There are a several unsolved P2s that show up in Catagolue soups, and that lead to syntheses or potential syntheses.
The 4th soup from
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xp ... 2z01/b3s23 gives this 20-glider synthesis of 18P2.338.
The 2nd soup from
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xp ... x111/b3s23 gives a potential path to 18P2.358.
The 4th soup from
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xp ... gb0s/b3s23 gives a potential path to 18P2.378 plus much toxic junk (see generation 29).

The only soup from

There are also a few others that I couldn't find workable predecessors from:
7 soups for 18P2.253:
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xp ... 0307/b3s23
2 soups for 18P2.444:
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xp ... 0p0e/b3s23
Also, 1 soup for 24P4.1:
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xp ... 5011/b3s23
(Also, while editing this, I found a bug in LiveViewer: If you enter an invalid rule, you can't bring up the popup menu, which means you can't close the LifeViewer if it's taller than the screen; the only recourse is to click on a LifeViewer attached to another valid pattern on the page, and then close that).
EDIT: The above 18P2.395 synthesis can be cleaned up with 20 gilders, for a total of 48; I'm sure the cleanup can be improved.
