Well im not a expert in building molds/plugs but if im not mistaking in one off construction people use urethane foam. Make sure it has no foil on it.
Also look in the yellow pages for fiberglass supplies, or something along them lines and you should find it.

Look for the blue hard foam called "Stirodur" (made in Germany by BASF) or the "Fibran" (made in Grece). They are the same material just the brand names are different according to the manufacturer. It's used in the exterior building isolations and usualy the foam blocks are 2000x700mm big and 30-45mm thick.
