I'd think the GE Silicone II would work OK.For somewhat more flexibility, the crafts industry sells a wide variety of two-part silicone mold-making resins.For example: https://www.amazon.com/Smooth-Silicone-Making-OOMOO-30/dp/B004BNF3TK/https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/mold-max/

there is a chinese company that specialises in silicone products.

705 is a specially usefull one because you can seal windows, leds etc.

There's also this stuff



Available for cheap from the usual suspects.

It's thermally conductive which is good if you need to spread the heat around. (But it cures firm like adhesive.)

Silastic (a portmanteau of 'silicone' and 'plastic') is a trademark registered in 1948 by Dow Corning Corporation for flexible, inert silicone elastomer.

Where I used to work, everyone called it RTV (room temperature vulcanizing).

If I recall correctly, I have heard that as it cures it gives of ammonia(?) which corrodes copper. I don't know if this is true or not.
