Seeking a material that is softer than resin, but harder than plaster …
Alternate casting materials. If something about the mold is just problematic for casting it with plaster, the next thing to try would be a stronger plaster-like material that is soft enough to easily carve with a hobby knife. Mixing the plaster with a small amount of PVA glue adds a lot of strength. Hydrocal is an enhanced plaster that is stronger.
