I agree with GAFrogs.Pete Moss or Coco fiber will work. If you buy the coco fiber brick you will need to soak it in a bucket. All you have to do is lay the brick on its side and fill with water till its submerged 3/4 way. After it absorbs the water, break the brick apart.Since its really wet you will need to let it dry out. I would recommend doing this step a few days before you start your GS or the same day you start. That way by the time you are done it will be dry enough to use. There are 2 kinds of GS. One in a baby blue can and the other in a red can, both will work. Also don't forget you can sculpture the GS once its dry.Razor blades and even pulling pieces off with your fingers will work. Also one more thing is how to remove the access GS from applicator tube and nozzle.One thing about GS is when it drys its expands so lets say you have a can of GS and you don't use the whole can. What happens to the nozzle and tube? Most people would throw it away but if you blow out the access GS and let it dry you can remove it easily with a paper clip or a small rod of some sort.
One more thing I want to state is when you are finished with the GS and move to the Silicone part of it, be generous when you apply the Silicone. If you do too thin of a layer, after you put the coco fiber or Pete Moss on you will notice spots that were missed or showed up after, due to pressing of the coco or moss onto the silicone. I am not saying put a ton but a good amount will do. I hope this helps.
