First, let’s get something straight… my skills are a 3 out of 10 at best!
I appreciate the respect you give me, but seriously… there are some true masters of re-sculpting TPE here on TDF. Most of everything I’ve learned about the subject has been interpreted from reading and experimenting with the techniques outlined in many different threads. Finding these threads is pretty easy if you search the “Repair” Forum.
That being said, none of the things I’ve run across relate directly to our Phicen dolls. The idea of essentially “branding” a vulva onto the dolls is intriguing. It certainly might work, but I’ve got no way to make such a branding iron.
The biggest issue I’ve encountered so far in re-working TPE is the very tiny temperature zone it responds to. It goes from firm to liquid to on fire in about 10 degrees. Vinyl, and many other plastics, will soften over a wide temperature range. This makes manipulating them more user friendly. If you read some of the TPE tutorials, they recommend using a laser temperature gun to insure your keeping the TPE in the correct zone.
But that’s on a doll SIX TIMES the size of the Minxes…
I’m counting on just getting lucky with the tiny lady jewels!
