.. and the mango jelly from Lidls probably is a bit on the stiff side, I doubt they tested it up to 130C, although sugar boils at 105 anyway.
Nothwithstanding that, I'm aiming at a sub 100 Euro rebuild entirely from Esso 'On-the-Run' filling station sweetie counters

It is, you are right but I used the silicone from old breast implants I had lying around. Some of that silicone can feel stiff too but depends on the usage once applied. I'll do a graph for Aidan.
Clive if you need some silicone for your trials, I have some Monkey testicle implants here that I'm not using.

Was it my own silicone? Well technically if you go by the rule 'possesion is 9/10 the of the law' the answer is yes. Did I buy it? No!

Re: Rebuild your own VC for 119 Euros
I have not finished the VC yet as I havent found an icing bag nozzle right for injecting through the small allen head bolt holes, but here I am mixing the silicoxane fluid.

A little thin I know, thats why it's on a baking tray, firm it up a bit.
