Molds for Atlas stones; What can I use to make a 50 cm mold?

I want to make my own Atlas Stones. And I want them to be IFSA standard, 50 cm diametre.
Making the mold with fiberglass is not the problem, finding something completely round, and exactly with a 50 cm diametre, is worse...

Does anyone have a clue to what I should/could use?

Also, does anyone know about a good recipe for Tacky? The stuff in the store is made for some sort of indoor ballgame... and is sorta soft...

Can't you just put more pressure into the ball to get it bigger?

Put more air into yours. They are usually "anti-burst", so they shouldn't deform or explode if you overfill them a bit. Just make sure that you measure the ball carefully before you start making the mold.

Check ebay for tacky resin -- someone is selling a pile of it in the UK. I'm sure that they provide a recipe as well.
