Re: Oder welding TPE with soldering iron???
That aside, though remotely related, I am reasonably sure that if you leave the finished work in a well ventilated or at least roomy area the scent will go away over time. It may be best to do a water-and-soap bath, let it dry completely, do a mineral oil bath, let it dry completely, and powder the TPE.
However yeah - the fumes are toxic and soldering (though I am very tempted to do it myself) can be dangerous. There are chemical-based glue solutions that work really well without causing all the heat and significantly reduce the vapors.

Regarding your Twi'lek doll...You only need to have doll cast in blue. You can ask manufacturer to do that for you. Then you buy the tentacles from etsy. They are a wig, and head cover. You can have those any color you want. You could ask the makers to do the latex in the color you wan't, or paint them. I think I'm going for tentacles that match the current skin tone of my doll.

Anung, interesting in Vaseline. Do you have some experience with that? I used quick, brush like motions, with the soldering iron. The TPE still had a clean look to it, as well as with wiping the soldering iron. I have no way to control the temperature, but I didn't actually want to melt the TPE.

The oil is just on the tip to avoid it grabbing the tpe in the event I slip.
Vaseline is applied once the tpe has recured. Give it 24 hours or so to soak in, and do not be to heavy handed in the application.

Re: Oder welding TPE with soldering iron???
Alas. I already have a really nice set of Lekku from Twi'Lek Paradise, but as you pointed out, they're latex. My doll is TPE and my preference is for TPE at this point, so seeing as TPE tends to break latex down, she's not really compatible with the headpiece, though it fits and I have pictures to prove it. Also, I do not like the smell of the latex at all, nor the feel honestly. But the size and shape are perfect.bootylover24 wrote: Regarding your Twi'lek doll...You only need to have doll cast in blue.

So I'm looking for a TPE compatible solution.
