If you manage to fix her do not put anything made from silicon in her as the ttpe will react badly with prolonged contact .Good luck with the repair..

I would contact one of the WM vendors here about a repair kit.
The solvent that they refer to as a 'weld' isn't what you want.
They'll know what you need.
But no repair is going to take well without good prep first.

Oooh that's not so bad m8

Check out Indigo20's latest tutorials for his solution.
Heat is another option but please read up on that subject as the fumes are very dangerous
Glue is another option - it looks like you struggled to close the open wound to seal in the glue so it just kept eating away
Lovedoll.co.uk sell a paste that may be useful, I dunno in this instance tho tbqh as it's a high wear area
+ You can buy an insert if you need more material or something to practice on

Or you could bore it out some more, which I think they call a recore.
I don't think a record is necessary tho, unless you fancy a change down there.

Choices choices :)

Try to keep her well oiled and as relaxed as you can in the mean time.

Hullo you need the glue solvent from the manufacturer. Make sure to clean thoroughly the area to be sealed with isopropyl rubbing alcohol(repair surface prep)
Apply solvent sparingly starting from the beggining of the cut and pressing the legs together. Leave ten minutes well pressed and work your way outward. This nreeds to be done in baby steps to succeed
