IT 150cm Victoria doomed to death - can she be rescued?

Re: IT 150cm Victoria doomed to death - can she be rescued?
I was one of the "testers" of Indigo's CWA in 2018, and the glue still works with all of my dolls...
What can i say about the glue? It works like hell, and is no longer produced because Indigo closed his business this summer...
I saw some of Mishka's videos and Indigo told me about some popular strange ways here at TDF how to repair a doll...
In Germany we only use the glue from Indigo and dollslounge, a smd rework station with hot air, and a soldering iron, sometimes with some of my special tips...
Nothing special, just some tips made from aluminium, most used diameter is 6mm. If you want to make your own...
Don't forget to use enough baby oil as lubricant and heat transport, you should never use a hot tip directly and dry on TPE, it will burn and overheat in seconds!
The gluing was easy, i placed the doll on the stomach, closed the leg, and started to apply the CWA with a brush while i opened the "lips" with two fingers.
The next day i turned the doll and glued the vagina together.
Was not very hard, because it was almost a clean cut with very few loss of material...
I also apply some oil with my finger before i use hot air...

Thank you for the tips Stephan. Very nice! Do you happen to know of anyone selling glue that's close to Indigo's CWA since he doesn't get it anymore? And you are exactly right about being generous with the baby oil while using heat to repair. I learned the hard way many years ago when I was heating a hook with a hot air gun to smooth out tpe and the tpe was sticking to the metal while trying to smooth out. After some more research finding out about the baby oil when repairing it made it easy as hell. Those aluminum tips are awesome. That would have helped on my last repair. This is what I use to heat and smooth out the tpe.icewind wrote:Thank you all again for your comments!

However any chemical used on a doll should always be tested on similar material first
Re: IT 150cm Victoria doomed to death - can she be rescued?
I've heard of this stuff and seen everyone praise the job it does but I haven't had the opportunity to use any myself yet. May have to order some to have on hand and research it some more.seagull wrote:About the only stuff close to Indigo's CWA is the 3M 94 Primer and 3M VHB Tape Universal Primer UV

Don't use this stuff until you have tested it on same material to what your doll is made of, neck shavings etc
Re: IT 150cm Victoria doomed to death - can she be rescued?

A friend of mine and Indigo, Werner Grönke from dollslounge.de, has also developed a fine glue for TPE.
But his website is down because of the new clsd law in Germany...
I don't know how is the situation in the US, but dollsfrance has 10 pieces of CWA still available, last chance perhaps...
And much cheaper than 3M Primer and a new doll...
As i can say so far, CWA seems to be the only glue that is able to weld Irontech TPE, tested on 2 of my 3 IT Dolls...
If you have a cut, i prefer glue than heat.
Has anyone of you used the irontechdoll glue? I have never seen such a glue...
Re: IT 150cm Victoria doomed to death - can she be rescued?
Hmm.I wonder if those are the last 10 in existence that Dollfrance has. I haven't seen anything on here of anyone ordering CWA in the US.
