Probably not the right person to answer this, but
If you look at my pics, that is what I understand as a splash mould. I put a couple of layers of glass over the scuttle to act as a mould when I widen it, so it still matches to the original... David... Mind you I could be wrong...

When widening a part, taking a splash mould gives you something to mould against once the item has been split, enabling you to keep the shape and contours

Splash mould is a word used for a "quick mould" to capture a shape. Usually not that thick, just thick enough to keep the shape etc.
Just be careful with the stuff and ideally wear eye protection as it's evil if you get it in your eyes, can safely say it burns like you won't believe and scares the bejeesus out of you as you just know it's curing and will cure quicker with body heat...
