I have a space in my car's armrest where my car phone used to be. 
It's uncomfortable.  I'd like to make a gel pad to fit in the space
(approx 2x8x1.5)

Hi ejacobsen,
I found one article detailing how to make a Gel Seat for a Motorcycle..
URL: http://www.itrocks.com/motorcycles/gel_seat.htm
The Gel Inserts from that article can be bought at: 
http://www.thepropad.com/shop/search_result.asp?Category=Polymer%20Insert%20Kits

Since the Gel Inserts are only .5" Thick, is it okay if the Gel Pads
are stacked for your Car's armrest?

Thanks.

Here you'll find a lot of info for mastectomy patients who want to
make their own breast prostheses. Some of these suggestions could
easily be adapted for your project:

Stacking standard 1/2" pads is not what I had in mind.  I'm looking
for step by step instructions for molding a gel pad in one piece that
will fit precicely.

Mastectomy pad site has 2 basic suggestions:  balloon fill...which is
not shaped the way I need, or mold and layer after layer of caulking
allowed to dry (way too long).

Let's focus on the gel wrist pads I see at CompUSA every day.  However
they're made would seem to be most relevant.
