I thought it would be fun to make my wife a present, a little piece of me (well - not _that_ little :)), that could be available to her when I’m not. I have figured out a suitable mold making material (we used [this](http://www.craftsetc.com/Store/ShowProduct.aspx?p=979807) to to mold children’s hands pretty succesfully). What I need is a safe product to pour into that mold. It’d be nice to have the option for a flexible or rigid material. It, of course, would have to be able to handle being wet, not flake or crack, be non-irritating and, of course, non-toxic. The same craft place sells [this](http://www.craftsetc.com/Store/ShowProduct.aspx?p=30452) but there’s not mention of it’s suitability. Something silicone-based would be nice. For rigid material, I haven’t many ideas. Ideas anyone? ---

I thought they made kits for precisely this purpose. I’m at work, so I can’t search for it, but any good search engine ought to find it. ---

There are sex toy shops and websites that sell kits for such things already put together. I have seen them offering either rubber or silicone material to make them with. I believe the rigidity of the finished product is standard for ready-made products of the same material. ---

Good Vibrations has a silicone kit. I don’t know if I’m supposed to link it from here, but search for “your cast member.” The [Stockroom.com](http://Stockroom.com) has (or had) a kit to make one from rubber, but I can’t access their site right now for some reason. ---

Word to the wise - be careful not to trap any hairs when you’re casting your Instmold. Strategically placed sandwich wrap or similar might be an idea. ---

When mine first grew, naturally I had to immortalize it in plaster. I had some stuff that you mix with warm water to make the mold. Armed with a playboy I mixed the stuff up, plunged in my member and struggled to maintain my erection while the mold set. It was my first taste of plunging my member into a warm, soft, moist, place that tightens and squeezes said member. What’s this strange queasy feeling? UH!! Needless to say I had trouble maintaining my erection, but not for lack of stimulation. I gave up after a couple of times. I had better things to do! So, have fun. I imagine the hard part will be maintaining your poise while the mold sets. Make sure you get enough supplies for more than one take. You may need a fluffer. Or not. ---

> [@Fear Itself](#): > > That’s because it doesn’t include the silicone rubber needed to make a true dildo. It comes with wax to make a candle, and “instructions” on how to cast in silicone rubber: I do believe, though, that it says it has information about where to get the silicone for about $15, so that’s still cheaper than the other one. ---
