Ideas or pointers for a pourable but dries malleable gel?

You could try DIY Gel but I'm not sure how long that stuff might last.
You could try Gel Wax. Someone is selling 4lbs of the stuff on eBay for $14.95

Just spotted this on hackaday! Sugru! its moldable and sets at room temp! Might be handy for other projects aswell!

Dang, somehow I missed the emails on all the responses. Great ideas.
I checked out the Sugru, but it dries too stiff for what I'm looking to do (it'll go in a flexible clear hose full of el wire and DVI cabling).
The ballistics gel is another great idea. I've seen that stuff on Mythbusters, just forgot about it.
There's an interesting home recipe here for it

But you're right. Seems like it tends to turn yellow brown which would make it too murky for what I want. Still, mine will be a lot thinner than a block so it might work. It's cheap enough to try out anyway :)
Thanks!
