How to repair tears?
The question now is how do I fix it? I have a small tube of Sil-Poxy. Can anyone point me to tutorial on how to do this?

Re: How to repair tears?
You will need silpoxy permatex flowable windahield sealant. To glue in.
Isopropyl to prep the area, acetone to finish the cleaning in the cut before gluing.
Nitrile gloves only to prevent contamination of the work area.
Toothpicks to apply glue with. If you need fuller instructions let me know

As for the carbon fibre mesh, is this what you mean? I'm not familiar with lace front wigs, and my attempts to google them have just made me more confused as to how they relate to carbon fibre.
What sort of tool should I use to apply the alcohol and acetone? Makeup remover pads seem like the most obvious thing to me, but maybe they'd be too prone to leaving threads on the surface.

The glue is fine. I can give you big enough swatch of mesh for the. Cost of shipping.The_Turnip wrote:The glue I have is this stuff. Is that the right one?

Use latex or nitrile gloves and work clean.
Samara will guide you thru the repair, as she has loads of skills for repairing DS dolls and other silicones
Yes the silpoxy is ok but bloody expensive. See if Amazon delivers the windshield permatex.

Do repair the outside first though. I can guide you over phone or p.m
P.S the mesh in your photo link is no good, and not The kind you need.

Re: How to repair tears?
As for the Permatex, am I to understand that I need it in addition to the Sil Poxy, or was it just offered as an alternative? If the latter, I may as well use the Sil Poxy as I already have it.
Re: How to repair tears?
Look up lace front wigs on ebay. A small sample won't be a problem. It is a very close netting of nylon. Not like panty hose type. Not that softy or whatever. When i go to trim the wig in the next few days i will post a sample photo online here. Well worth the investment in a 25 dollar wig.The_Turnip wrote:Can you provide a link to an example of the kind of mesh I need please? It's probably cheaper to source locally than to ship to Australia.

Do you have that photo yet? I know you were saying just get a wig, but without knowing what I'm looking for I don't know if these cheap Chinese Ebay wigs have the appropriate part.samara78 wrote:Look up lace front wigs on ebay.

Re: How to repair tears?
Do I even need it or can I just apply the silpoxy by itself?
This is getting really frustrating.

Re: How to repair tears?
Do not use silpoxy in there for reenforcement. . It will make het really hard glob. It would be painful. Fix the tear with silpoxy make sure not to over use it. Clean the whole area with isopropyl alcohol. Thwmen just the tear with acetone in the cut area on a q tip wait two minutes then applet a thin layer of silpoxy on a tooth pick starting in the deepest area of the cut. Go about an 1/8th of an inch. And then close the legs get a new swab dipped in acetone and clean off the excess glue. Tue mesh you are thinking of is only good on insert models. Take the repairs in stages when you finish you will be glad you did. When you have that done post here again, i will be delighted to guide.The_Turnip wrote:I still need help with this. I still haven't been able to find out what the hell this fabric is. I found this tutorial, but I'm still none the wiser as to where to obtain this reinforcement fabric. All my attempts to google for it have been fruitless. I don't know why it seems to be such a secret. Even searching through this forum it always seems to get taken to PMs for some reason.
