Description
Hi all!!A new tutorial is up!
Some pointers to be aware of!!
Be careful not to burn your self on the boiling water Only use white or beige towels to let the parts cool of on. The resin will stain very easily when it's soft. Be careful handling the resin when it's hot. It gets soft and will easily scratch of get dents. Have good ventilation, since the resin will start to smell a bit when you are warming it up. How long you boil the parts depends on the parts thickness. I had them in the water between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. On the bigger parts I had them in the water till they started to smell, I then knew they had got a nice boil. I really hope you will learn something from this
If you still have questions, feel free to ask, after checking out my FAQ please
And thank you all for the love you have been giving me this week! It have been amazing!

Thank you si much! I haven't tried this yet because I'm such a terrified wuss, but I have a question. . .Should I be concerned of possibly putting fingerprints into the resin while forming it or not?

You have to push you finger hard in to the resin to be leaving prints in it

I was nervous too when I did it first time. But if you just take is slow and easy nothing will break

If I boil my dolls head, will I be able to reposition his nose a bit?
I really want him to have more of a tip-tilted nose. Do you think that could work or should I sand it instead?
π: 0 β©: 1
You should be able to re-positioning the nose if you boil it yes. Just be careful

I've done the fingers on one doll
Now I'm steaming the other dolls head. C: the blue stain came out with a little arm work and now its time to get rid of that nose issue!
I'll let you know how it goes (:

Pleased o! I'm curious how it will turn out!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah man sorry xD It turned out great, His nose popped right on out and is in the normal position, But the resin was like one layer down to where I could peal off resin. o _o... His faceup looks a bit more powder like now too. :I Oh well, I got the outcome I wanted C:

Great to hear that!

Welp, It totally helped!
It looks liek the top layer of resin was broke off if this makes sense but the bottom layer popped right on through (:

I just bought a doll that has a "Shmush" in its nose? Not sure what it means xD He will be here in two days (: Do you think that if the resin were pushed down or flattened that steaming would help? He has a faceup as well. The faceup is about 5 yrs old so I'd like to preserve it x3

When you say smuched, do you mean like, it fell and have been pushed in? In that case, yes, steaming would work

Last night I did my bobobies hands x3 It wasn't too bad. But it was scary xD
The doll also has a blue stain on his head, from a wig and its pretty bad. Will steaming him make it worse or make it seep down into the resin more or something? Thanks c.c
π: 0 β©: 1
I would try to get the stain first, but if that is not possible, I don't really know i'm afraid =/ It could make the stain seep in more, are loosen it and make it easier to clean =/ I have no idea!

Any tips to get the stain out ;3;? I have no idea how to come about doing it ;- ; Its a giant blue stain too e.e
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, you can try magic sponge/whiteboard eraser. It is pretty good with stains. acetone free nail polish remover is an other tip I have. And if nothing else work, sand the head.

One last thing
I'm hoping the Company faceup was sealed good, I knwo it probably is. He is a Cherishdoll from 09' I'm just worried about him being so old, is it just better to erase the faceup? I was really hoping to fix his dent and keep the faceup :c
π: 0 β©: 1
If you just steam the head, I think the face up will hld... I have not tried with face uped heads tho... But I have seen people do it.
π: 0 β©: 0
Have you ever tried boiling a head with the face up still on? my boys nose has a deep dent and I am trying to only fix his nose with out touching his faceup π: 0 β©: 1
You don't boil a head with face up, you steam it
π: 0 β©: 1
Do I put it at the tip of the opening of the pot or do I take off the lid? 030

What mold is your example doll?
Can this be done with all parts? What about heads that still have faceups?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm using a domuya venturo here.
You can boil every part yes, but I would not boil parts that is blushed. You can steam a blushed part, instead of putting the part in the water, you heat it over the boiling water, in the steam.

Sorry to bother you again, but could you point me to the Doyuma website? I can't seem to find it.
π: 0 β©: 1
There is no domuya company anymore. They went bankrupt so they don't exist anymore.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh! That explains it. I acutally just wanted to see what their sculpts were like, becaause your doll reminded me ALOT of a girl I have that I prdered second hand, and was never told the company to. I tried asking that person, but they got her as a gift.
π: 0 β©: 1
is the head not marked with a doll company and/or doll mold?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nothing...except for some bad flashing on the inside where it wasn't bothered to be sanded down.

Do you have a certificate of a original box?
π: 0 β©: 1
*shakes head* I hot her in a box that was origiinally for one of those American Girl knock offs. She didn't come with anything but herself,eyes, some putty, a little note saying thanks for the purchase, and a crap load of packing peanuts. She was in fetal postion on her side because she barily fit...
π: 0 β©: 1
So... there is no name inside the head or on the head cap? In that case... I'n so sorry to say, but your doll might be a illegal recast =/
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, she's not one of the crappy ones that makes people sick, and /I/ didn't buy her direct from rip-off company, so I'm not overly worried about it. I'm just curious to know what mold she as taken off up reguardless and if I can hunt it down.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, you might not boy her from a rip off company, but the person that sold it you might. There is a lot of fake dolls in the second hand market, and you can mostly tell it's a fake when you don't have any papers, the right box, or if the doll don't have any markings with company or mold in the head somewhere. I would say it's a fake one in that case. All companies I have heard of do mark their dolls.
