Hi Coeros!
I would visit some factories by you and ask them if you could watch them repair them. My experience comes from seeing some factory vids of repairs and that's how I learned.

Hi Coeros!
Do you plan to visit the factory with us in the future? That's cool. Last year we also visited some factories repairing dolls, and their tools looked very large and professional.Mishka1965 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 10:46 amHi Coeros!

I know FANTASTIC PLASTIC makes the tools. I would ask him.Technician wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 6:25 pm Does anyone have any leads on heated shaping tools? I have considered making my own by forming heads from sheet steel and welding to a bolt that's the same thread as a soldering iron tip.
Naturally I'd rather just get a professional type tool resembling a spoon.
I think I figured it out, but have yet to test. I'm going to try drawer knobs, threaded with a small piece into a soldering iron. If that falls, which I assume it will due to the large surface area of the knob wicking heat away, I'll try a drawer knob on a handle and just heat it with my hot gun.Mishka1965 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2023 11:27 amI know FANTASTIC PLASTIC makes the tools.
