Re: TPE Repair for YLDOLL hand( hinged hand)
I have to say, for a product costing this much, I am a bit disappointed at this and feel like they (WM in my case) might as well have added a few dollars to have non-easy breakable fingers...
Because, as shown above, the current finger attachment is just flawed in so many ways. And it is really annoying having to be focused on the fingers all the time, because they are so tender, and even than breaking them for no appearant reason.

I have to say, bearing in mind the price of these love dolls, I am surprised the skeleton isn’t a bit more high quality.

Re: TPE Repair for YLDOLL hand( hinged hand)
Hi, the wrist bolt will have a nut that has been spot welded to keep it in place once the joint has been tightened during construction of the skeleton. So to tighten the joint you will have to cut the weld off first. I recently made a small incision in one of my gals elbows as I have the same problem, I was thinking of trying to wrap string around the bolt in the gap where it's loose and then wind bandage around the joint before resealing the tpe. That might just give it enough tension although I've no doubt it would work loose again with regular bending, ultimately to do the job properly will mean cutting off the weld and replacing the original nut with a locking nut.waspie wrote:Can i just ask here, the wrist of my doll's left hand is loose, will i have to cut into the tpe to find the nut and bolt and just tighten it ? Thanks

Thanks for the info Arthur, fortunately didn't need to do as much surgery, thankfully, and the tpe glue patched the small scar up nicely
