BCD & Indigo, thank you for both of your responses. The doll in question is a WM140, which is the last generation TPE, and as such, is very soft material. This material doesn't seem to be as tough as the current generation. I've already repaired the slight tear that her vagina has suffered, but the enormous stretching that the area endures when removing & re-installing the insert has caused it to re-tear, even though I've been very careful. I also didn't know about the oiling procedure until recently, which only added to the problem from that area drying out. I have since been using the Vaseline & baby oil, but the damage is already done. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to get a pic of the damage yet.
It seems like your product is more for replacing a missing piece of material, then smoothing, but I do understand what you're saying about the added material taking stress off of the repair. Either way though, it will become stressed when it is stretched for removal & insertion of the insert. I also know what you're saying about the fusing that happens from the factory glue causing some material to be dissolved, only adding to stress of the repair. I look forward to seeing your completed manual with regard to this type of repair, to better evaluate what my best course of action is.
