In the dim and distant past I slush cast parts for a model car suspension, as the originals were prone to breaking. Slush casting is pouring a mix of resin chopped glass and a filler (brass in this case) into a mould. It can also be used for reinforcing sections of mouldings that are too thin to use mat, or to form fillets in corners, without the filler in this case.
For making silicone moulds I use Lego type building blocks, Ideally the silicone should be vacuum degassed, but if poured slowly from height, so as to make a thin strand, that does a pretty good job of removing air bubbles.
