[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Use of Dental impression paste

Anyone ever heard of using this stuff to make an impression (mold) of the chamber for measurements?
We have used it in the aerospace industry for measuring close-tolerance holes in areas that cannot be accessed with a mic or caliper.
It dries harder than RTV type silicone but not as hard as epoxy...and doesn't stick.

Yes, it works, and works WELL. I used to use it in the aerospace business when the commies were still in business, and when they kept govt contracts going. I almost digressed. Anyway, dental impression mold compound is perfect for chamber inspection/measurements.
