I just wondering what everyone's preffered messy substance temperature as I plan to get messy soon n would like some advice on what temperature I should make the custard
Err, not too hot, but not too cold?! Or am I oversimplifying this!
Seriously, though, warm it until its comfortable to stick a finger in. Make sure its stirred well - had a nasty experience with porridge in the past which had cooled on the outside but was still uncomfortably hot within. Takes ages to cool, does porridge. And I wouldn't use it cold, unless some sort of cold play is part of what you're trying to achieve.
jaykain - I assume you MEANT to say "Just BELOW scalding hot"... as "Just above scalding hot " would give someone a scald if it was pure water... once you start having dairy products (like custard does) then you'd potentially start to go as far as a burn... and the damage would continue until all the hot custard was removed! If you submerged in cold water then it would cool, but custard would trap heat near skin... if you tried to rinse with too much vigour, then you could do further damage to the skin from the force of the water!
Bex - IFyou want warm custard, then I would suggest that you have it a little over room temp - so 25-30 degrees C should be fine... but personally I would advise that you use cold custard (over night in a fridge or a few hours in the freezer), on the grounds that it has a wonderful hardening effect on a girl's nipples :devil: Getting custard in cartons (eg Ambrosia or "own brand") makes life very simple, you can either throw the packs in the fridge / freezer until needed (or take out and heat slightly if you insist on it being warm), but you don't have to wait hours until it's cool enough to be safe like you would if you made a large volume from custard powder at home.
Hope this helps - please feel free to post pictures of the results if you feel comfortable
