Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's back to work we go...

I've taken a lot of time off from working on the fiberglass belt and it's time to get back on the bicycle.

There have been a lot of things going on in Real Life that I'm not at liberty to discuss, but safe to say they're largely out of the way now, so I can get back to things that are really important. ;-)

Back when I took that fiberglass cast of my waist, I wrapped the casting tape around my penis to see how that would work. Well, it didn't work too well, because my penis was very squishy at the time, and the result was not much of a shape. But I did get a rough cast of my soft penis.

Later on after the cast had been taken off, I lined the rough cast of my penis with saran wrap and poured silicone mould maker in, hoping that would result in a better shape that I could use later on. It didn't. It resulted in a very rough shape after I demoulded it from the saran wrap, but at least I had a rough model of my penis to work with. The model went into a drawer for at least 4 months until it came back out tonight.

I've used modelling clay to sculpt a smooth version of the rough model, using the rough model for measurements and eyeball estimates. I've had some sculpting tools sitting around for a while, and those came in handy to scrape the excess clay and to make the clay model roughly symmetrical.

Thickened silicone has been poured over the model and I'm waiting for it to cure.

The Plan:
1) Next I'm going to "paint" the inside surface of the mould with silicone to make a smooth surface.
2) Then resin will be poured inside to make a hard model which will be set aside in case something goes wrong.
3) Then the mould will be cleaned with denatured alcohol to remove any oils
4) and mould release applied to the surface.
5) Then I'm going to make a silicone version of the model that will be used to make the final prototype.

The rear cable on my Neosteel Male Sports belt broke while I was wearing it today, and I am saddened. Not surprised, just saddened. That cable was repaired by the previous owner, who obviously didn't have the proper tools. It's held up remarkably well, but today was it just gave up the ghost. Inquiries have been made to all vendors for estimates.

The tube and plug from Thomas were not up to my expectations. I blame myself for not giving specific-enough instructions and making sure that he understood them. Having been a computer programmer for 17 years I know that's exactly where things went wrong.

The tube was of the correct diameter, enough to prevent my penis from expanding, but it was way too long. Easy enough to fix by cutting off excess tube. That's strange because I sent him the entire chastity belt in order for him to understand how to make the new tube. Perhaps he doesn't understand how Neosteel belts work.

The plug was truly disappointing. while of the correct diameter, was not rounded at both ends like the Tollyboy plugs that I was hoping to emulate. It didn't even look like a shiny clear Bill Jones plug that he advertises on his website. And the stem, pfft. Not the 2 inches that I'd written him to make.

I've mailed both back to him with instructions for modification. Hopefully he'll get them right this time. Other than the pin on the plug they shouldn't require any new materials to modify.

I'm sitting here in my Neosteel hip belt. It feels good but tight. I noticed tightness in this pair of jeans I was wearing yesterday too. I've definitely put on some inches and need to start exercising or being more active!!!

The application of aquarium sealant to this belt went very well. That silicone liner is stuck onto the belt very solidly. There's a lot of excess sealant that went all over the liner that I now can't remove for fear of damaging the liner or scratching the steel's finish. Ah well. The stainless steel's beautiful shininess is still there. I gotta remember to cover the liner with masking tape if I ever have to do this again.

I ordered a custom leather bra from Lux Tenebrae all the way in England that should be arriving soon. They're the only outfit that I can find on the web that makes custom full bras out of leather, so they deserve a plug here. And I do mean full bras. I don't need the variety that shows any cleavage because they won't cover my medical breast forms. I'm definitely not over the crossdressing thing yet. Nobody that I've ever met ever does!
