TPE sinks away the heat rather quickly.

Re: New video - TPE repairs, a comprehensive tutorial
One small note... if you practice on a small piece of TPE the way I was, your melt temperatures may not exactly match the work you do on the doll. Mishka is spot on that you want to look for "glassiness". If you look even closer, you can see the surface levels of the TPE start to "run" just slightly. I oiled/ reheated/ pressed about seven times to make sure the subsurface layers had rebonded, not just the superficial layer. This is the tricky part about repairing cuts, compared to surface level abrasions.
One other thing I noticed, is that after the material has cooled somewhat but not entirely, you can carefully touch the cut to feel whether the separation has actually reconnected. It doesn't take much pressure to tell. If it hasn't, you have to oil/ heat/ press until it does, otherwise you just have a shallow layer of TPE "covering" the cut, instead of the cut itself actually disappearing. Think of a scab where the skin hasn't actually healed over yet.
Obviously I felt like an idiot for causing the cut in the first place, but it felt great to know it could be fixed. Really appreciative of the time people take here to share their knowledge.
