Despite my best efforts to keep my doll clean, her clothing left a stain on her arm, hips, and part of her back. I have seen the expensive little white pots of stain remover. Is there another way to remove stains from the dolls without the expensive creams? I have seen a video where an odorless paint thinner is used to remove permanent marker. Is this legitimate or are all of the paint thinners and removers too dangerous to use on TPE?

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!
