thinking of making toys, where to get silicone?

NSFW

So the only silicon i could find is the glue sticks ones. I've found it at some hardware store and it used to glue things in the bathroom. says bacteria free and probably doesn't get affected by water.

Is it safe to use it for anal dildos?

Right now I bought play dough and I'll use that to mold my penis, and then fill it with silicone so yeah... Not sure how great this idea is, but its the best thing that I can do since my country doesn't allow toys nor allows importing.

If it safe to use the silicone, do I use the glue gun, or find another way to melt them quickly. cause im sure the glue gun takes a lot of time to squeeze the whole stick, and by the time im done, it would have dried and harden already.

If the silicone glue stick a bad idea, then where I can get silicone? If i can't get any, what other materials should i use instead?

I don't think this would be wise, I'm not sure what else is in there or if it'll work the way you want it to. The kind of silicone that a hobbyist could use would be platinum-cured RTV silicone but I'm not sure that "mold making" sites would sell something that has been tested as body-safe. If you can find food grade, that would be okay.

Short answer: Nopenopenope. Chances are, the hardware stuff you've found that doesn't get affected by water isn't pure silicone. I'd be pretty wary about putting that stuff in a human body.

Longer answer: I've done some research myself and I've considered using the 100% silicone labeled "safe for aquariums" / "safe for food". If you can find that, maybe you'll be ok?

However, I haven't had any luck getting it to dry all the way through and I'm kinda concerned that it might still be giving off toxic chemical as it dries. (It definitely smelled pretty bad.)

An alternative: I've used hot glue to build toys (hardens pretty quickly and it's relatively cheap) and I've been ok. That said, I was young, dumb, and cheap. I haven't done any additional research to see if I might have increased my chances for cancer as a result of being horny.

Here's, have a random link: http://spankingart.org/wiki/Make_your_own_butt_plug_tutorial

You should look for medical-grade platinum-cured silicone. Something like this. I'd recommend the 30A hardness. You can find this on Amazon.

I'd also recommend using alginate to make your mold. It is used to make dental molds because it is accurate, safe and pretty easy to use.

If you want to make a mold of your wang, buy a wang mold kit. theyre out there. Im not sure what your countries restrictions are on that, but i figured i would mention it just in case it falls between any legal cracks.

As for making silicone toys, its entirely possible, however you are way way off with you methods here. Making silicone toys has got more to it than just jamming your junk into some play-dough and pouring some silicone related product in. Also, body safe silicone is somewhat expensive, despite that you do not want to use silicone from a glue stick. Pleeeassee dont.

I hate to rain on your parade here with this, I have just heard too many stories with makeshift dongs ending poorly. If you would like more of an idea on the process of making safe silicone toys, here is a good guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sD6yYpk40xcu4MB0JOg6dzwwSy6URz_cm8upq0BHmL8/edit?pli=1 The guide also lists the best place to get body safe silicone!

Also! Just to make sure, if you do happen to put something together in the future, make sure it has an adequate base to prevent it from...getting lost in there lol. All anal toys need bases!

Also u/fakedyfakefake Is on point with their recommendation in materials!

Learn to make body molds, start with someone elses hand, and not your dick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDPc8ckbCq0 http://www.smooth-on.com/Lifecasting/c1240/index.html

You can buy stuff from hobby shops, but you might need larger quantities if you're planning to make a lot. So you'll have to buy in bulk.

Are you seriously planning to use bathroom caulk to make a toy and shove it into your ass? Even with a condom, that's a bad idea.

Also, can I ask what country you live in and would something that is maybe glass or metal that looks nothing like a sex toy be okay to get shipped, if it was done right?

OMG NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO god no

use this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sD6yYpk40xcu4MB0JOg6dzwwSy6URz_cm8upq0BHmL8/edit?pli=1

or buy one of these[if you can, since you country might not allow it]: http://cloneawilly.com/

PLEASE don't stick melted glue stick cast from a play-dough mold in your ass @_@; this is a Very Bad idea

note that the first method can get EXPENSIVE: like, business investment-level expensive... the second is aimed towards people that just want something simple, quick, and affordable that's still safe!!

Did you ever end up making any? This is something I've been interested in for some time and would be really interested in finding out how this went.
