It's actually not that complicated to be honest.

Ill give you the basics but if you want further details ask away. I make stuff all the time with the exact same materials so it is literally the same concept me and my boyfriend have talked about this alot.

First you get clay, I prefer Le beau touche by chavant because its really soft and it wont dry out etc etc.

So you sculpt whatever it is you want your dildo to look like. Texture it how you want etc etc.

When youre done youre gonna make a mold which really depends on what your sculpture looks like. It can be stone (ultracal) or silicone (different than the kind you run your dildo in one is tin based the other is platinum based). Depending on the shape it would be a matrix, or block mold, etc. Which would really take further explain on how to set this up probably with pictures so like i said im simplifying.

Once your mold is done and cleaned. You can buy silicone (which can be expensive for kits) And they run in various grades. link Ive bought silicone from here but usually do it locally at shops.

You have to becareful when mixing it obviously you are using a catalyst so gloves, eye protection. It wont come out of your clothes. And after you mix it, the amount depends on your sculpt once again. Youre just gonna leave it over night. Than open your mold, cut any flashing, etc etc.

It isn't something thats cheap even mildly though. So it is something you really have to think about spending a lot of time and money on.

Like I said if you have more questions I am very familiar with this kind of stuff so just ask. less

If you do this start with some small things first to get a feel for how the process works and what you need to do, because the material is expensive and you can learn just as well on small things.

Very important stuff with casting: spend plenty of time making the mold really well and make sure you pour right (you might even want to invest in a vacuum molding machine to get the bubbles out). There's very little you can do to "rescue" a bad cast. less

So after waiting mostly patiently for the Tentacle to be in stock when I had some dildo dollars I finally managed to get one the other day. While reading the informational card from Whipspider I became all inspired and now want to go into making dildos and selling them on Etsy or something.
Of course, I really doubt that I have the time for this but I tend to get silly projects in my head often.
Has anyone ever thought about this?
Has anyone ever tried it? (Aside from the Clone-A-Willy kits, I'm curious about what materials you used for molds and where you purchased supplies and silicone. I've seen a lot of information about it but I would like to hear from people who have done it.)

P.S. I'd still totally shop on here. Besides, I love metal and wood and lots of other things. I'm just considering making silicone stuff. less

I laughed when I read this. I had a THING-MAKER when I was a kid. So did my hubby. They had two part metal molds and you filled them with PLASTIC GOOP. Then they went into an OPEN METAL HEATER (try selling THAT for kids today...ha, ha), and in my case, out came FLOWERS with PETALS and metal, bendable STEMS. In my hubbys case, out came SOLDIERS with internal wires so arms and legs could bend. These would have been PERFECT (if slightly larger) for making HOME MADE DILDO's. Someone should go NOSTALGIC and re-release that "toy" in a larger...ADULT ONLY form. What fun that would be. You could add in colors, textures, lights, sparkles, vibes...etc as you wished. (All sold separately, of course..ha, ha).

For those too young to remember this toy, you can google it, or probably find some old ones for sale...at a VERY high price, on eBay!!! less
