Needs suggestion for repair minor scratches
What? She has acne.
No! It came with her since she arrived.
Should I cut it?
This scratches also came with her since she arrived.
How should I fix it?
This is my own fault. It must be my fingernails that cause the problem.
I cut my fingernails but I forgot to smooth my fingernails then I sleep with her.
Next day I found this scratches.
Hmm This blister I don't know what is the cause.

Bigger tears or skin peeling can be fixed using sil-poxy or the repair kit, but in your case i dont think its necessary.

Re: Needs suggestion for repair minor scratches
I totally agree with you, but i have had three 4woods and all of them had small defects like this in the skin upon delivery so i guess its just something we have to accept even if we dont like it. Repairing things like this with satisfying results is very hard if you are not a professional doll maker so dont try to repair this yourself, thats my advice to the creator of this thread..samara78 wrote:These are bubbles in the silicone. Unnacceptable for the amount paid for her. Contact the manufacturer they need to make it right.

Be careful that clothes or bedsheets are not rubbing the skin as this may cause more skin pealing.

Re: Needs suggestion for repair minor scratches
IT is unfortunate that your doll's surface defects were not better dealt with at the factory but almost all dolls have these surface imperfections. There are many excellent posts on using heat and solvents to address these problems however my advice is that unless you find these flaws to be untenable you accept them as part of the character of your doll.
Human skin has an incredible ability to heal itself and yet no person has skin that is perfect over every square inch of their body, your doll is no different.

Re: Needs suggestion for repair minor scratches
These spots results from enclosed air bubbles while the doll was poured. Best order/use an RTV-1 silicone on which you mix a very small amount of makeup powder matched to the doll's skin tone to seal the spots and she's perfect again. However contact the manufacturer because it's a production issue on a new doll.
When you don't move, touch, pose and use your doll she still rests so perfect but this case never happens, that's the life of dolls

Hi Curmudgeonly,Curmudgeonly wrote:Liquid TPE is very thick and creating liquid TPE completely free of bubbles is almost impossible regardless of whether you make TPE on-site or use heat or solvents to liquefy preformed TPE beads. During manufacturing several methods can be used to remove surface bubbles, hand painting the molds with TPE before filling, rotating the molds so that the bubbles migrate towards the center and special mixing processes when making the TPE all work to mitigate bubbles.

4woods dolls are platinum silicone (not TPE) and a newly mixed batch needs to be degassed before pouring.

Isopropyl alcohol initial cleaning only
You will need nitrile gloves.
You will need acetone or hexane what can you get there?
And a hypoderic syringe.
Almost forgot to seperate cups to mix it in before combining
