Now that we completed the molding of the belt we have to build the mold for the cup (since this is a male belt, I like to refer to it as a penis prison).
The prison build up.
Remembering that we are building each mold side by itself, we have decided to make the mold of the front of the cup first. The back of the cup is a bit tricky because of the penis tube and we have to visit that problem separately later. Utilizing clay we form it around the bottom edge of the front covering the areas we do not want to include in the mold. The way this device is shaped lends itself quite well to a box mold.
Registration again.
Again we need to make a registration mark around the entire device that will allow us to put the two halves back together again knowing that they are aligned.
Around the cup buckle
Dimple and trough registration as it goes around the belt buckle holder in the cup. All of the holes are sealed from one side with metalic tape to avoid having to match up front and back holes.
Framing it in.
We now build the box around the front side of the cup. This will allow us to fill this area with resin to create the front mold.
Cup front mold completed.
With the box completed we now spray the entire inside surface with a release agent so that none of what you see inside the box (including the wood itself) will stick to our resin mold.
A good stiff waxing.
As before with the belt mold waxing the cracks is extremely important to avoid leakage.
Cup mold is poured
Once complete we mix the resin and pour the front of the cup mold. This now will need to cure. Once cured, we can turn it over and begin to build the cup back side and penis tube.
Flipping the mold over and remove clay build up material
After allowing the mold to cure we now turn the box mold over and remove the clay that was used to build up the front side of the mold. Now you can clearly see the back side of the clay cup model and the registration marks left in the front mold piece.
Creating the penis tube.
We have created a little clay model that will be inserted into the penis tube. This clay model will create the negative space in the silicon that we will fill the penis tube with so that we can fill this with the resin from the pour of the back of the mold.
Filling the penis tube.
With our clay negative space object in place, we fill the penis tube with a flexible silicon solution that will take up the remaining space in the tube. This solution will take at least 5 hours to dry.
Back of mold negative space
We need clear access to the key holes in the cup area to insert key registers when the cast is being poured. With clay we build up the area on the back of the buckle (as we did in the front) to give us clear access in the final mold.
Completed key access area with registration.
The key access area when the mold is completed is shown here in the creation of the negative space required later.
Build-up complete with silicon insert ready
The build up for the key access areas is complete and you can clearly see the silicon insert in the penis tube. The hole will be filled in the creation of the back of the mold to give further registration.
Application of parting agent.
Again, we do not want to lock the clay model into our mold so we have to make sure that when poured, the new back of the mold will not stick to the front of the mold.Again, we do not want to lock the clay model into our mold so we have to make sure that when poured, the new back of the mold will not stick to the front of the mold.
Limiting resin requirements
We now build the box around the model limiting the amount of resin we need to pour in the back.
Pouring the mold back.
After a liberal application of wax and making sure all the holes and seams are filled we are able to pour the back of the mold.
As of November 30, 2009 this is as far as we have gotten. This page will be updated when the rest of the cup molding is completed (Dec. 7).
I think you could tag this as, “Why chastity belts aren’t cheap”!
It’s looking very splendid indeed.
I think part of the reason that we did this blog was to show how involved the production of a belt is. Now please realize folks that a large amount of what went on in the background was never translated to the site as it was boring and pictureless. Things like the choice of materials, test molds for this that and the other, and all the setbacks. As one sees the rapid development of the last few weeks they must realize that there was a period from March – November 2009 where it seemed as though nothing moved forward without taking 3 steps backwards.
Looks like a very interesting project. We look forward to seeing a finished production model and hope it is as secure as you say.
We’ll be happy to promote it on our site if it work at no charge.
Thanks Lemut. Our first prototype should be finished and pictures up on the site by Dec. 14th barring any real complications.
This mold you are building is for only one belt, how will you make different sized parts? Will you need to redo this creation of the mold for each of the different sized elements?
Looks really cool and your documenting of the process is facinating.

Yes shieldingmatrix we have to mold each belt until we have enough inventory and experience to be able to make them more efficiently. Thanks for your comment!
Very nice design. AM anxious to see the final product. Wondering what the rough price range would be.
Current production costs put the initial belt retail price at no more than 1,795.00 USD.
