Title: Modding packers
Post by: mangoslayer on February 13, 2013, 11:27:24 AM
I know a lot of guys have modified the color of their packers, but I'm thinking about modifying the feel. I have a Mr. limpy that i bought to convert to an STP and never got around to it. Now that I have an RM basic packer, there's no way i could go back to packing with a mr limpy as it is right now. Now i'm thinking of messing around with it to make it more realistic.
I'd like to find a way to make a skin-like layer on it and 3d floating testicles. Some ideas i have:
Putting a condom over the shaft with a little bit of lube in it so it feels like skin, seal it somehow, then paint it with liquid latex or something to make it look like a dick again.
I haven't put much thought into this yet, but maybe i could put something ball-like in a balloon and attach that too the packer.

I have no idea how well this will work but it's better just having a dick chillin in my closet.

anyone else have any ideas?

I was literally just thinking about this over the past few days! We should collaborate once I sketch out my ideas.  I'll post here and on Tumblr as well for review :)

It's an interesting idea but how would you clean this? I think condoms are kind of intended for single use and tend to fall apart and break down anyway.

Just throwing in my two cents, as I have experience with mold making and casting, be very careful with all plastics and silicons in their liquid form. Always read and follow safety instructions. I was young and stupid when I started molding and casting for the first time and didn't realize that resin in it's liquid form will cause those who are exposed to it to become increasingly allergic to the chemicals in it. When I started I could touch resin in it's liquid form and be fine, now I have to wear a full face mask and two sets of gloves when I work with it. If I inhale the chemicals at all I break out in horrible rashes. If I had continued to expose myself, I would eventually need to carry an epipen and inform friends and family every time I worked with resin for fear that I would have a sever reaction and pass out or go into shock. There's a reason these things are done by experienced individuals or machines.

Also you need to keep in mind that many materials will not set if in the presence of latex. Some silicons have such vendettas against latex they won't set if you have a latex glove in the same room. It's also very costly.

That being said, molding and casting, IMO, is by far the most fun and enjoyable sculpting process and when treated with respect to the chemicals and your own body is a very rewarding skill to learn.

But again, please be careful. I'm always available by PM and can offer some knowledge on the subject of casting and molding if you ever need advice.

Just be careful with the condom...you can't use silicone lube with silicone packers...it will eat away at them!  Only use water-based lube.
