Suppose I obtain pure raw silicon and process it up to the point right before polymerisation into rubber silicone (to be mixed with curing agent). How do I control hardness (Shore) of the final product?

Also, how is the curing agent typically done? I know it depends on the type of silicone but isn't there some kind of common base or process?

Where do I find materials on this?
