What I am doing now is keeping her a pp white bucket.no lid. Than with the head on the top of the bucket gently resting, I then placed it all inside of an old French hat box. Lid on. I hope this work even temporarily?

Almost done with my other project, so I will start up on her again later this evening cheers.

Ok so am working maddam poupee tonight. Here is a pic of her vag repair thus far.

: She has a hole down there. I can only say it is hard and brittle. From the sweet insert removal.
I have clamped this area with fresh repair material.I used rubber cement card and a small clamp; 20150928_231936.jpg (980.55 KiB) Viewed 3947 times

I didn't like her mouth dark red. So while waiting for the rubber cement to cure on her hoohah. I painted her mouth lighter, and gave her some eye shadow and very light blush.

Well after a lot of work maddam may stay inflated.
I'm sure I may find some leaks. Now for pics.

Thank you Cyberdoll, happy you sent her my way. The latex was stiff on her vag and cracked in places. I finished fixing her vag. So I decided to do her face up.

Oh thanks Von! Not quite done with this French gem yet! I have to finish coloring in her nipples than giving her an armour all wash, that's after I hang my winter curtains up in my bedroom. Thank you so very much for the encouragement, she is quite a lovely doll. All she needs is a little love to be everything she can be.

Yeah she still won't hold air. Bummer. I will figure it out.

With these French mademoiselle Le Latex - one must look to her places where an air bubble may have come undone and is allowing air to escape from her lovely body - also check around her under-arms - but not exclusively there

In my travels with these fine French lassies - i've seen these tiny little air bubble pockets popped - once on a footsie while on some others it was on her shoulder, with yet another in the groin area - take your time looking - it'll be worth it -

Also - check where her vinyl head is glued to her latex body around the neck area - another source - although - i have noticed that the latest air babes from France are much better attached VS the older ones from just a few years back

Happy Trails -

It's all in the groin. She had sweet insert which was removed. The latex on the outside is quite brittle. I will need to carefully search for any more leaks down there. Since I won't be banging her at all. I could just close the whole hole lol

I will have to find where to get a pour able latex here in the states.

Seeing your other wonderful works - I am sure you'll pull this off flawlessly -

But to pour-able latex - yeah we don't have those glues like they do in Jolly ole England with "copydex" and such - there might be others -

I am just not really knowledgeable in latex repairs as are the others here who seem to have it down pact - hopefully some will see this and give some insight to USA available pour-able latex & from whom

Happy Trails -

Hi Samara,
Regarding liquid latex ... I use this http://www.tapplastics.com/product/mold ... _rubber/62 It is pretty much ready to use right out of the container and not very costly. One can get very creative using this stuff.
Cheers,
Von
