I have never tried molding with plumber's epoxy, so I unfortunately have no information on the matter. However, a quick search on Google shows that it could indeed work, as it appears similar. I will try to test some out in a mold.

Applying pressure with your hands should be more than sufficient (it works for me). You definitely want to apply enough pressure to get the putty compressed into the detailed ridges of the mold, and this is doable with your bare hands (unless you are severely arthritic, or have other, similar problems...If that is the case, just recruit someone in your area to put the squeeze on).
