Re: DS Doll silicone repair
In this thread you can find how-to instructions to do repairs: http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 24#p802724Maxbama wrote:I had a wire poke thru on a finger, what should I use to repair it? How can I get it ? Can I just get something locally? How do I repair it before it gets worse?
Which materials you can use for repair varies a bit on your location; please contact your vendor for more information. Generally, the Permatex repair silicone mentioned by jiayi might not be easily available outside the UK. More easily accessible is Sil-Poxy by Smooth-on; they have distributors all over the world. In Germany, some silicone adhesives by Wacker Chemie might be easier to obtain.
Finger pokes in DS dolls are rather unusual because the finger wires are enclosed with caps, so I'm not entirely sure what pierced through the silicone in your doll. Maybe you can take a picture and show us the injury?
Thanks,
Sandro

Yes, we would love to know how exactly this happened too, so future DS buyers can properly evaluate if they want finger wires or not.DS Doll Europe wrote:....Maxbama wrote:I had a wire poke thru on a finger, what should I use to repair it?

And yes as others have said, the permatex window sealant comes highly recommended. I believe sil-poxy is slightly more 'manufacture' recommended and may be softer.
Either way, one HUGE tip: Use ABSOLUTE MINIMAL AMOUNTS of glue. You can always fix it again later if it opens up, you can't easily remove too much silicone.
Iv never heard anyone complain about using too little silicone in a repair causing issues. I have however seen some very unsightly repairs that look like someone used a caulking gun to remodel the bathroom and repaired their doll while they where at it.
