For her foot you might want to order some tpe glue, or if you're up to it you could try what i did here if the cut isn't too big http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=87007

Cool stuff, but I don't have the equipment. I have ordered TPE glue/solvent. It should be enough for my problem and I will try it on a TPE test piece before I use it on her.

Hey, nice looking lady you have there! Love the blue hair by the way!
What did you mean by "oil" when you were talking about straightening up her wig? I'm constantly fighting with Elise's long brown hair and I'm curious to find things that help with keeping untangled!

Oil is something that keeps Hair soft and silky. Natural hair does that by itself as your skin secretes oil. If you google "wig oil" you will find info how and why people with wigs try different oils to keep it smooth and natural.
You can put in a lot of effort to keep a wig in good condition and would probably do so if you would need to wear it yourself.
There is all sorts of stuff you can find, for example there is a blog here that recommends fabric softener for synthetic hair http://www.xojane.com/beauty/how-to/mai ... c-softener which I found very interesting (But didn't try it yet)
I found that adding a few drops of babyoil after washing your wig will make it less dry and the individual hair strains will more likely stay together (which might help avoid tangles). If you add too much you will get a wet-hair look which can also be appealing.
If you want to try it I recommend adding a few drops to your palm, spread it out in your palm and then masage it into your wig. I did it while the hair is still moist after a shampoo wash.
I don't know how much it will help with avoiding tangles as I don't have any long term experience or comparison and it will change the look of the wig.
