Keeping Gina Lynn a super star
Keeping Gina Lynn a super star
I've had Gina Lynn so many years - honest i can't remember when i got her probably 2007 or so -
While i adore this dolls shape and she has been a fun play mate - we've had our moments - as do all inflata-babes from time to time
one thing i noticed with Gina Lynn as she is made by NANMA/ CONBO & imported by CALExotics as part of their high end inflata-babe line up - is that even when small issues happen - they are always easily fixed with just the suplied repair kit - its a very robust design that for me has been a real pleaure to have
I have done repairs on her in the past and there have been a few - sorry i don't keep a log or can remember each one and where - like an ole Dodge ya fix em and keep going -
What happened this week was that i noticed my super star porn babe Gina Lynn was deflating as she was almost flat - so i began all the standard ways to look for that leak - Gina has had a problem that many NANMA babes have which is the arm - either - left or right pops out of its socket - and the over the years a stress tear developed where the inflation tube from the main body goes into the arm -
a simple fix as before - dab a little glue on the stress tear - let it dry and then later re-set the arm back into her body - for those un -aware - this is a very common issue along with one arm not inflating right away - simply press the arm back into the socket - trust me unlike on us this is painless to the doll - just remember do it when the doll is deflated - never inflated - as air pressure will fight you back -
well i should have been - done N all - but i wasn't - ole Gina simply deflated right again after a few hours - so back to the drawing board -
What i had found - was that it was so many years since i did some repairs on her neck - that the glue had actually hardened and cracked - on a stress tear on her neck where her vinyl body ends and her more solid PVC head begins - "a very common stress tear location"
so removed all the old glue - and then applied a thin layer of glue "from the repair kit" to the area along the stress tear and all along the neck area along the immediate area - then as the glue was drying i applied a small cut strip of vinyl "from the repair kit" onto the drying glue - i let that set for a few momments - then i applied another thin layer of glue around and over the area again - this sealed the strip of vinyl to the stress tear - this now is a better fix than my prior effort - and hopefully will last a few more years -
again Gina Lynn is the porn super star as before - woohoo -
inflata-babes are tuff to some extent - carefull use - realistic expectaion - and some care - can really extend there inflata-life -

Thanks - Barbarous -
While like anything else an inflata-babe can be a one night flight of fancy or a long time fling - all depends on how ya treat them -
i've many years of pleasure with inflata-babes - they are easily used and easy to keep - yeah i know a solid silicone babe would be nice but i am spoiled - i like my inflata-babes best -

No further maintenance is due until 2017...
And just like old Dodges, wives, and battleships, it's always cheaper to keep 'er.

Yes these dolls Gina Lynn & Teagen are among my favs as their shape drives me crazey - i like inflata-babes in positions other than standing at attention - i wish i was skilled at make up - as i would re-do them in a New York minute - but alas - i am make up challenged -
I've been very luck as inflata-babes last a very long time for me - and have become very good play-mates too -
Simple repairs are common to all dolls - and inflata-babes are no exception - but repairs done quickly when they are minor is the best way to handle them -

Re: Keeping Gina Lynn a super star
The repair looks nice and subtle, and best I could tell, not even noticeable at first glance? I imagine that these are the two major problem areas on the inflata-babe, meaning the arms and neck area? And one of the reasons that I have held off somewhat on buying one, as I'm not real handy in the repair department. But these dolls offer a lot of value for the money.
Oh well, at least they're not susceptible to water damage

Yer right - Anahiem - these NANMA/CONBO high end Inflata-Babes all exhibit the same flaws no matter the shape or name of the product
Common areas for flaws are as follows -
Around the neck area - where the more solid head meets the vinyl body
Around the footsie area - again where the solid feet meet the vinyl
• main seam under the insert • This one is a tuff one to repair
I never had a main seam tear on me - but - I never over inflate nor get on top of my Inflata-babes - so that has a lot to do with it
The top two tears along the neck or footsies is simply stress tears - common from just storage or age/ use
Thanks - Great Soul - I've gotten much use from all & now with Crazey Razey joining more fun -
Vicklover - I have few dolls - as to how many - more than 2 -
