I don't know how this is possible, but I found a small cut. Yet I am very careful, strange. I wanted to know the name of that cream that is used to repair cuts. Thank you :glou: :glou:

Most important, is this a TPE doll or a silicone doll.

For silicone, often sil-poxy is used.

For TPE, there is no actual glue, but often solvent based on toluene is used. Be careful.

It is TPE. Ah ok thank you. I'm thinking of using a pinch of liquid glue. But very little: less than a drop.

You can also use a smear of super glue applied with a cocktail stick or a coffee stirer. The repair area will be a bit hard to the touch. But it will be a neat and permanent repair, done in 15 seconds I often use it on areas that don't come in contact with my skin. Just clean the area with a dab of 70%isopropyl to make sure there's no dirt or excess oil from the type to stop it working
People ask me if I'm all right?
I plainly tell them, "I'm half left, actually."

I've been using 3M 94 Primer as a TPE glue for several years with good results.
Seems to work well. Great for small, clean cuts.
Cheers!

I’ll second the 3m 94 primer for TPE.

It won’t be hard like superglue, and will still be pliable once cured.
