I used something very similar to this. This is not the exact same product, but I bought one that's basically the same at a local store. There are lots of good tutorials on YouTube on how to use these things.
This sounds FANTASTIC! A few questions on it.

Am I correct in assuming both products are pretty much the same stuff and work identically? Any advantages/disadvantages for one over the other?
I also found what looks like a helpful DIY video on YouTube:

If you're willing to put in some trial-and-error, you should look into casting. I've done a lot of it to recreate the one bit I need more of, and once you're used to it, it can really extend your money.
This is the base of what you need. Put it in some boiling water, wait for it to get soft, then push that one piece you need into it. Then let it cool (I put it in the freezer to speed this up). Once the bottom half of the mold sets, heat up another piece, and put it on top. You'll need to apply some pressure to get it into every crevice, then put it in the freezer to set again.
Once it sets, you can remove the original from the center, and fill the mold with GreenStuff (or better yet, a 50-50 mix of GreenStuff and Milliput), and leave it for 5-6 hours with a weight on top of it (to push out the extra). Then pop it out, remove the flash, and you have another piece!
