Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
I never thought about using a balloon. Is that silicone you are using? You might want to look into the silicone cornstarch mix. The mix cuts down on the drying time of the silicone to hours.

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
It is straight silicone. I'm okay with the longer drying time because I think the silicone alone gives a more flexible finished product.
Here are the next set of pics in my "HOW TO " thread !!
Let me know what you think, ALSO don't rush it, let the silicone cure at least 24 hours before removing the wax paper, then another 24 hours before removing the balloon, and another 48 hours after you remove the balloon.

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
You can also use a mixture or Dawn dish washing soap (or equivalent) and water to smooth the outside of the silicone. It will help speed up the cure. I use lots of soap to get the exterior smooth or at least smoother.

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
Well done.
Only thing to watch out for is to use a 100% silicon or a fish tank silicon.
Some silicons or most give off gases and or chemicals to help cure witch could affect sensitive skin.
Spraying with water will help silicon cure faster as silicon adsorbs moisture out of the air to cure as well.

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
Thanks again for taking time to post your method. I think i will just use the two part high quality silicone that is safe to use on skin but do all the other molding method you have, but just pour on the high grade and form it in one go if i can.
It may take a lot of hustling of tending to the silicone ,keeping it from running out of bounds, until it sets enough.
I will let ya know how it goes and i will try and make a series of pics as i go also.

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
Is there a way to make a removable/butterfly opening seal? I have an idea in mind to make a cylinder out of a bucket. But I have to make a custom seal for the size conversion. My mindset is to have it fitted to the buckets upper ring so it kind of sits into it like the STJ seal. But for the bigger people that infuse/inflate and pump, to have the seal open up and close like the Monster Sr/Jr. idk if it’d be possible with the silicon idea though :T

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
It can't hurt to try ! The silicone seal is not perfect, I've redone it about five or six times now. I also would love to make it from the same silicone that Pump Toys uses on there Bullmaster Tube. That silicone is so nice and soft. The problem I had using the Bullmaster I had a lot of pain getting the seal off my balls after pumping. I'm getting great results in my home made 5 X 10 and 6 X 10 and now I can slide right out !

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
Nice! Yeah I have issues too sometimes with getting the stj seal off my balls lol. When they get big enough just right, it’s like try to stretch the seal as wide as your can and slowly pull down. And when you feel your at the point, just slip it out xD but it’s all good. My concern with using the silicone that you use is if it’ll be sturdy enough to open and close. Like I have the wing nut idea and such. But idk if it’d be tough enough but soft enough for the cushioning and such. I’ll probably look into at some point when I have the time and privacy to try it xDpumpman12 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 2:25 pm It can't hurt to try !

Re: HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE SEAL
It took me a while to find this thread. Many people ask me about the home made seal and this is basically how I did it.
I’ve used the water with dishwasher detergent method to smooth out the outside of the seal.
Good luck if you try this and don’t RUSH it !
