Repair Tan IpleHouse, Repair Work

I just received a 2015 Tan IpleHouse Leona as a gift and had no idea her condition until she was home. Shes 100% legit, Box, papers, certificate. But her condition was pretty bad. Shes discolored all over and her face is pretty bad but I'm not sure whats paint stain or resin discoloring? Than she has these horrible scratches on her arms and legs, and those are something I really dont want to attempt sanding :\ if I'm honest I figured id turn them into scars, but idk. I want to give her an OxiClean Bath so freaking bad and at this point I figured what the heck would it hurt? (so I'll probably do it). But I am so curious on how Tan deals with an Oxi Bath, I see posts about how you need to be careful cause you dont want to damage the resin, but no post about results. Im also tempted to dye her but could I do that AFTER she goes through an Oxi Bath?

I am happy to say I still have the little IpleHouse stamp for her head, I'm excited to put it back on once shes all cleaned and put together


Update: 4 days worth of Cleaning and it seems like her face will remain hazy. If her lady parts look weird its cause I pretty much had to reconstruct them from previously being covered in apoxie. I'm pretty Sure I want to dye her at some point (Got to find someone within my budget or who really wants to experiment lol), curious what kind of dye colors would take well? I'll hopefully figure out what kind of character she'll/they'll be, a warrior perhaps.

 

Thats probably the most helpful thing someone has said regarding the bath and tan resin
Her Face was covered in white acrylic (Im assuming) paint when I got her. Shes on her 4th cleaning now, and I pretty much use everything under the sun. I normally find Doll cleaning to be a bit therapeutic but this girl really takes the cake. Her Lower region was probably the worst cause the former owner had put apoxie over her private parts to make it smoother and her hip joints were filled with what appeared to be dried wall putty. And I dont doubt they were meant to look like self harm scars, but thats a subject I'm not going to cross with the previous owner, when I get her cleaned further (I hope) I will definitely try the boiling method in hopes it'll smooth em out, even by a lil. This girl was put through the ringer and it seems in turn shes taking me fir a ride with her.

I will defiantly try the baking soda method. I never heard of that one being used but it makes sense it would work

lol Thats the plan so far Want to get her all cleaned up and fixed up to the best of my ability and Hopefully a story can fall into place for her

 

Update, More cleaning and sanding. Decided on modding and loving how its turning out. have plans to dye her a deep red color, kind of demon like. working on making a tail for her thats going to work with a magnet (thus the mark on her tail bone). The self harm marks are very deep and stained somehow in the resin so I was able to clean up most of the rough damage done so at least they are smooth, and the crack in her elbow is finally fully repaired. Also took the opportunity to sand her seem lines. Looking forward to working on her more ^-^

 

Well the self harm scars are here to stay on her, some were just so deep and stained they refused to go.
The previous owner is a dear friend of mine and I'm sure she was sense I know she has scars of her own which she is very self conscious about, So the repair work I see as a way of the scars finally healing sense they would have to be completely covered by apoxie in order to 'remove' them. Her lady part was just made to look flat with apoxie, like a Barbie. I was very glad I was able to remove it without damaging the sculpt underneath
