Not spongy at all, pretty impervious to a lot of solvents. Not sure of the brand-name, but I'll post it when I dig up the paperwork. I think I know the stuff you are talking about. If you go onto mould making websites, they have some good paints for this type of stuff. You could use earthy toned paints and give it the look of an antique ceramic tile. Go into your local paint shop and look at the special effects paint - there is some nice stuff. I hope you planning on doing some more!
