Re: Small Little Holes on Hands
The TPE repair thread discusses using heat to soften the TPE, something like that may be better repaired chemically or disregarded if it isn't too horrendous.

I used a heat gun to repair a hole on her wrist but fingers with a heat gun I found was a little harder to work with as it easier to melt if not careful.

You may be able to steal some TPE from inside the neck like I did and dissolve it in acetone to make a filler but experiment on a hidden spot or another piece of TPE first.

That's a really good idea, maybe apply the solvent with a makeup sponge or Q-tip. Still better to test inside the neck first.nicvncnt wrote:My approach is to gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dipped in white spirit then leave overnight to dry.
