Hi

Where do I get the indigos stain remover from ?
I’m based in the uk

Thank you

Revisiting an old thread due to staining and forum search, so is the klean strip mineral spirits not needed? The stain remover seems to do the trick. Do you wash or oil or powder after that?

I'm done within that discussion.

Oh, I just forgot to mention.
I'm a registered sole trader and my registered business includes creating and selling synthetics, solvents and chemicals in general.
After looking at all the doll websites and looking at their care instructions, NONE of them say anything about applying mineral oil on a monthly basis. Now, if the dolls needed oiling, wouldn't the manufacturers of TPE love dolls know and advise accordingly?

Greetings.
Its actually pretty easy.
Get yourself a new Jinsan-TPE doll.
From the moment of unpacking it, you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for the left side of the doll, leave out an inch or so in the middle as untreated and follow the instructions provided by Indigo for the right side of the doll ... including initial cleaning and such.
Make sure you move and stress both sides approximately equally over the life of the doll.
Take extended reviews after every three month, depicting the state visually and verbally.
In about a year or two the community will thank you for your effort and get a better idea of what is good for their dolls.

Over here we call it empirical evidence.

Kind regards.

I recently bought a used doll. She was sticky and had a fair amount of ground in dirt. Washing her did next to nothing. Using baby oil removed much of the dirt, and mineral spirits on some tough spots removed more. So at least they are good for cleaning.... i then powdered her and she now has smooth, life-like skin, much preferred over the sticky mess she was before. Some folks like that sticky feel, and that is cool. But i will take the oil and powder smooth, and as you say, since it doesnt hurt, why not do it? whether it makes the doll last longer, well i surely dont know, but it helps put the doll in a condition i like, so i am all for it.

That may be true to their TPE. But not for love doll TPE from Jinshan and other manufacturers.
However, i see no point in this discussion, and am done, too.

Sigh.

No?
This TPE mineral oil care thing is so new and uncommon, that you won't find any manufacturer who knows this AND would recommend it.
Unless he is a doll owner himself.
Nobody else would even think about this.

BTW: love doll TPE is completely different to industry-grade TPE.
There are many different flavors and the properties depend on each specific recipe.

These engineers have chemical and physics degrees; surely they would know.

I know this will cause debate, but hopefully a constructive one.

I contacted PolyOne in Illinois (USA) and inquired about TPE. http://www.polyone.com/products/thermop ... r/tpe-faqs

I was transferred to Mike in Atlanta GA (USA) and asked him about TPE, specifically TPE sex dolls and asked him whether the TPE sex dolls required monthly applications of mineral oil. Mike's response was, "It wouldn't hurt, but it wouldn't help." He went on to say he had never heard of customers making regular applications of mineral oil to TPE and doubted it had any benefit. He said the main enemy of TPE was heat and low humidity.

I also called S&E Specialty Polymers in Lunenberg, MA (USA) http://www.sespoly.com/products/tpe-the ... lastomers/
I spoke to an polymer engineer and inquired about TPE sex dolls. He said the dolls have a high concentration of mineral oil in their composition. He went on to say that the mineral oil in the TPE dolls does NOT dry out or leak out and that applying mineral oil to the doll would do nothing beneficial unless you wanted your doll to be slippery. He, as well as Mike, had never heard of applying mineral oil to TPE. When I asked him if it was beneficial, detrimental, or a waste of time to do so, he said "waste of time".

I have a third engineer I left a message with at RTP located in Winona, WI (USA) https://www.rtpcompany.com/products/elastomer/
I left a message inquring about the properties of TPE.

The reason I called these engineers is to get some feedback from engineers who are actually involved in the TPE manufacturing process/business. I understand there are variations on TPE formulations; however, my curiosity is such that I had to ask "outsiders" about the care we are providing our dolls.
