A tap with a welder, loctite red, or a little JBWeld in the threads is needed.

Well hell....

The last I heard from Patrick he was planning to move to Spain, he had one last Spinner doll from his shop to sell. My impression is that he's out of the doll business and will focus on his bronze work.

I used a nylock nut on my doll's hip joint, no messing with adhesives, it was very tight going on, I'm hoping it stays in place.

Two year old Zelex 170 needs both knees tightened. They have become loose to the point she can't stand. Anyone know how to do this? (This was probably my fault). Thanking you in advance for your cooperation. A razor incision on either side of the knee would enable you to get a socket on either side...

Beautiful! I love this thread, the dolls and art!

This is my only attempt in the genre.

A little IPhoto retouch and you'll never see the ugly scar on her thigh. http://www.ourdollcommunity.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Screen_Shot_2023-05-03_at_7_47_54_PM.png Best of all she can still stand! http://www.ourdollcommunity.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Screen_Shot_2023-05-03_at_7_48_25_PM.png ...

I learned that when closing a long deep incision in silicone (using Silpoxy), to begin with the middle of the incision and work outwards to the either end. This way rather than beginning at one end and working to the other, it is easier to close the edges flush with one another.

Patrick sent a prototype partial skeleton from which I cannbalized a hip joint, heavier duty than the original. http://www.ourdollcommunity.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Screen_Shot_2023-04-28_at_11_51_14_AM.png The new one installed with nylock nuts not as highly torqued. She probably won't stand any...

I've never worked wit TPE, but Q-tips are always good to have around. If the glue is thin enough A Q-tip might do the trick.

Texting with Patrick he indicated that he can send me the part needed. I said that would be so cool!

Nice! Such a beautiful young woman, nice to see Natalie here!
