What your looking for is called LUCITE, it's a type of lexan or
plexiglass, except it's denser than plexiglass so it's heavier. It's
use alot to make bar rails and such, or you will see figurines
imbedded it. Nylon to stringy to mill and delrin to soft. Try casting
you some clear fiberglass if you can't find Lucite. Good luck Scott.
