Major Sticky TPE after heat repair

Post by Chuck Norris »

I just redid the bottom of the feet of my woman last night.
It is a AS.
I used a heat gun,temp sensor and soldering iron and lots of baby oil lol!
Soldering iron was set @ 250 C
I fix her feet problem but now her TPE is super sticky.
I thought at first it was because it needed to cool down and dry off but it has been 24 hrs now and it is still sticky.
I cant put socks on her or anything just in case the TPE sticks on the socks.
Did I use too much heat to redo the feet and the TPE molecule changed?

TPE is always tacky but this one is super sticky..... A fly would land on her feet and would not be able to take off again lol! (Maybe exaggerating a lil) but still

Anyone experience this?

Yeah, whenever I've done heat work and been using baby oil like that, when I'm done I leave the area for an hour or two then give it a liberal sprinkling of powder and it's usually ok.
