Acetone will remove the superglue. I've used it on my TPE girls. I haven't tested it on silicone, but I will. It likely will remove the paint. It's nail polish remover after all.

Platinum Silicone in Acetone. Let's see what happens.

Acetone is fine for silicone. It will take off the polish though.
To attach new nails use sil poxy instead of traditional glue.

1) why silpoxy? That stuff isn't cheap. Well not the kind I was told to buy for repairs.


2) What can I, or should I use to remove waterproof eyeliner from silicone? I read home remedies like baby oil and others, but idk.

3) Is it normal for the tpe or silicone material around the standing feet screws to begin shredding? It would appear my new Sanhui doll already has chunks missing around some of the adjustable screws. Not to mention most of the other ones, you have to break the silicone off of the screw to beable to even adjust it.

You can use rtv 4500 food grade silicone to attach the nail properly

Use waterbased on lube on silicone, use a microfiber cloth, wetnap or soft shammie

For this you can patch it with rtv silicone 4500. Clean the area with acetone before you apply the silicone for great adhesion.

It won't be affected by acetone. Platinum silicone can withstand temps of 500 ° Fahrenheit.

How would you go about removing the dried silpoxy & nails later on?

I also asked two other questions in my previous post, if anyone can answer those as well.

Acetone is fine on silicone but NOT on TPE! Acetone can be used to clean cuts/tears before repair on silicone as it removes any surface oils. Whether it will remove the fake nails paint is another matter! It depends on make and paint really! Be prepared to get a new set! Nail polish remover has acetone or similar in it but it also has other stuff so may not work as well anyway. Use a small paint brush to work the acetone under the nail and let it soak for a while. Don’t force any removal as the nail could tear the silicone underneath - just keep working the acetone in if there’s any resistance. What I would say is that what you’ve used is far too strong a glue for what’s needed for dolls! Just use a cheap nail glue and very small blobs!

As for the standing feet, I’m afraid this is common that the material around the screw holes becomes torn and a bit messy! This is the same for TPE and silicone ladies. The damage is usually done while repositioning her feet to get the right position to stand properly. Try not to slide her feet about while doing that!

Waterproof eyeliner can just about be removed with babyoil but don’t use a lot on silicone and wash it off afterwards. Wet wipes sometimes work too. You’ll probably need a lot of cotton wool or tissues and be careful not to work away from the eye or you may smudge colour away from the eye!

Cheers, Hollows.

Can I just soak the finger tips in it for a few minutes?

You probably can but be careful if the colour runs from the nail colour itself or it may colour the ends of the fingers! All you really want to do is soften the glue not melt it away!

Once you attach fake nails with silicone, its a done deal. To remove could cause damage.
You could still repaint the nails after using non acetone polish remover, but no attempt should be made to remove the nails once they are on and set.
