Silicone is pretty mushy stuff. I wonder if a
polyurethane elastomer such
as Lexel might work a bit better?
I use it for caulking around water and it's very
sticky and sets to a
fairly firm texture.

Oh, it's 'mushy'; used it to feed very fine paper w/o deforming it. It gets
a bit of paper dust on it and feeds very nicely. It doesn't work for a
pinch-pickup. I had access to fun industrial stuff in the long ago, but
I've since used a number of 3M, Loctite silicon/poly/ure electronic
encapsulants and consumer/commercial sealants (RTV and heat). I am sure
there is stuff that takes to high density and speed better, but my expertise
in this area is finite.
Cheer, jp
