Dear Tal
It sounds like you are looking for a RTV silicone. This material is freely
available on the market. I prefer to use the GE/Bayer RTV silicones.
Wacker also makes supplies good RTV silicones.
You can also make "synthetic marble" from a combination of epoxy resin, Kulu
10 Brite(a white filler powder 10 micron size) and aluminium or metal oxides
(grey & red powders). The final addition of the oxide & incomplete mixing
process will give you the marble pattern. This method can also be used for
the imitation of Ivory, Granite and Onyx materials.
Hope it helps!
Regards
Rudi
