Anyway if Steven Colbert is here somewhere, lurking quietly, I just want to apologize for my existence and ask for absolution for my gross thoughts about elves.

Stephen Colbert is such a huge LOTR nerd that he got Williams (I think) to re-issue a LOTR pinball machine. Rumor has it that the footage on How It's Made about pinball machines is them building his special order one. As long as your mythos and knowledge is solid, I don't think he'd complain, actually. E: where I'm storing it for now. Don't worry, it's a flat-top LED bulb, very low heat. Though it is literally right at the opening of the front door.

Customer confidentiality is a big deal when adult toys are involved. Can you confirm/deny whether you've sold to a celebrity in general? Sort of like how Elise can tell hospital horror stories as long as there's no identifying info (my partner used to work in medical billing and our former roommate was a pharmacy tech, I know all about HIPAA.) If you were to hypothetically make a thing for a celebrity, would you put extra care into it, or just treat it like any other order? And now that's got me wondering if there's a silicone copy of the AMPAS trophy out there, and as a corollary, whether an Academy Award winner has ever stuck their actual Oscar in themselves (and/or a partner). Surely somebody has.

Everyone gets the same amount of effort and care, and that's all I'm going to say on that subject. On a completely different note, I just finished making a tentacle. It's really only a tentacle in a very loose sense; you just cap one end of a PVC pipe and pour silicone in the other. This particular tentacle is 3' long and 1" wide, made of 00-20 (super soft) silicone.   A moderate tug is sufficient to stretch it to ~5x its original size. Tentacles this soft are better suited to impact play and light bondage than to penetration.

I think that would be beyond my abilities. That's something that would be much better suited to a two-part mold, because with a one-part mold, you'd inevitably end up with a whole mess of bubbles.

Apparently I have puntl in the mail! I've never ordered something like this before, and I'm impressed with how well it came out, Dildomancer! On to the part people actually want to see. Apologies for the dark shots, my camera is a potato, especially with only glowing elf dong to light shots! Behold, the puntl! I like how the blue came out a lot.  Side shot, with soda can for scale. This thing's not small.  Now to unleash the POWER!   Turning off the light...  Thing's got some serious glow to it!  Even after 5 minutes while I dicked around with the camera, it was still glowing strong.  The pictures don't do the glow justice, it was a lot brighter in person. I haven't quite decided what to do with this thing yet, but I think it may find its way into the background of a friend's Halloween party this year. Should be spectacular under blacklight.

The mold is being remade in a different, completely random color scheme. Making the mold isn't quite as much fun as making a dildo (mostly because it's so expensive), but it's a logistical challenge, and I enjoy logistical challenges. Essentially, you should pour one continuous cylinder of firm silicone. However, you can only degas ~300cc at a time, and a typical mold is a liter or three, so you have to juggle around 3 bowls, 2 measuring cups, 2 spoons, 2 containers of silicone, and 2 vacuum chambers while manipulating cure times with a heat gun to ensure that you can clean the fast-dried silicone off your equipment and mix another batch before the layer you just poured cures. I enjoy figuring this out so much! The careful choreography, the tricky pours, the relief when it's finally done... it's SO much better than the drudgery of my day job.

Have you ever tried making a mold around unbaked sculpey? It sounds dumb but I saw a dude on youtube who used unbaked sculpey to make half of a two-part mold (not the sculpture itself) and I assume it means you can use at least some of the clay afterward? I haven't tried it myself but I'm curious and dongs seem like they'd be sturdy enough for it to work.

I haven't tried it myself but I'm curious and dongs seem like they'd be sturdy enough for it to work. I have done that, yes. The silicone curing around the Sculpey makes it brittle somehow, so you'd have to add some more oil to it before reusing, but that's not a huge deal. The downside is that you don't have your model anymore, and if the mold gets ruined/lost (or just comes out badly and you don't realize it), you have to start from scratch.

Does uncured silicone bond with cured silicone as well as other uncured silicon? Like if you pour a toy in parts (letting it cure in between) does it make a good strong connection? I know you said you have to use plenty of release agent but I'm curious how layered you can get with colors and different types of silicone in a single piece.

fordham posted:Does uncured silicone bond with cured silicone as well as other uncured silicon? Like if you pour a toy in parts (letting it cure in between) does it make a good strong connection? Alright, here is a handy list. Keep in mind these are all for good platinum-cure silicone. Cheap sex shop dicks may not follow the same rules. Cured (solid) silicone and cured silicone will not stick to each other. You can keep two fresh dongs in a drawer together, touching, for ages and they will never bond. Cured silicone in contact with uncured (liquid) silicone may or may not adhere. If the cured silicone has release agent or skin oil or water on it, the two will not bond. If the cured silicone is clean, they will likely bond, and tightly. They will only come apart via determined peeling or very strong tension. Rough silicone will have a better bond than smooth silicone. Uncured silicone will bond deeply with other uncured silicone even if they are different firmnesses. This extends to partially cured (tacky) silicone, so long as you don't mess up and blast some release agent in there. So, if you are going to make a layered toy, you have two choices: 1) Pour it all in one long session. Pour a layer, let it get a bit tacky, pour the next, etc. 2) Pour it in separate sessions but be VERY careful that it stays clean. A follow-up question might be, "how much release agent is enough to prevent uncured silicone from adhering to cured silicone?" The answer is: 3 generous coats for a new mold, and 1 coat per dong after its first use. Use the spray bottle and hit it like you're misting a baking sheet with cooking oil spray. The vapor sinks so it will tend to settle at the bottom. Don't let it accumulate there or silicone at the tip of the mold won't cure properly. Put the mold upside-down as the release agent dries. Don't pour silicone immediately after spraying release agent.

I'm just chipping in here that I started reading this thread for entertainment (thanks Elise!) but I'm actually learning new stuff, too - I'm not an aspiring dildomaker but I've recently gotten into casting resin and plaster miniature parts with silicon molds and dabbled in making my own molds. This is all sorts of useful information right here. Dildomancer, actual question here - I've been thinking of getting my hands on a degassing chamber to make my casts a bit more solid/professional but I live in Finland and most US sellers won't actually ship over here. Is there a particular model you'd recommend getting that I should try and hunt for? Volume-wise I doubt I'll be doing much more than about a cup's worth of silicon or resin mix in one go - these are 28mm scale model parts I'm talking of and a two-part 'sprue' mold that makes, say, five helmets ends up about the size of a chocolate bar. Also, I'm aware that you likely haven't dabbled with two-part epoxy resin much, but are you aware of any reason why I couldn't pop the whole mold, filled with degassed resin, into the vacuum chamber and let it sit there for around fifteen minutes for the initial set? I had an impression that would help to suck out any little bubbles that get trapped into the mold cavities out, or would that just make things worse?

This is all sorts of useful information right here. Be warned that my experience begins and ends with silicone, but here is the information I can offer. For the vacuum chambers, I just went on Amazon and picked a highly rated seller that was nearby. It happened to be a company named Pro-Vac. Vacuum chambers aren't really high-tech. They're basically a thick-walled saucepan with its handle(s) cut off plus a polycarbonate lid. The only truly fragile part is the gauge on top. So I'd just look for something nearby, and if you can't find anything retail, look for something used. As for putting the mold in the vacuum chamber as it cures, I definitely do not recommend this. I tried it for a small toy and it came out very badly. When in a vacuum chamber, the bubbles inevitably imbedded in the silicone swell up to a much larger size, and if it cures like that, you're going to get a puffy, porous

I just did a google and found some notes on a modelmaking site - if I really wanted to be 'super professional' I'd get a pressure chamber to cure the molds in. This compresses the air bubbles and makes them (seem to) disappear - though it's not quite as useful for flexible materials like silicon where the bubble will just try to expand when you remove it from a pressurized environment.
