Summer is here!
On her left hand is a considerable pocket of air in the palm portion of the hand, both front and back.
Wondering how I should handle this?
I have considered using a syringe to suck out the air. The other hand, which is fine, seems to have the silicone actually bonded to the skeleton's palm plate. So if I syringe the air our of the left hand, do I also need to do something to bond the silicone to the palm plate?
As a disclosure of sorts, I have sent this to SanHui as well. Given that it's 13 hours ahead there(nighttime) I wanted to post here as well as I was hoping to get a jump on this to avoid further damage to that area.
There is also a puncture in the heel silicone that penetrates all the way to the skeleton. I can't seem to dig up the old repair thread, but iirc, use acetone to clean and rtv food grade silicone to repair?
Right now I am treating this as a fixable problem, so I don't intend this to impact the overall experience with this doll in an objective review. It's just some stuff I need to take care in case it gets worse.
Thanks all!

Btw, Sanhui did reply (impressive, it's late there) and did recommend to syringe out the air. They said they were sending glue (unclear what kind). What I could stand to know is if I should be injecting sil-poxy after taking out the air?
Thanks again!

Yeah, you can get diabetic syringes. You could just use a needle as well. Just something to let that air escape. It's really a funny issue. Looks like the poor girl got stung by a bee! haha!QuantumVoodoo wrote:I'll be leaving before long to get a syringe. Do pharmacies supply those to people by chance?

Re: Summer is here!
I do wonder though how it is possible for air to form inside the body like that during shipping? Is it existing air inside that get compressed and pushed through the body from vibrations? Something formed by warm temperatures? If it is coming from the foam core, would it not be better if there's a canal leading to the neck bolt for venting, instead of risking balloons that mess up the silicones attachment to the foam and skeleton?

By any chance do you live at a high altitude?
Congrats on your new beauty arriving ... sorry to see she has trapped air inside her palm. This is/should be a very easy repair to perform as is the puncture in the bottom of the foot. There are many repair threads around TDF that can explain and walk through these repairs step by step. I have a few repair threads myself, one dealing with foot punctures. I am currently finishing up a quick palm repair tutorial that I hope to be posting in the next 48 hours. PM me if you need any assistance and I'll do my best.
Cheers!

Due to drug abuse, most pharmacies do not give out or sell syringes without a prescription. Might get lucky but don't be surprised if they can't give you one.AVT100 wrote:Yeah, you can get diabetic syringes. You could just use a needle as well. Just something to let that air escape.

Ok, well there you go. Walmart isn't really a pharmacy but whatever works. I work for a pharmacy, the largest in the US, and what I said is true. Most being the keyword.AVT100 wrote:That's not true.

Re: Summer is here!
Metricnut has been pm'ing some assistance, and I've taken the liberty of pm'ing Samara78 as well, and I am thankful to all of you for the input, truly!
I never did make it to the pharmacy yesterday, so I left her hanging to avoid damage. I will call a couple pharmacies soon and find out the answer to that question, then reply back here.
Thanks again all!
