Question; What two-part liquid elastomer system would best absorb engine vibration? Urethane? RTV? Background; I tried a commercial kit of 2-part elastomer, advertised to reduce engine vibrations transmitted through the frame work and control handles. It was expensive but it actually worked very well ! Now I want to do the same to the whole frame, but without paying exhorbitant prices for a small quantity. I cannot tell what the two liquids are. (Black soup & white soup made gray soup that hardened to about 90 Shore A inside bar in 12 hours.)
