It's mainly for changing eyes and eyelids for the MannequinFan's eye and eyelash set but it shows him gouging off the eyes off of a WM head.

Re: Anyone willing to post an eye change tutorial?
The TPE is pretty stretchy so you won't tear anything if you're careful. WM dolls generally have half round 32mm eyes with cotton wadding behind them to keep them in place. You can get your finger in and remove the eye'ball' and take out some of the wadding behind it or you may find the amount is ok but it's not actually properly inside the cup of the eye so just squash it in again.
Putting the eye back in is the trickiest trying to prevent the eyelashes from coming adrift! A tiny spot of glue that came with the doll can reattach one if necessary. Be careful not to get the glue on anything else, especially the eye itself!
Cheers, Hollows.

I find a couple of extra large paperclips opened up and the ends bent round a little at the ends can be a handy tool to have for holding the lids open and hooking behind the rim of the eyeballs for adjustment and removal.

OMG, I was looking at this thread a day ago and thought "I should do a video" and completely forgot that I already published one.
Thanks for reminding me ^^

Re: Anyone willing to post an eye change tutorial?
I powder the eye personally. This way i don't loosen the lash any by that moisture.hollows+fentiman wrote:I hear what you're saying carver but there is a danger there of loosening the glue on the lashes and also removing permanent makeup! TPE is not really very good with alcohol and it should be used sparingly! Make sure everything dries (especially the wadding) before you put the eye back! It maybe better to use a couple of drops of babyoil if the eye is stuck but again, this can remove glue and makeup if not careful!

Re: Anyone willing to post an eye change tutorial?
Is baby oil safe for the eyes btw?
I don't use it to lube the socket out of fear of removing eye lash glue or the oil eating into the lacquer coat and making the eyes dull, but don't know for certain if that actually happens tbh.

Re: Anyone willing to post an eye change tutorial?
The eyes that MannequinFan makes are basically round and sort of spring loaded so you can push on them to move them as he demonstrates in his video. Some 'eyeballs' of some makes of dolls are round but with a peg on the back to allow them to pivot. If your doll's eyes are like this then PERHAPS a tiny bit of oil might help them to move more easily. You're right though, the oil on the surface can make the more plastic eyes less bright. The acrylic ones not so much and they can be cleaned more easily too!
Cheers, Hollows.

Re: Anyone willing to post an eye change tutorial?
I'm currently checking my PM's every few hours, right now, crossing my fingers that I've made it to the top of MF's waiting list.
For easier positioning I saw some1 using beads or fake pearls in the cavity of the half rounds (I forget the thread and specific size of the beads I'm afraid), which they said worked well. I'm sure putting wadding in there makes sense to someone somewhere but I'm not seeing it myself I couldn't believe it when I found the wadding in there tbh .... or the amount of time I spent putting it back in lolol
