Title: Dye/color your packer (awesome tutorial to make a cheap packer look great!)
Post by: Nygeel on November 22, 2012, 09:41:40 AM
Here is the link (http://toysfortransmen.tumblr.com/post/36054626438/how-to-recoloring-your-packer)

It seems that if you're able to do the basics of this sort of stuff that it could be worth it. And as a heads up if this isn't obvious...there are images of a pretty realistic looking packer on there.

Hehe. I actually wrote this.  It's kind of crazy to see it here...

If anyone has any questions, seriously, anything at all, you can message me  on here and I'll try and help.

I'm working like crazy (still) on finding a proper sealant...something relatively inexpensive, if possible.  Any ideas?


EDIT: I also tried the same technique on my Mr. Right packer...it worked pretty well, actually.  Of course, it all washed/wore off a lot faster, but I expected that.  It actually didn't come off as readily as I expected.  Just saying, it's worth it if you only have a silicone packer.

SO YOU'RE THE ONE!

For sealant: hairspray is often used for a cheap sealant for paintings. Maybe that will work?

I know you said that liquid latex and glues don't work, but would a couple of layers of silicone do the trick?  I got a tube of sanitary silicone for a few quid and I think it either might work... or melt it.

Hairspray...maybe! I've tried this FX spray which I doubt is much more than that, but it hasn't done much.  My mom has this extra-strength hairspray...I'll test a little on the back of the packer first, and then let you guys know how it goes.

Spirit gum...I tried that recently, since it's pretty much only resin, and no melting occurred.  It just had a strange texture and caused a weird color change when it came into contact with the makeup. 

Silicone sounds like a plan.  Again, it never hurts to test a tiny bit on the back of the packer, just to see if any melting occurs.  I've always wondered if silicone might work to seal something like the Mr. Right; it might be more compatible with that material. 

It'd be a lot easier to find a sealant I think if we could actually get a recipe for the Mr. Limpy.  I've yet to find what exactly fleshlight-brand cyber skin is made of.

I doubt if spirit gum would really become unsticky enough and some of the stuff mentioned might not be what you'd want down there, like hairspray.

I dyed my mr. limpy a while back. Just a warning, if you're light skinned, you're probably not going to get a pink one to match your skin tone. Mine came out realistic looking, but no where near my actual skin tone.
sorry i dont have any pictures, i got rid of the packer a while ago.

I did this, and it made my packer look FANTASTIC! It's a little difficult and can get messy but it helps a lot and boosts your self esteem seeing it against you looking so realistic.
