Hey Dolls Castle! What's the deal with the jaw? You showed it closed in your advertisements. Is there a trick to it that you need to tell Obi2Kanobi?

What are you guys using to melt the TPE? Did you make extruders? Doll TPE is not extruded, it is just hot poured. It must be heated slowly and evenly since it sucks in heat transferable. I use a small oven and a cast iron pot out in the workshop. A fellow tinkerer put a (used) full sized oven on hi...

I thought that her mouth could complely close. I remember seeing a manufacturor picture of it closed. It wasn't seamless of course, but it was close.
Can you close her mouth?

First thing you need to do is kill the mold. So flush her out with clorox bleach, let the bleach set for an hour or two then flush her out with water. Yeah, you have to dry her, so do what you need to. Aquarium air pump overnight always does it for me. While she is drying you need to source TPE and ...

I would go exercise ball covered in HYDROCAL. Hydrocal is a super hard super smooth cross between plaster and cement. Super smooth. One quick spray of thinned petroleum jelly and I cast TPE directly into it. It will hold skin texture so it works for nipples. Nipples is mostly what I use it for. Infl...

Spread thin on the surface, 12 hours tops, probably 8. And yes, it will stay Glossy unless you texture it (oil soaked sandpaper). Reverend Jack Thanks RevJack. Well obviously I didn't do something right. The repair I was making started making *holes* where I applied the TPE paste. I'm thinking I ha...

MIRACLE product!

You're welcome.

Anything with 10% benzoil peroxide. Apply it, let it sit overnight, wash it off, repeat.
There is tons of research on this on the site.

This is an excellent question and can be a really good thread. Some mini dolls have wire skeletons, some are jointed, head connectors differ, many variables. I would love to buy a mini doll but am afraid to get one that is poor quality. So all you experienced guys chime in, who is who's favorite? Ar...

Silicone molds and TPE molds are different. The technogy is different. They cant just pour scalding hot TPE into a mold designed for multiple cold pours of a catalyst based silicone. They would need to replicate the molds and then send those TPE/AK molds to the WM factory where they actually have po...

You have crazy-mad skills. I am amazed at how perfect that bunny is.

If you are experienced, and can do an excellent job fixing the tear, and then finish it professionally and return the paint to factory stock, definately fix it If not, then your "fix" may cause more damage and disfigurement than the original tear. I would leave it to the purchaser to resol...
