Default Homebrew insulators

I came across an old single LPDA TV antenna in the trask. It was
pretty much FUBAR except for a coupe of feet of boom matrial and a few
insulators. My XYL is into making models and castings and she can make
a mold of the insulators easy enough. I was wondering if anyone knew
of a good casting material that would be compatable with the
requirements to build a single boom LPDA antenna to form the
insulators. She is not usually concerned with strength or UV
resistance so she couldnt help much on this part.

I think before I went through that hassle I would just buy some solid
fiberglass rod and make them out of that.

www.mgs4u.com as one example sells 8 foot lengths of half inch rod
for $6.00.
