What temperature setting did you use on the heat gun? I am worried the TPE might deform if the heat gun is set too high.

I assume you mixed the coloring with mineral oil? Is that correct?

Is this the same girl who had the hollow surgery?
Her nickname will become the "lab doll".
Well done! Godt klaret!
Re: Dyeing Nipples with new colors DIY Mod - video
Thank you! I'm not sure exactly what the temperature is, but the heat gun is set on 2,5 on a scale from 1-6 and it goes from 50-600° degrees Celsius. So the blow probably hits the TPE with around 100° degrees Celsius. So yeah, don't get it too hot! Also, if you heat for too long cracking will occur (I got that on my testing pieces).melenerj wrote:This is an amazing discovery! Great job!

Btw, the heat gun was $45 USD on sale.
Thank you! No, I use it as dry powder directly onto the TPE, just like you would do with any makeup mascara etc. I only used oil 2 times. If I wanted to dissolve it a bit after I had put it on to fade/blur it out and then for wiping off around the dyed area and clean the edges.Justinpassinthru wrote:Thank you for this! This is exactly what I've been looking for. There is a shockingly few tutorials for nipple recoloring, especially considering this is a problem we all run into sooner or later.

Yeah this can also be used for the face eg. lips, eyeliner, mascara shades etc.
Thanks! Mange tak!gogodolls wrote:Really impressive again!

Yes, it's the same doll. She has no name, so 'lab doll' will do. Still banging her though...

I haven't tried these though, so don't know if they're good.

If you use the 3M tape primer 94 to melt down some TPE to a very runny paste, and coat the area, with a thin layer of paste the color you added will not be leeched out by the oil, especially if you use the heat gun again after the paste dries..
Thank you so much for this information!!!

Re: Dyeing Nipples with new colors DIY Mod - video
I just tried out a lot of different types of dye colors on test TPE. I'm familiar with most of it from my professional work (which I will not mention here). However, I couldn't really get it to stick to the TPE when I washed it. Then I tried to heat it with a lighter (burn it in) and it worked. Then I bought the heat gun ($45) knowing that I would also need it for another project anyway ( viewtopic.php?f=229&t=136921 ).jazzman wrote:Incredibly creative. How did you discover that food color powder would work or that a heat gun would seal?
Afterwards I saw on YouTube that special effects (FX) artists uses somewhat the same method (airbrushing though) when making silicone heads and masks for movies etc. They also use a heat gun to make the color layers sit. So I figured I was on the right track. And by using food colors it would be a non-toxic affair (except for the TPE fumes), so that was a big win for me.
Yes, I'm aware of this method from Weezer's posts. The problem is that the M3 94 Primer is toxic as hell. And i don't know if I would feel like sucking nipples or lips knowing about the toxicity from the 94 Primer seal. I don't think so... And besides, I don't need to oil these few parts of the doll. It's not really necessary.muesky6969 wrote:If you use the 3M tape primer 94 to melt down some TPE to a very runny paste, and coat the area, with a thin layer of paste the color you added will not be leeched out by the oil, especially if you use the heat gun again after the paste dries..
Anyhow, yes you're right it could work and I might try it out someday at a later time when I'm done using this doll.

Re: Dyeing Nipples with new colors DIY Mod - video
My interest currently is mostly with lip coloring, since that wore off very quickly for me. And despite this thread not being named accurately for face or more specifically lip-related questions, it's at least a tutorial thread of some sort instead of "buried deep someplace".
You mentioned in your other thread for face additional precautions:
I'm kind of wondering if two boards would be better, one for each eye, so that the nose wouldn't create a gap underneath? Though they might move if not secured somehow. Add a central third one and I'd guess it's a pretty effective barrier at that point.IMPORTANT: If heat sealing the face one should cover the eyes area with wood (not heat conductive). Else the eyelids and eyelashes will melt . I learned this the hard way. But the edge of a rounded wooden chopping board as cover can provide protection just fine (just don't melt it down in the surrounding TPE ).
With that said, I don't own even one wooden cutting board. Are there any other common insulators that a household might own in a suitable form factor? Books are kind-of-wood, but are they safe under a heat gun? How about... ceramic dinner plates?
Then there's the issue of how powerful of a heat gun setting is to be used (I don't own one yet so knowing this would help a purchase decision too)? How close would it be used? For what duration? And how widely does this vary between TPE blends? And since it already seems from this list there might not be an exact answer, in general how do you know when it's time to stop applying heat?
I put up an order for two TPE samples to try stuff out. Maybe I'll get at least some idea of what colors I will get in practice. Are these ones "oil based for fat solution" that you mention as a necessary property? it's at least a brand I can find locally: https://www.staedter.de/en/food-colour-powder.html
