I'd forgotten how much BETTER Ecoflex is than Dragon Skin. The lower viscosity makes it easier to measure, mix, color, degas, and pour. Pretty much everything about Ecoflex is superior to Dragon Skin except (unfortunately) the final stiffness. If you want to make dildos and you don't have a vacuum pump setup, use the slowest-curing Ecoflex you can find and let it sit until the pot life is almost up before pouring: many of the bubbles will rise up and pop on their own due to the low viscosity.Carth Dookie posted:Since Elise has done due diligence with a flared (ball) base, this probably won't happen. But then people can be very creative about they butts. I know one guy who takes dildos base-first and inserts them completely. There is no way people aren't going to manage to injure themselves with something.

Heck if enough of these make it out into circulation, it might be worth putting a word in to the medical thread and having it like a lottery. First nurse/doctor to spot one in their Emergency Department in the orifice of a patient wins a prize.

It was hard enough doing my taxes and itemizing which car trips were to the post office without dealing with employees and managerial standards. I'm just making a couple dozen toys for goons as part of a comedy thread. On the other hand, if I were a bit more shameless, I'd LOVE to go through all the normal business-building processes with a toy-making enterprise. Picture of me and the mayor cutting the ribbon on the new dong plant, ten-minute-long videos on silicone-pouring PPE, certifying that none of my money is going to Iran, Cuba, Syria, or North Korea...

Ok, here are some pictures of last night's dong. It's the same color scheme as Elise's (which seems to be very popular). I've placed it next to Elise's to show the difference in floppiness. Left: A10 (medium), right: 00-20: (super soft). The super soft definitely can't stand on its own without the suction cup action of the base. The silicone has a meniscus and each toy will have a bit of a suction cup effect if stuck to a smooth surface. With the 00-20 toy, it can only take a pull force of ~1 pound before popping free, though. Speaking of pull force, this is about ~10 pounds of tension on the super soft toy. It's got no problems stretching that far. These toys can extend to >8 times their original length without breaking. When you get yours in, be sure to take a look at the bottom. There is almost always a neat pattern there, especially if you got metallics. A slightly out-of-focus shot of just the toy itself. Any photography tips other than get a lightbox you idiot are definitely appreciated.

Let's learn about glow-in-the-dark (GITD) pigment! It's an off-white powder. If you mix it into silicone without any other pigment, it looks like jizz. However, if you DO mix in other pigment, it will partially block the glow. The darker the other pigment, the less glow you'll see. One question you might ask is, if I use blue GITD pigment and red visible-light pigment, will my dong look purple? It depends. In the darkness, it will look pale blue. In the light, it will look red. If you hold it under a blacklight for a while then put it in visible light, it will look very slightly purple, but mostly red. Despair not, friends, purple GITD pigment does exist! Here is a sampler pack I just got: Why the colored circles? Cameras see different color ranges from human eyes. The colored dots represent what they look like to me. The biggest difference is the purple powder on the right, which is really more of a pale lavender. It emits a good deal of its photons in the ultraviolet range, and I have a UV filter on my camera lens, so it only picks up the blue. Here are the three pigments I have available: Top left is aqua, top right is green, bottom is blue. You'll notice that the green is somewhat brighter than the aqua, which is somewhat brighter than the blue. I put the blue under the blacklight for about twice as long to charge it, too. This is because the blue is less efficient at turning UV photons into visible light photons, and also because human eyes are more sensitive to green than to other colors. In toys, I use aqua when it's alongside other pigments so that it'll be more visible. If it's just the GITD pigment alone, I use blue, which then has a chance to stand out. Here is an aqua toy + mica: And here's how it looks in daylight: These powders are based on a rare earth element called Europium and have a really cool brightness curve: Whereas traditional pigments start bright and quickly drop off, these powders will glow for hours. Granted, 10 mcd per square meter isn't a lot, but it's certainly visible in the dark. Note that the Y-axis is logarithmic; the green pigment is probably 50-70% brighter than the "blue" (actually aqua) pigment. Anyway, there is your primer* on GITD pigments. I can try to answer any other questions you've got. * my coworker pronounces this "primmer" for some reason, is he correct? I figured it was like the primer you use before painting something, or like the primer in a bullet. Dildomancer fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Sep 3, 2016 |

Your coworker is crazy. It's pronounced like you think: prime+r. Question: does the orange pigment not last as long, or is it made of the same material? I've never had good luck with purple or orange/red glow-in-the-dark ABS filament for my 3D printer, but the newest white(green)/green/aqua filaments have excellent characteristics.

Geirskogul posted:Your coworker is crazy. It's pronounced like you think: prime+r. Of the sample pack I have, only purple has a different chemistry. The rest are the same material and are just tuned differently somehow. Its guidesheet says that green is the brightest, followed by aqua, orange, blue, and violet. So orange is actually pretty bright. They might just use a different formulation for yours.

It's also pronounced "primmer," but only when it's an introductory text (or similar) and not, say, a base coat for paint. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/primer I love your work and can't believe how this thread took off.

Here is the latest addition - a soft dong with marbled pearl white and GITD blue. Here it is next to a similar toy with aqua GITD. I will be able to ship out the first batch on Friday because that's the first day my wife will be out of work before the post office closes. Shipping takes ~2-5 days within the US. Outside the country is kind of a crapshoot. I've had toys show up in England within a week, but take a month to get to Germany.

Get a white piece of paper or card and prop it up against some books or something to act as a backdrop. Then get a desk lamp and use it to light the object you're shooting. Ideally take the photo with a window or other source of natural light behind you. The combination of natural light, close up lighting and a white background is basically as good as a cheap lightbox.

OK, I know I'm late to the game but I just have to say that this whole thread is loving incredible. Its been years since I've spent any real time on the forums, and this thread reminds me what I enjoyed so much about it in the first place. Dildomancer, you are a loving master bringing all this to life! I have to say though that, being the giant nerd I am for worldbuild-y details like this, Elise's post explaining elven reproductive physiology is my favorite thing I've read in quite a long time. In fact, I know a couple people have talked about printing it out to frame alongisde their magical glowing elf dicks when they arrive, so I've taken the liberty of combining her original essay with some of her later posts that go into further detail and speculation about elf physiology. Basically, I just wanted to condense all of the wisdom of our resident expert on elvish sexuality into a single giant essay that people can display alongside their elf dongs if they so wish. Elise, I hope this is alright! While I was combining your posts into one essay, I ended up making some minor edits along the way as well (I do some freelance proofreading/editing on the side, so I couldn't help making at least some changes). I tried not to change anything too significant -- mostly they were just minor edits to help with clarity, flow, etc. I had to guess at what you meant in one or two spots, but I don't think I changed anything major. If I did mess something up, or if you want me to change/remove anything from this, just let me know and I'll be happy to fix it! Elise the Great, Musings on the Physiology of Elvish Sexuality posted:First things first: we actually do know what elves called their dicks, because even the glorious JRRT couldn't keep his hands out of his pants. The poetic term (yes, elves seem to have engaged in erotic poetry) would be gwî, but for everyday usage gwib was the preferred term. Puntl is provided as the coarse, moderately transgressive term, and likely what you would be invited to suck if you went down on a male elf. Alas, due to the ban on the Noldorin language, we have no surviving slang for Fëanor's johnson. I should really be embarrassed that I spent this much time and effort compiling a bunch of writing about elf cocks. But I'm totally not. This was way the hell more entertaining that it had any right to be

I don't have anyone to buy this for but I do want to buy this for someone. The OP came up with some suggestions for color schemes though. Camo The US flag colors Green and dripping blood Blue balls white shaft and red blood appearing to drip from the tip in a striped fashion The last one must be made, it would cost $30. But I don't want to buy it, not have someone to give it to, die, and then have my siblings try to figure out why I had a horrifying elf dildo.

RandomPaul if you want it, I will pay for whatever it takes if it is possible to do this, and send it to you. And by "whatever it takes" I mean my budget is $50. Either that or a tri-mix (I don't know the term, three colors layered all together) in the new US Army OCP pattern colors and color ratio. Again, I will pay for this and send it to you if it is even possible to make, as long as you yourself to take some photos of it on your car or at least in front of your computer. For some reason, this thread reminds me of the "old" SA that existed back when I was on my first account in the "trolling Dark Age of Camelot with horses"-era, and I'm super happy it happened.
