Re: Sleeping beauty and her 1st wrist surgery
Frankly, it is as simply as ABC (to me) Yes, it took about one and a half hours, of course include photography.Nicefellow wrote:Amazing work! So in short; I would cut open, clean out glue filler, reshape bent tube, find and take out bad springy, put in new springy, apply new silicone to hold everything in place, then close up hole with TPE glue. Sounds simple but I bet it took hours to do. Thank you for documenting this for us. Hopefully the vender is letting the manufacturer know of the weak points so that more durable materials can be used in future upgrades of the doll.
"Weak points of wrist"? - I don't blame mfr for this. I had tried sourcing other material to replace for better durability but none closed to its softness, easily bendable and its real feeling. Like I said, what we need to do is to bend her arms to abdomen whenever lifting our doll from bed and it should be ok.
Ankle problem: because the frame rod is virtually at 90deg to feet wires on standing position with full body weight of 25kgs pressured, plus friction in moving/repositioning our doll at this posting, it will break over a period of time. I had forward these photos to mfr and they had promised to looking into this matter seriously. Modification by bending end of rod forward ,slightly, to provide a smoother contact is proposed and their production mgr had accepted the idea. Meanwhile they are looking for other options too.

Thanks man,Obin wrote:You are an amazing surgeon, for sure. I agree, that your repair posts demonstrate that repairs are doable. Ever since the TPE dolls have been introduced here, that issue has been stated as a concern, and your work sets that concern to rest.
Thank you, for the terrific, well written instructions.
I didn't know that fellow members concerned on this issue.
To me, it just a challenge and fun work and I just couldn't accept her having broken wrist and ankle even if I am going to sell. Well, just to the benefit of whoever the new owner He might not be as handy as I am

Re: Sleeping beauty and her 1st wrist surgery
A really great job on two successful surgeries on a beautiful lady.
Re: Sleeping beauty and her 1st wrist surgery
Oh, I think you are referring to the gentleman appears at ElEncabronado's thread. I have seen the pics of the broken joint and to my opinion, if he applied strong bonding glue, covered with a fabricated metal sheath followed by applying small amount of ceramic plastic metal might do the job well instead of ripping off the doll.Toruf wrote:There's a whole thread on here from another TPE doll n owner who had some skeletal issues. Basically some members here purchased a 3rd hand TPE doll that suffered a catastrophic hip failure. He ripped off all the skin to expose a rather shoddy skeletal system. It then basically devolved into a "ALL TPE dolls are inferior Chinese crap" thread. Clearly, his doll had issues. But not all dolls will fail nor are TPE dolls non-repairable. You've certainly demonstrated just the opposite.

By the way, thanks for yr badge, I'm honored

Are you a Doctor or a mechanic by profession? Very nice work.
Question: Does the "nail glue" that you used to keep her eyes closed affect her eye balls?

No, I took them out prior gluing. Before I sold my doll, I reopened her eyes, insert back the eye balls, replaced with new eye lashes. As good as new!

Re: Sleeping beauty and her 1st wrist surgery
At least now I know that repairs are somewhat possible, because im guessing most dolls that are "used" a bit, would damage at some point...
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Sleeping beauty and her 1st wrist surgery
Are you asking about sealing the vaginal tunnel. I have to find that thread and bump it.thelionking wrote:One question though. I thought silicone was not compatible with TPE and one reacts harshly to the other? I guess that is not true?
I don't know about silicone caulk, but there are nitrile sealants that should work just as well, I imagine.
This does bond to TPE. In my experiment, it didn't bond well enough for my purpose, but it did bond the pieces. I found where the type of silicone is suggested.
