Maybe you were waiting with bated breath to read about how my sex toy manufacturing is going. Even if you weren't, I'm going to tell you.
Early Saturday evening I took the two halves of my plaster mold, duct-taped them together, mixed the two halves of my silicone, and poured it in. I didn't know what the viscosity of liquid silicone was before I poured it. Suffice it to say that it was runny enough to start leaking out of the mold everywhere. So I put the mold and as much of the leaked silicone as I could gather into the same plastic food storage container that I'd used for making the mold. Silicone contained. Yay!
Twenty-four hours later, it was time to extract my toy. Fingers alone couldn't get the mold out of the plastic container, so I fetched my rubber mallet. Unsurprisingly, both the mold and the container are now completely destroyed. However! I have my sex toy!
Mind you, I needed to wash some plaster off, a job made a little more difficult by the roughness that the plaster imparted to the silicone. And since there wasn't a good seal within the mold, the sex toy was embedded in a layer of silicone 2-3mm thick, which I (mostly) removed with my Xacto knife.
So how does it feel? Well, I think I need to amputate the bulbous tip that's a faithful copy of the glass dildo's. Without that bulb, the insertion part of the toy will be about as long as my middle finger, which is known to work. I also need to get rid of some of the layer that I left on for strength; especially on the posterior side, I think it's hitting me wrong. I have some Xacto knife work to do, and I plan to do that tonight. My son will be here. It'll be educational for him. The clit action, however, is right on, and that's the piece that's usually missing from store-bought toys for me.
Have I accomplished with it what I meant to? Not quite yet. Is it rigid enough? Just barely. Will it save my knuckles? Definitely! Will it save my wrist? Probably, but I'm not sure about that; my wrist is sore again from recent overuse and it heals slowly.
Oh, and since I name my sex toys, I've come up with something: Lady Di the DIY. Tip o' the topper to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Edited to add: I'll post photos when I have a finished product.
Edited to add some more: I'm not going to try again with Di until tomorrow night at the earliest. I'm a little sore Down There at the moment, and besides, my son is here. But I did the Xacto carving already.
