: If you're really motivated you could mold your bum with plaster or
: paris. It's cheap at a paint store. It gets warm when it cures,
: but not so hot it would hurt you. When you're done you can sand
: it smooth and fair it out and spray it with lacquer or poly, wax
: it up, and you can make your female mold.

Over the years, I've heard lots of people mention this method. I had a friend try it, but I've never actually seen someone make a good one. Have you actually seen a seat made using this method?
