Yup. Left a wig on Brynn for a few days and didn't realize one of the black straps was resting on her ear. Now she has a "tattoo".digitaldavid wrote:What happens is once the ink bleeds too deep into the TPE, it's very difficult to remove with any chemical without damaging it. The chemical basically needs to be in contact with the ink to remove it.
OMS did not work for me.
No real big. More annoyed with myself than anything. I should have known better.

Same here, once its been left for a while, i left the country for a week ,came back after new years and despite several attempts with either baking soda mix idea off this site, or 'mineral spirits' or paint thinner, zero improvement.Doc Brown wrote:Yup.

Odorless mineral spirits may not be had by the public, but we get it as a paint mfg company by the 55 gal drum.

Re: How To Remove TPE Stains in less than 10 seconds
see the spots on the arm and leg... it sucks... gotta change the lighting for photos... and take of my glasses if i dont want to see various shading of skin colour...
I also have a spot under the breast that wont colour either since i place a warm towel over a crease on her breast that came with the doll and has never left with the warm towel technique the distributor claims works.. to bad..
I hope the next surface they come up with is better...

Thanks for this post! I haven't tried this yet, but will. I stupidly put a black dress on my doll and it stained her thighs just a bit. We'll see if the mineral spirits do the trick. Thanks again.

Any hints/tips appreciated.
I know i can apply perfume to clothing ok, but the tpe skin itself still smells of the white spirit.

Thanks fo rthe info carlys_guy. Do you refer to baking soda on it's own in powder form or in the toothpaste method that was mentioned also ?carlys_guy wrote:be very careful using baking soda on your doll it will scratch the surface giving mold a easier place to grow and weaken the tpe so it may tear easier.
