Best Method to Repair a Torn Armpit?
Best Method to Repair a Torn Armpit?
There are no weird heat, cold, light conditions in my shop, so I'm perplexed. Sorry, no pictures of the injury, my battery died on me before I got one. Any ideas on how to fix a tear near her armpit would be appreciated by me - and Tara!

So basically, it just happens without an obvious cause? Weird. Thank you for letting me know. I thought it was me.Dollicious2 wrote:This the most common damage on TPE dolls , I have a 163 cm C cup WM Doll and shortly after posing her for pics with her arms extended I noticed that her arm pits did that too but it hasn't bothered me too much but I have wondered also how best to fix this problem or make them look like real armpits again. I am sure others here may have a good idea of what to do. Maybe adding some TPE which can be purchased from a vendor could work and I am considering trying that. Lovedoll UK has several videos about TPE repairs.

Re: Best Method to Repair a Torn Armpit?
There is a cause sorry I didn't get more in detail about that, it comes from moving the arms in a way that the armpits TPE will stretch like lifting her arms to put a dress on her which is very necessary in doing so or extending her arms putting any stress on the armpits. If your like any other doll owner this will happen eventually because she is for pleasure and moving her about will require her arms be extended in certain ways causing the tearing. I couldn't imagine being so careful not to tear her armpits it would take all the fun out of having her in the 1st place in my opinion.

you'll see some pics where I have her standing solo with her arms up and her hands behind her head or on the bed grabbing her ankles is a hot one which is the 1st pic on page 1 I believe yeah in a sexy black outfit and short hair black wig.
Here is a link for the Lovedoll UK video blog featuring a TPE repair in which they showcase their TPE accessory you can buy from their website , they have tan and natural color TPE maybe pink and pale white too idk. When you receive the TPE shipment be sure to do your repairs immediately because the TPE will start to thicken over the course of several days and remember it has also traveled a ways to reach your doorstep. https://vimeo.com/222840761
This is a series of 4 repair videos showcasing an anal tear repair , I suggest watching them all this will help understand the process and the moderator is very thorough in explaining the technics's giving you a good idea how best to do it. I think with an armpit repair the TPE would simply be spread out without glue being used but idk for sure it just makes sense not to use glue and smoothed over then let to set but I would extend her arms outward so that she will then be able to extend from then on without tearing but may have the lose skin appearance under the arms idk I haven't tried it yet I have been procrastinating and got a lot of bills right now lol
Hope this helps.

Free Take Care Kit For Big Sex Doll PurchaseFirst i like to thank Sexysexdoll for the whole transaction process. It was by far the best purchase experience with a vendor i ever made.
They have a really good relationship to the manufacturers, get fast in contact with them to solve problems directly or change something shortly.
Biggest recommendation i can give!!

No, I did not contact the seller. I figured you guys on here would probably know more about repairsSexy Sex Doll wrote:if it's not a very bad one, have a few drops of TPE glue on it, then put it back to the original position to avoid any movement or open again. After a night or two, it should recover, Good if we can see the pics to advise more accurately. Did you check with your seller?
I'll try to get some pictures of the damage over the weekend. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Best Method to Repair a Torn Armpit?
Glue is not the solution to this problem , you need TPE. There is a simple low cost way to get TPE from LoveDoll UK at only $23 per 2 ml in Tan color or natural skin color here is the link for tan skin TPE as most are Tan skin dolls https://lovedoll.co.uk/product/tpe-filler-tanned/catnap wrote:Here are a couple of pictures of the damage. It looks a little bigger than when I first saw it.
If your doll is natural skin tone https://lovedoll.co.uk/product/tpe-filler-natural/
This is liquid TPE and will fill in the armpits. To me it makes sense to extend the arm so that the tear is open and fill it in and smooth it out and let the arm stay extended letting the TPE dry overnight. When the arms are not extended you don't see the armpits and when they are extended the same tear will happen over and over again if you fill in the holes and close the arms for the TPE to set. When pouring the TPE in be sure to position the Doll upside-down so that the TPE doesn't run out of the hole. I have heard wrapping the area in plastic wrap is a good idea but may make the drying process take longer plus the TPE could also bind with the plastic wrap so I advise not to cover the pour with anything , just let it get air and dry in the smoothed out form.

We had some one who had problems under the armpit area as well.

Re: Best Method to Repair a Torn Armpit?
Looking at those pics it appears the tear is pulling away from the seam area so may have started from a weak spot in this area. I understand they run a heat gun over most of the seam after de-molding to smooth it out but the armpit doesn't get done (my doll's the same). Maybe if it had been the TPE would have melted together better and this wouldn't have happened.
Re: Best Method to Repair a Torn Armpit?
Thanks. The tear appears to be radiating from the seam. Hopefully, adding some material to it will fix it and it won't happen again.nicvncnt wrote:That's a bad tear in your doll, best of luck with the repair, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I am ordering some TPE Filler to match her color. Also, I have a friend who makes his own homemade filler to use as a base, and he said he will help me when he gets out this way. I'll get her fixed, it may just take a while.
