Re: Glue
Sorry to hear that, it does still require a degree of skill to use effectively but pure Xylene would be much harder to use. It works best on splits, using just a tiny amount carefully brushed onto the surface to be bonded and can also be used to make a paste when mixed with tiny pieces of tpe. I would recommend checking out threads by members Wheezer and Rev Jack who have developed significant skills in this area and come up with some inventive uses of 3M Primer 94.dalehandyman wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 3:38 am I have tried that 3m primer94 but felt it caused more damage than it resolved!

Re: Glue
Absolutely, the paste you get works very well providing you get the mix right. So you will need a small glass jar, I found some around 1.5" in diameter, that have a tight lid, then you take a small piece of tpe and keep cutting it into smaller and smaller pieces with some sharp scissors until you basically have some tpe 'shavings' which you put into the jar/bottle. Then simply start dropping a small amount of the primer onto the tpe and stir it with a cocktail stick or something similar. If you end up with it being too thin then add more tpe, stir well then leave over night. Check and If it seems too thick then add a little more Primer, you want a paste that does flow but is thickish, it can take a bit of trial and error to get it right, also if it's too thick it won't adhere so well. If you get it right then the paste will Do a good job, I used it to fill a hole in an ankle on one of my gals and it's still good 3 years on.dalehandyman wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 2:54 am Thanks, I still have a new bottle here, and if there nothing better i will give it a go again! Do you also make a past with it, i.e dissolve some tpe in a bottle with 3M Primer 94?

Re: Glue
Yeah, I doubt I would try using it in a location like that which is going to be subjected to a lot of stress. I did do a successful repair around the groin of my very first doll but I used a combination hot air, soldering iron and melting tiny pieces of tpe directly into the area to be filled as per Mishka's repair tutorial.dalehandyman wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 4:35 am That is what i tried inbetween the love holes, but didn't last very long, tore straight away. So on the hand that i cut with scissors it seamed to hold. So wasn't convinced with 3m primer94.
