Sorry, didn't see this one until after I replied. Hmm, a couple of gallons and
mold for concrete, you must be making something big ( minds just went into the
gutter again :) ). Yes, Plaza Art has exactly what you need. When I read this
my heart skipped a beat. Mold latex is usually brushed on in layers, but it can
be poured. It takes the latex about 4 to 5 hours per coat to dry or if poured
it seems to take forever to dry. I just did a latex mold ( it was a small slip
mold and I didn't want to waste silicone ) and had to keep a log of datetime
and direction of stroke. It took about a week to complete. The castings were
great though! Something that would require two gallons of latex, man, that is
going to take a while. It may be more cost effective to do a matrix mold and
use silicone or do what I am doing and use a brushed silicone and plaster
mother mold. These are just my thoughts with minimal knowledge of the project.
I have several molds to make and
the silicone seems to be a better approach if you find the right stuff for the
material. Good luck! :)

I didn't even go down that gutter in my mind! :)
This is needed to make a mold for concrete. ...
