Moto got some conductive rubber. It is very viscous. Need vacuum for flow assistance? Other material? Can also get conductive rubber sheets. Chromerics (?). Is it also sticky? Does it shrink alot while drying? All these factors influence how easy it is to work with. If it wants to shrink and you don't let it, it may crack. WillP has some experience with various of these.

High temp. curing is another problem. -- MarkCutkosky - 02 Jul 2003
