Repairing a PHICEN Seamless Doll

Hey Gang!

Recently I purchased from E-bay, a 1/6 Female seamless body doll, # PLLB2014-S09. She's a wonderful figure in very many ways but I just noticed a tiny problem that has me a bit concerned. She's developing a very tiny diagonal tear at her left hip, where, I'm assuming, the injection point would be for the material she's made of. It's only very small, less than 2mm long but I'd like to repair the damage before it gets worse. My question is, is there any type of adhesive I can use to fix this tear to keep it from opening up again? I've already tried 100% RTV silicone sealant as recommended elsewhere on the net & it did hold for a short time but has just popped loose from the split. I don't wanna have to permanently shelve her in her box for fear of making it worse, Is there any help you fine folks can give or advice you can impart to me?

Sincere thanks!

So far, all mine are intact. Some TPE glue might work. Keep us posted.

You need a rubber type adhesive.
Does her joint click? Or is she the quiet steel skeleton type?

She's the Steel Skeleton type, very quiet n very poseable with no clicks. A rubber type adhesive would be great so long as I can get one that won't pop loose & will cure soft like the rest of the figure

If she is silicone then the repair needs to be prepared first by wiping with acetone. Then apply silicone. Many of us have had success with Permatex windshield adhesive which is a flowable silicone.

Best wishes

Uou will only be sealing the gap and wiping away any excess material with isopropyl and cotton swabs

Your Phicen S09 is NOT silicone. I have 2 of them. She is apparently some type of proprietary TPE/TPR like material exclusive to Phicen Limited. The boxes do not say exactly what it is. I have full size silicone and TPE dolls and the Phicens are something else. However, they do closely resemble the smell and feel of TPE, but it is not the same compound as my WM doll. That is why I recommended the TPE glue. Your best bet is to contact Jenny at Phicen sales and ask her. Then, by all means, do share.
