Can this product be sanded down and painted after it cures? Will this product stick to metal? Is this product water proof?

Sanded = yes. Painted = Do some research on painting of foam and check the Smooth-On website for more info. Stick to metal = Yes. Water-proof = It is not a foam for nautical use if that is what you are asking.

Pouring final products or to make molds either works

putting in a gypsum cement mold will vasiline work for the release? thanks

No, Vaseline won't release the foam from the gypsum. As long as your mold doesn't have a lot of convolutions and/or undercuts, you can get good results from sealing the mold surface with 2 or three layers of shellac and using a mold wax to release the foam. You're much better of casting this foam in silicone molds.

When put it in a silicone mold and wait for it to dry, it hardens. I want it to be soft. Is my measurements wrong or am I buying the wrong series?

Hi, I too ordered the rigid by accident. I still need to return. We now have the flex foam 3.... this is the kind you need. My daughter makes "squishes" with it! Glad to have helped since I just went through the exact same thing!
