It all started with the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. You know, something that’s thoughtful, a little bit cheeky, and definitely memorable. Flowers? Too cliché. Chocolates? They disappear in a day. Then I stumbled upon something that promised to be truly one-of-a-kind: the Clone-A-Willy kit. A DIY kit that lets you make an exact replica of… well, you know. It sounded like the ultimate mix of fun and flirty, so I went for it. Plus, I realized, this could even be considered a form of sexual fetishism—the idea of creating and enjoying a custom-made replica as a playful or intimate keepsake. I thought, “How hard can it be?”
Spoiler alert: a bit harder than I expected. But hey, I’m here to share the ups, the downs, and the lessons learned along the way. If you’re curious about how this thing works (or if you just want a good laugh), keep reading. Let’s dive into the art of cloning, DIY-style.
The Unboxing: What’s Inside the Clone-A-Willy Kit?
When the box arrived, my partner and I were like kids on Christmas morning—giddy and a little nervous. Opening the Clone-A-Willy kit, we found:
- A large plastic tube for making the mold
- A packet of molding powder (aka the special Clone-A-Willy powder)
- Silicone mix for creating the actual replica
- A mini vibrator (because why not add a little extra buzz to your new creation?)
- Stir sticks, a thermometer, and detailed instructions
It looked simple enough. But you know that feeling when you’re about to follow a recipe for the first time, and you’re pretty sure you’ll end up with flour all over the kitchen? That’s exactly how we felt. Little did we know, this was going to be an adventure.
Step-By-Step: How to Use the Clone-A-Willy Kit (And What to Watch Out For)
Here’s the process, step by step, with a few pointers from someone who’s learned the hard way:
STEP 1 : Get Everything Ready Before You Start
- Trust me, the key here is prep. Set out all the supplies, have your water at the right temperature (around 98°F), and make sure your subject is ready (I’ll leave the interpretation of that up to you).
- You only have a few minutes to get everything into the mold, so time is of the essence. The first time we tried, we were too casual, and let’s just say the mixture was halfway set before we even started pouring.
STEP 2: Mix the Clone-A-Willy Powder with Water
- This is where the magic—or disaster—happens. Mix the Clone-A-Willy powder with warm water in a large bowl and stir like your life depends on it (because it kind of does). If the water is too hot, the mixture will set before you can even pour it. Too cold, and it’ll be a clumpy mess.
- Pro Tip: Aim for the consistency of pancake batter. It’s thick, but not too thick, and you have about 2 minutes to pour it into the tube before it starts setting. The first time we did this, it turned into a weird, lumpy paste. Rookie mistake.
STEP 3: Pour into the Tube and Get Ready to Mold
- Once the mixture is ready, pour it into the provided tube. Then, quickly, get your subject into position. You have to hold steady for a couple of minutes until the mold sets. Trust me, it’s more challenging than it sounds—think awkward balancing act.
- Our first try? Total disaster. We didn’t hold the tube steady enough, and the mold turned into some weird, Picasso-like shape. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
STEP4: Mix and Pour the Silicone
- Once you have a decent mold, mix the silicone according to the instructions. Stir it thoroughly to make sure there are no air bubbles, then pour it slowly into the mold. Insert the mini vibrator if you want your creation to have a little extra kick.
- This part is easier but requires patience. Let the silicone set for 24 hours. We were tempted to peek before then, but trust me, waiting makes all the difference.
STEP 5: The Big Reveal
- After what felt like the longest 24 hours ever, we finally pulled the silicone out of the mold. And… success! Unlike our first attempt, this one actually looked like what it was supposed to resemble. Detailed, smooth, and pretty darn accurate.
My First Time Was a Disaster (But the Second Time Was a Hit)
Now, let’s talk about my first attempt—because it was an absolute mess. I went in all confident, thinking, “I’ve got this.” But between the too-hot water, the clumpy mixture, and the half-solid mold that ended up looking like some avant-garde sculpture, we were left with nothing but a ruined batch and a lot of laughs.
So what went wrong?
- Water Too Hot: The Clone-A-Willy powder needs warm water, but mine was practically boiling. The result? A mix that solidified before it even touched the tube.
- Rushing the Process: Trying to pour the mix while fumbling with the tube is a recipe for disaster. When they say prep is key, they’re not kidding.
- Not Keeping the Tube Steady: The mold came out lopsided because we didn’t hold the tube still while the mixture set.
But the second time? We took our time, followed the instructions to the letter, and got it just right. The end result was a perfect, realistic replica that we both got a kick out of.
So, Is Clone-A-Willy Easy to Use?
Here’s my honest take: Clone-A-Willy is definitely not as easy as it looks, but it’s not impossible either. It’s one of those things where practice makes perfect, and the process is actually pretty fun—especially if you go into it with a sense of humor and a willingness to make a mess.
The Clone-A-Willy powder can be a little finicky, but as long as you keep the water temperature right and work quickly, you’ll be golden. The hardest part is definitely making the mold. But once that’s done, mixing the silicone and letting it set is a breeze.
