Hmm, I've never heard of a homemade version! I assume commercial Magic Shell uses some sort of chemical help.

Ah no, in this case our boys will be using a more traditional silicone version. I have written (oh the shame) a dream wherein the... mounts... are part of the carved saddles, but they're made appropriately smooth and sleek by the layers of paint/gloss used on the carousel horses. So you know, comparable to a hard plastic or glass dildo in that case, which shouldn't be "ow".

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! It means a lot to me to see people enjoying this :)
