Model Cast is a polyurethane...aren't polyurethanes hygroscopic (they absorb moisture?) I would think thats the wrong material to use for this purpose, regardless of how it looks.
So Jeff, I was going to jump in & tell him to contact you for what you showed me that you use on them - so what was that stuff, just tar again?
IIRC you're right about the urethanes, which is why it holds moisture in the body cavities where similar products were used on our 914s - like at the sail/fender junctures!
So George's suggestion may not be much better for attracting moisture, than the Model Cast.
IMHO - if not original spec bituminous tar - then if anything, a flexible liquid rubber or sealant type product may be the best alternative, if it dries solid & won't be too runny to stay in the tray bottom during "casting" of it.
