I am hoping someone from the list may be able to help me in tracking down materials to make a silicone inner socket lined with leather. I believe this may have been the old Michigan Gel style? I can source the leather but have found absolutely no leads on the material to form the silicone (I believe it was a sheet material that was thermo-formable with fabric backing to bond with the leather?).

Appreciate any help,
