Seriously, give Miracle Mold a try. You won't be sorry. It's so easy
to use a 5 year old could do it. No special tools required, no
measuring. Just take a pinch of part A & B and mix it up. They don't
even have to be exactly even amounts, just get it close. I swear by
the stuff. I've gone through almost 3 pounds. I've molded anything
that didn't run away fast enough. LOL And the detail Miracle Mold
captures is fabulous !!! And you can bake right in the mold (Up to
like 650 degrees) without it losing it's ability to make a perfect
image every time. I know you can buy a sample size to try it out.

I have to scratch my head at this. Is this a pourable RTV? It looks much
more like a putty than a pourable silicone.

I guess knowing the intended use of the RTV would be a great help in this
instance. The Puffilina RTV looks like a very good push mold medium I
suppose but if you need pourable silicone to make two piece molds for
casting resins and such you may need the Oomoo or something similar.

Cost is another factor as a poured mold typically requires 2-5 lbs of
silicone and the Puffilina RTV is $40 a pound (in bulk) where Oomoo is $8 a
pound.
