My biggest problem with milk duds is that once pressed you barely have enough usuable tip height left to play with. If I could get a thick enough Elk Master or Triangle to start with I might have different results.

I have been making milk duds for awhile now, I make them out of elkmaster, lepro, triangles and water buffalo. I use the elks on all my cues, and most of my team uses them as well. Making a milk dud just IMO makes the tip more consistant by holding its shape, and not mushrooming. To make a good milk dud you just need to play with it till you get what you like and stick with it.
