Latex Bonding

Post by Jerry »

I have a question...

If I have a latex doll with a thin area or an area where I need patching. If I clean the area very well... then apply liquid latex... will it bond?

I was thinking that a pinhole leak or even a small tear could be fixed by painting over that area with liquid latex and building up thickness.

Thoughts?

Hi Jerry,
I don't know if this will help your situation or not, but I have used PERFORMIX VLP with good results on my latex lover and Tera Patrick doll. It is clear and drys to a flexible form. I made a repair to my latex lover, the back inside of her throat developed a leak and fixed it with VLP. This was year ago and no leaks.

latex usually bonds very well to latex. But maybe the new layer could delaminate when the first layer expands a little when blowing up. There is only one way to find out...

Yes it does if you clean the the latex( being applied to) very thoroughly with acetone & let the applied latex cure atleast 36 hrs.

I also did a whole dolll( for those who haven't seen it) here:

I started this project over a year ago but kept getting sidetracked.It's 90% done & plan to finish it in the next few months.
