Two come immediately to mind. Gelatin and plaster of paris (the latter would require either soaking or a pressure washer for removal). Grain cereals of several sorts might also serve, since they are commonly used in crafting (flour paste, oatmeal, cream of wheat, corn grits, etc) "hard" covers a lot of territory. Some further indication of the application or it's requirements would help in replying. Modified by WhiteTiger at Fri, Feb 10, 2006, 14:30:04

Thanks very much for the suggestions. The application is for the support structure in a rapid prototyping process, where i am investigating the potential use of cheaper or more readily available materials than those which are currently used in commercial RP production. I had considered icing sugar and/or meringue (protein and sugar), but the more possible solutions i consider, the better the chance of finding a suitable material.
