Safest way to remove factory eyelashes for TPE dolls?
For those that are using the eyelash holders that I'm making this would be good to know.
I'm not sure what adhesive is used by the factories. Super glue?
I've used acetone on my older TPE head but I'm not sure if this is the best or safest way to loosen the adhesive. Would mineral oil/spirits work for this?
Anyone else have experience with what works best?
Thanks in advance,
MF

Samara,
What process would you suggest to remove eyelashes from a TPE doll?
When people get MF eyelids for a doll already made, this is a vital step.
Love,

Hi there Nyoko. I like to apply some rubbing alcohol soaked into a pad place
just above and on the eyelash let set for a bit then look for a loose end.
You can then apply some baby oil and gently lift the eyelash with a tweezer
repeat ech step as needed. Do not rush to avoid damaging your doll.

.......and putting them back?

I use rtv 4500 silicone in a little tube. It is called sil-bond
I clean the area where the eyelashes would go with 50% iso rubbing alcohol,
clean the edge of the lash with acetoneb wait 15 minutes apply silicone to
the eyelid with a toothpick wipe of said toothpick and gently press the eyelash
in place. Have the eyes installed for this bit
