Hello! So I have a Souldoll Angel that I got about a year ago from the company, I got her with a company faceup and I've noticed today that her head still smells like sealant. Is there a chance the sealant could be not cured? Or is it not likely after having been so long? I only noticed when I got really close to her to change her eyes. But none of my other dolls smell like sealant.
Are you sure it’s not resin you’re smelling? Sealant doesn’t usually retain a scent past the first maybe ten minutes out of the can, but resin itself can outgas pretty significantly for years.
I also agree with the commenter above. It's probably the resin itself that you're smelling. I've only come across one type of fixative meant for atr work, that stank to high h3ll even after months of having it air out. I've only worked with MSC, for sealing repaints, but the smell goes away after some short period of time. Resin on the other hand, it pretty much depends on the resin and how long you leave it exposed to the air. Some always have a faint scent, some are pungent at first, others are all over the place. Hope that helps, some. (:
Update: it was the eye putty! Whatever eye putty they use has a very strong chemical smell, I've never used that type before so I didn't recognize the smell. Thanks so much for your response! I'm so glad it wasn't the sealant or the resin and will probably replace the eye putty Thanks so much for your response!! I was having anxiety over it so this helps immensely!!
