You should look around the Smooth-on website. Tons of casting a coating info.

ive had a few pipe dreams of making a foam rocket coated with this stuff or making a mold of parts and casting them with this lightweight urethane

I see videos like this and say, "I want to do this", but with the proper safety and environmental hazard precautions.
I'm a big jerk about not messing around when it comes to safety. A "Safety Nazi" I have been called in the Motorpool more than once.
I wear it like a badge of honor, as safety equals efficiency.
You are going to encounter a fairly large exposure to hazardous substances when you get to doing rockets all the time, so the biggest favor you can do for yourself before beginning is get stuff like a NIOSH Certified Respirator, Face Shield, Goggles, Nitrile Gloves, etc;
The more I do stuff like Fiberglassing and working with Epoxies, the more I find myself having to work outdoors, which is great for natural lighting, but not so good if it is snowing or raining.
I wear the respirator anyway when I'm outside sanding FG, as the thought of a FG Fiber in my big strong lungs sickens me. I don't smoke, and want my lungs to be healthy as they can be.
I'de really like to have a dedicated workspace, with positive airflow, like when I worked in a Cheese Factory, but til' then, I'll build as safe as I can.
