Repair Dollfie Dream vinyl repair question

Nov 4, 2023

Watch Thread
    1. Hi.
      I did a search on this topic, but wasn't able to find any info on this. I have a question about repairing a split in the DD vinyl.
      I got an older Dollfie Dream head, and when I put it on the body, the hole area of the head developed 3 small splits. If I leave them alone and never remove the head, will these splits continue to get worse? Can this be fixed?
      Thank you!

    2. Yes it can be repaired, I have had that happen to me as well and I don't remember the product's name that I used at the moment but I will check when I get home in a few hours and post a picture of it.

    4. The same thing happened to me last year and after asking around I was recommended this product called plastic welder by another lovely community member. The color was a pretty good match for SWS (not that it matters since it's inside the head) I purchased it from Amazon here.

    6. Sorry for the delay there, this is what I use and I love it.
      It is called Liquid fusion and is a clear urethane adhesive

      It drys to a flexible but firm consistency like the vinyl itself and is a clear with a faint tint of yellow color but that could be because my bottle is older .
      I have repaired over 5 vinyl heads that had neck hole cracking and it fixes them perfectly :)
