Fixing Silicone Tears???
Fixing Silicone Tears???
"Silicone is a thermoset plastic. Meaning, once it is created (the parts mixed) will become a set structure.
TPE is a thermoplastic. Meaning it melts and can be reformed."
Wonderful... great news, I'm suddenly... filled with joy. Not.
For years, I used a soldering iron to fix tpe tears. However, according to the wonderful intel I just discovered... if you attempt to use a soldering iron on silicone material, and try to meld the tear, it... won't... work
Now, does anyone have any idea of how to fix a silicone doll tear? I'm guessing silicone glue? And which kind would be the best?

Sil-Poxy is the go to for tears that don't come in contact with sensitive parts of you body
RTV sealant is somewhat more flexible and softer to the touch
Internal cavity repairs, keep as smooth as possible

Re: Fixing Silicone Tears???
Congratulations (condolences?) on the addition of silicone to your sex doll stable.
As you already found, TPE repair and silicone repair techniques are not the same.
There have been many posts on TDF about repairing silicone, but the one HERE (viewtopic.php?p=2431091#p2431091) should guide you in the right direction.
Good silicone sex doll repair adhesives choices (as of February 2024) appear to consist of either Permetex Flowable Windshield Adhesive, Sili-Poxy silicone Adhesive, and a "Silicone Doll Adhesive (Natural Skin Tone)" from an unknown Asian source and available on Amazon in the US. There may be more but those three that I would consider. Others may have more suggestions.
Each appears to have its own benefits and limitation as to how viscous it is and the softness of the cured bond.
That should get you started to figure out which would work for your application.
Cheers!
