Waterproof?

[Tengu]

With the new neck-bolt attachment on the Realdolls, are they still considered waterproof? If you were to bathe a doll and get water into the attachment point, would this effect anything internally such as the skeleton, or is it sealed around this point? Thanks.

I have said this at least 30 times on this forum... but I guess I'll say it again.

1) The joints are made of steel, not stainless steel... just mild steel.

2) Steel rusts when wet.

3) When a doll is submerged water is forced in under the slight pressure due to the height of the water. (depth)

4) The water migrates through the hollow skeleton to the base... what's at the base? Steel joints.

5) The body is basically a semi-sealed system so it is trapped with some air.

6) Air + Steel + Water = RUST

Do I really need to say it again?

WOW ! Jerry!

Your're about a Nine on the tension scale ain't ya ? (paraphrase from "The Burbs" movie)

I believe this post out did the one when that fella was trying to cut/paste that URL for the Superbabe make-up session.

I guess that two hours of sleep per night doesn't help after all!

So...is like steel a metal or something? [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_tongue.gif[/img]

Just kidding !

Never submerge your Realdoll in water. Water finds a way to get in somehow. I've seen it many times.
Bathe her with a sponge.

I was just curious because I have seen pictures of Realdolls in bath tubs. I have also heard of people soaking their Realdolls in hot water to warm them up.

[Jerry]

And then... you never hear from them again.

Tense... yeah... guess I should take my medicine. If not I get bitchy. [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Here's a bit of fuel...But surely if body 6 and 7 are molded all in one (up to neck or bolt-hole if you've got one). Then you can fairly safely place your doll in a hot tub (maybe with a seat?) Especially if you don't have the neck bolt. Yes? No?

[Bill]

NO! The water will find a way to get in when she is submerged. Maybe it is condensation from the temperature change but I have found moisture and rust in a joint that needed repair. Don't risk it.

Oh damn! I'd really want to play with my doll in the tub. [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Zip locks are freezer safe also, for that fun in the snow!

... Ok... Ok... It sounds like WE are getting a little DESPERATE here, with Zippy Locks and all that...

(Next thing you know,,, we will be Talking about SPECIAL "Dry" Wet-Suits for (SLD)s.) [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

So,,, how,,, about,,, a fairly inexpensive "Water Getter" for "After Aqua" (SLD) activities???

Alcohol is fairly cheap and if used carefully, with some proper and VERY required drainage and evaporation openings,,, MIGHT just FIT the Bill... (Sorry BillToo) [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Obtw, it worked WONDERs in my "Display Only" Latex Lady and bled right-through her "skin", quite naturally... (See LLD for more details.)

(OBTW, during cards,,, my best friends LOVE dreaming and talking about "our" Latex Lady that I have named "Jeanie"... She is, mentally, dressed and un-dressed, by them, about a dozen or so times, each and ever evening.)

So,,, do you want to get the "Doll Word", OUT??? Simply,,, show an untouched one,,, OFF... [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

*** Also Folks,,, with that "Alcohol Water Getter" idea, above,,, you can get a VERY INTERESTING "Pomader Effect" by adding your favorite perfume, Whiskey or Scotch, even. *** (I have not drank since 1990,,, but I still enjoy the aroma of a fine Blend.)
