This is a rehash of some existing silicone lube recipes, but with more of a focus on EU ingredient suppliers, and, well, proper units. The end product is basically indistinguishable from the ‘Mr B Glide’ silicone lube I’ve been using for general latex donning, shine, and fun. The net cost will be over half of …
Although life moves on, I didn’t want some of the lovely rope tutorials I did for my old company to be lost forever so I’ve imported them into this blog and you can find them all under the tutorials category. Hopefully I’ll do some more too :)

First of all, let me just say that I’m not a shit-hot-rope-top, as the fabulous Midori says.
