How to repair wire of fingers poking through the tpe?
The finger tips have peeled badly in some places as well. Any idea how to repair this and also handle the peeling in a cost effective way?

Really surprised that this type of articulated finger is giving the pokes though
The only way to make TPE harder is to make a paste of firmer TPE with either the 3M product or Xylene, and coat the fingers
Wheezer did mention 3M 94 is good with most TPE blends but less so with harder stuff
New unexplored territory this is

Keep contacting whoever you bought the doll from.. This sounds like a casting or tpe quality issue and the doll needs to be replaced or your money refunded.TimesSeven wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 1:44 pm My doll is fresh out of the box -- less than a week old and I am having significant peeling of the fingertips. I've contacted the manufacturer because I noticed some of these during unboxing. Already had one finger poke moving her on the bed. I think I'll just have to buy gloves.
There are several fixes for finger pokes. First is make a cap for the tips of the fingers if there are not ones. This could be something as simple as wrapping a bit of tap around the end of the finger. The next is closing the hole where the finger poke happened because you are going to want to keep dirt and especially liquid from getting into the dolls body.. The best thing to use for this is TPE paste made with 3M 94 Tape Primer or Xylene and extra TPE.. If you look in my signature line there is the link to my channel and I show how to make paste and use it..
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me..
