Re: Tpe ball repair and sealing of backside
You can't just go buy some silicone somewhere because it most likely will not work.
You need TPE solvent and spare TPE to melt to repair.
Silicone only works on silicone dolls and TPE only works on TPE dolls.
Do a search on this type of repair using the search function here.
Grimreefer may be able to help you.

NO, you cannot just hop on down to your local HomeDepot and pick up a bottle of silicone. Number one solvent is used like MEK which will melt the TPE so it will fuse back together (not my preferred method).
Depending upon the injury I use either a soldering iron or heat gun.
Look on YouTube for Mishka Valentino's repair videos...
