I bought a 140 cm. doll last year. The wire armatures in the fingers have poked through several times. Also, one of the fingers has torn slightly. I noticed that several people have modified/ enhanced their dolls and also mention repairing the TPE of the dolls. I want to know which glue works the best for repairing the dolls?
I already managed to glue one of the eyelashes back on using a liquid cement for ABS plastic, but it doesn't seem to work on the finger. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations. The glue that I used is made by Plastruct, but I can only get the orange label of glue. I just want to keep my girl with ten fingers if at all possible. Thanks!
I have used Lock tite gel or liquid with great results. I would put a tiny amount usually with the tip of a toothpick and carefully wipe the inside layer of the piece i wanted to bond and then quickly press them together. clean seams with no residue or buildup. the key is using a very tiny amount. that’s why i found out a toothpick is best or you end up having crystalization of the surface and it looks like shit. It will bond the tpe without ruining it or melting it and it never will come apart at the point of seal.
