Well, Coversdoll does not 'Recognize' my username, or accepts my e-mail address, so I guess I'll just have to do the best I can with Tabby's recore once I get the kit from Abyss....

As promised Here is the full article with pictures :D You will still have to go to CoverDoll to see all the pictures and to blow them up to full size. I put these pictures in Dottie's album and didn't want to fill it.

This operation is a major one, and would be best handled by someone with experience. Abyss now has the facilities to do doll repairs. If that is not an option and you feel up to the task, then this is how I did a re-coring. It would also be helpful if you had someone to help move the doll. I had to make a rack to invert the doll, and that adds weight. Plus it needs to be suspended from something solid. So lets get started by putting Dottie under.

Image


Image


Dottie was in need of major work. The vagina and anus were to close together and over time split. The first thing to do is access the damage and the best way to fix the problem. It was obvious that a re-core kit from Abyss was needed. The instructions from Abyss differ from what I did but only in how the doll was elevated (you will see later) First thing is to clean the holes inside and out with MEK or Acetone. Next peel off the labia or cut with a razor blade if necessary. After cleaning the taint area again use the Abyss Adhesive on the split taint. Use sparingly. I had to hold the legs closed with a rope. Leave her to set over night.


Image


The next step involves making the torture device, which is made out of a 2x10 and a couple of 1x3. I used the neck bolt hanger that came with the crate and inverted it. At the tips of the Y I screwed in eye screws to attach the chains with corresponding eye bolts attached to the rafters. The Y is held together with carriage bolts. You also want the rack made so that it is at a good working height and good light. Strap the doll to the rack with a web belt around the waist and Velcro around the legs. Also use padding between the doll and the rack.

Image


Now Dottie is ready to have her holes stuffed :wink: You maybe able to see that not all of the taint stayed glued together. Not a problem. I used the adhesive to give a bit of strength, but will use the two part for filling.


Image


Time to mix the silicone. Start by working the color by squeezing the bottle to mix it, then pour it into the mixing cup. I marked the catalyst bottle at the half way point so I only use half of part B to a whole bottle A. I also mark the catalyst bottle in quarters for mixing half of part A. I wouldn't mix any smaller. When stirring make sure you get into the corners of the cup. Also stir so as not to make a lot of bubbles.


Image


Fill a syringe, then inject the silicone deep and, coat the walls. After injecting about half of the syringe, slip in the vaginal core. The core has been soaped with dish washing liquid and left to dry a head of time. Next slip in the anal core. You could put that in first to stop the excess silicone from going in but I used the latex to stop the over flow, then put in the plug. The anal core is soaped too. Fill the area around, and between the cores, but only to the level of the old labia base.


Image


Let the mix set up a bit before adding more. Once the silicone sets up to the consistency of putty you can add some more and shape it with some soap on your finger.


Image


I didn't make the taint to the finished height at this point. I will do that on a second pour. When done shaping let the silicone cure over night.

When you can pull all the silicone out of the cup stuck to the stick, it is time to lay her down. BUT DON"T PULL THE CORE YET. You will get an idea how silicone dries by working with it often. This batch was a very slow cure. I waited a week to pull these cores. I would wait a minimum of 48 hours. If it seem to set up in an hour. This batch didn't start to set for about six hours.After the silicone has had time to cure totally it is time to pull just the vaginal core, do so by grasping the core and manipulating it out.


Image


Now it is time to clean the soap from the whole area. First I washed with water. Then used the acetone. Next fit the labia opening to the vagina opening. In this case I cast the new vagina a little higher up so the lip opening doesn't quite line up naturally. By putting an old catalyst bottle in the vagina I can put the labia over it so the holes line up. I cleaned the labia and after dry fitting it found it did not need any trimming. The glue will pull it open, filling the outside of the labia. Apply the adhesive to the back side of the clitoris. Now the sides. Use just enough to coat the area. No need to lather it on. Also only glue the top and sides part way down the bottom part will be filled in with new silicone.


Image


Use T-pins to hold the top part of the labia in place. Start at the top to align. Then pin the sides. Make sure the lips are at the depth that you want. Don't worry if there is a gap inside. You can fill that area with more silicone. You don't want to fill that area with adhesive, because it is too hard and your pee pee won't like it :wink: Now go back and fill any areas that didn't get glued. I used a nail and put a little bit on the tip. Fill the gap, then wipe the access if any. Wipe all the access adhesive off after it starts to set up so it won't be all shinny around the labia. Let the adhesive cure over night, and make sure the adhesive held. Then remove the T-pins.



Image



Time to head back to the rack for the final filling in of silicone. The taint area needs to be filled in with more silicone. In this case the bottle needed to be put back because the labia didn't meet up with the vagina opening. After mixing up a new batch of silicone, I filled in the sides a little more. Then fill in the rest, but just enough so that it doesn't run out. I found I had to add some blocks of wood to raise the rack . This will make the patient lean to make the taint level. Once the mix starts to thicken to almost paste like, it will be really hard for the silicone to come out of the syringe. It is time to finish filling in, do both sides of the anus.



Image


Next we use a piece of latex glove with a thin coat of dry dish soap. Trim and fit the latex to the taint area when the mix is just about set. Start from a side, laying it down so as not to get air trapped. Work it across to get the air out. Push the air out in the corners with a tongue depressor, or mixing stick. This patch helps mold the silicone by making it smooth, and not shinny. Again wait over night to take the patch off, making sure the mix is cured. This second mix seemed to cure quicker and it is shallow so it was good over night.


Image


Once the patch and plugs are pulled, trim the holes with cuticle scissors.





Image


Time now for a bath to wash out the soap. All done! and enjoy :wink: :D 8)

That is an outstanding job, and a first class tutorial!


Dottie and Camp are both very lucky to have your skills to call on, Incrediwagon.

This is were I need a bowing emoticon.

Curious about one of the steps in this medical procedure!

When Dottie is getting prepped and just before the glue is applied to the taint area what is done internally to the vag and anus? Sorry if this sounds crude but did you scape the cavity?

By the way great job and this tutorial is really well done and informative.

Yea, thanks incredi!

I will be attempting this in the not too distant future. This tutorial will prove invaluable.

This is the type of info the manufactures should provide.

I beleive the only preparation for gluing with 1-part is to clean the area thoughroughly with MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) or Acetone.

Same for the vaginal/anal cavities...

What Camp said. The only other thing I did was to wash the doll the day before, inside and out, to give it time to dry.

I also put some silicone in the holes before putting in the cores. I figured this would help the silicone to stick to the old silicone in the off chance some of the soap on the cores rubbed off.

Make sure when you get the repair kit that you use it soon. the longer you wait the less effective the curing agent will be. I just started another re-coring and its not working because the catalyst is a year old. Its been 5 days and it's still tacky. Looks like I will have to scrape it out and start over :x

A little update. Since the bad batch of silicone, I cleaned out all that sticky, gooey mess, and wiped clean with MEK (that shit is nasty). I decided to try something a bit different this time. I wanted the asshole to look more realistic. So I tinted the mix with blush and sank the anal core deeper. Then filled the anus to about 1/4" above it.
You can also see I am repairing a compression split around her left leg.

Image


After that dried I mixed a bit more blush tinted silicone and filled in around inside the labia, and between the two holes, covering the anus a bit more. Then cover the whole shooting match with the soap covered latex. I also used a piece of the packing Styrofoam to help mold it.

Image



When all done I was able to pull the core with difficulty, but a finger slid in easily :thumbs_up: After a couple of test drives it did split a bit, but no more than the original hole. I will endeavor to prove its functionality 8)

Excellent job on this information...

but,why should anyone have to do this after spending a small fortune on them?

seems to me no one goes after the manufaturer for what is known as a weak area and to demand they make it right or fix it and pay only shipping.

i doubt highly most doll owners can perform this job the right way.i'm not being negitive mind you just my point of view.

as crazy eddie said>it's insane!!! :lol:

Dottie was bought "Pre-Loved"... And she is nearly 3 years old.

I neglected to do some minor repairs that exponentially developed into larger problems.

Abyss furnishes a repair kit that not only rebuilds the canals, But also offers an upgraded labia.

Instead of hijacking a repair thread to gripe about the cost of Dolls, We should applaud Abyss, Incred, and our other Doll Doctors among us who keep our Dolls in top shape.

Dottie is in great shape for her age and use. Incred just helped turn the odometer back.
