Oh yeah that doesn't work at all. Sorry about that. I thought that it was the same stuff I had purchased previously, which had 900% elongation. I was making dust boots for linear actuators for a robot. 5% is no good at all. Here's the stuff I bought previously, I don't know if it's any better than the stuff you already have. It's about $47 CAD if that's a deciding factor.

What is your experience with silicone? Would this suffice and be firm enough?

I found this stuff for making molds I've never used silicone for anything other than sealing an aquarium and some doorm so I don't know a whole lot about it. There are a few different kinds of silicone. Which kind is best depends on what you want to do with it.
