Kimber Deluxe Sealing
When I wrote that the dolls seals looked good, that meant that they passed my standard tests for new and used dolls.
These are my steps, hopefully that can prove useful for others.
ENDOSCOPE TEST
Before anything else I run an endoscope into the vaginal and anal canals to insure they are sealed. I have several types, but for doll work I like this one.
It works easier than those that attach to a phone, has decent resolution and captures acceptable images and video.

The anal canal shows nice sealing at the end, see below.

Likewise the vaginal canal showed decent sealing. The small crevice at the deep end was noted and will be watched.
Realistically the small nick should not pose a problem since it is so deep and most users will not have equipment that will bottom out.
The only concern might be if there was constant high pressure cleaning jets applied to this area.
Over time that might lead to a problem.

1st LIQUID TEST (Before Activity)
The doll head was removed, her back arched and legs manipulated to get both canals near vertical, so they could retain fluids.
Both openings were filled with an antibacterial cleaning solution, the full position noted, then allowed to sit for 30 minutes.
At the end of this time the level was the same, so there were no slow leaks. The fluids were then removed with a syringe.
ACTIVITY
Next both holes were the used for “activity”. You can use your own attached personal probe tool or manipulate both canals with fingers or gently with other devices.
The goal is to get some “motion in the ocean” to see if the seals are merely decorative and will stand up to real life use.
2nd LIQUID TEST (After Activity)
After activity the doll was again placed in a position where the two lower openings were upright and then both were filled with antibacterial cleaning solution.
This was left in place for 45 minutes. At the end of this time the levels were not lower, indicating there was no internal leaking.
Comments
Even after passing these tests, I will still do regular fluid level tests.
These are actually automatic, since I use a similar method to clean my dolls (openings upright, fill, drain, and soak then dry).
I clean this way since it is faster and easier process and places less stress on the seals areas of the doll, versus the typical upward water jet cleaning methods.
Plus over time any seal may start to leak. Cleaning this way lets me identify any such issue as soon as possible.
If you do not have an endoscope, then you can still test the integrity of your dolls seals using only fluids tests.
In that case I would suggest using either iso propyl alcohol or a non water fluid of your choice as the test fluid.
You want to make sure that if anything does leak due to a poor seal you will not promote internal mold or rusting.
More later as I move on to her face and then body.
Cheers!
