I can't wait to see how bullets react when they hit it.

That's definitely a bonus.
This stuff is reusable so that appealed to me as well. If it works as well as I think it will I'll make a mold for a torso.

Is that something you gotta keep at a certain temperature?

This particular mix needs to be refrigerated until used according to the video I watched. Said it should be transported in a cooler. I'm going to do some more research and see if there's something I can add to it to reduce or eliminate the need to keep it cool.

I don't think there's anything you can add. I use to watch Mythbusters and they used ballistic gel alot. They were always having problems with it melting in the summer. And you know they were using the high dollar stuff.

Exactly. My thought is if I can reduce the moisture content of the final product, it should in theory be less temperature sensitive.

That may work. Never hurts to try.
