And if you don't have the skills for major doll repairs, dive in with minor ones such as sealing small splits.
A little success will work its magic and your confidence will grow

Hey Wheezer! If you ever need to make some extra money you could always go into the doll repair business. Here is an article I read a while back about a guy that repairs dolls. https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/4143392 ... al-ladies/RealidadeSintetico wrote:Well, keep us posted, I'm eager to hear if that doll hospital will consider it... i looked them up and TPE sex dolls don't seem to be their area of expertise, but there is a first for everything![]()
But otherwise, one part of doll ownership is knowing how to fix this shit yourself.. there's good and bad parts to this lifestyleit's not like we can send the doll back to china for repairs, once she's here it's on us to maintain, that's just part of the deal.
I don't have a link to this guy who repairs dolls in the article. I bet you can find him if you google the guy. I don't know of anyone personally who fixes dolls. I am doing my own remodeling and repairs, but I have also watch around 100 hours of videos on YouTube and invested in about $300+ in tools and supplies to be able to care for my own dolls.kla777 wrote:Can you give me link of repair doctor![]()

I was kidding! In one of my jobs I used to design and construct costumes, so I totally know who people are. Plus I personally do not want to be handling other people's dolls for well obvious reasons LOL!!Wheezer wrote:Oh goodness gracious NO !!!muesky6969 wrote: .... Hey Wheezer!

I would rather investigate and learn how to do it then share it. And have that exchanged back, like here on the board. All free exchange.
Once you start to do it for funding, then they are not happy with what you think and know is right, you have to worry about costs of supplies, time, shipping, workshop area, etc. And even then folks still won't be happy. This way if they want to do it themselves, fine. If they have their own way of doing it, fine. If they have a pet tool, technique or chemical that works for their situation or doll, fine.
Saves stress for everybody involved.
Cheers!
