sorry, but I don't quite understand your question. If you are asking if you can pour rtv silicone into an rtv silicone mold, the answer is yes if you use plenty of mold release.
otherwise if you can give me a better explanation as to what you're trying to do I'll try and help you out.

the flex rubbers are not as stretchy as hs2, but I guess it would be possible (but i'm not sure how practical) to make a spinnerbait skirt out of one of the softer flex materials but I wouldn't suggest messing with it. I think the thread would cut through it if tied tightly.
You could use the round rubber like some hardcore bass guys use on jigs.

Mold release your High Strength 2 mold very well before pouring more High Strength in to make your skirt. It loves to bond to itself. If you don't have any UMR, smear a very thin layer of Vaseline anywhere the two are going to touch.
