Re: Insert repair or toss question
Hi young gun,The young gun wrote:Unfortunately my favorite insert today burst on me. I pushed the applicator wand through the back wall and I would like to know what you guy think. Should I take a chance and try repairing it with the two part silicone? Or will this eventually fail again and fluids go into the doll and cause mold damage/more issues than its worth?
just use the pocketed silicone (or any RTV-1 sil) which came with the accessory kit when the doll was delivered as this is the best to fix the tear.
Don't worry about that, sil dolls are fully reparable

Re: Insert repair or toss question
I know you have had your doll for quite some time now but, here is how I lube the inserts.... Use plenty of alcohol when you install the insert in the doll both inside the dolls insert cavity and just outside the insert cavity opening. Use some on the exterior of the insert also for lubrication and use your fingers on the opposite hand to assist the installation. You may already do this to install the insert but, I don't know.
Good luck with the repair and like SF said, they are fully repairable.
