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 for the tutorial!
I have 2 questions....
Boiling the parts in water won't deform the resin?
I have a bjd that has a VERY small dent on the side of her leg a centimeter or so above the knee. Would it work if I just boil the surface of her leg instead of submerging the leg in boiling water?

How do you intend to just boil the surface? And no, it will not deform the shape, as you can see in the tutorial

I take the leg part and place only half of it (the side with the dent) in the water. Will that work as well?

Ok, I'll try it! Thank you so much for your help! :3

No, not really. Since I have done it, and several other people have tested it. As long you don't leave it in the water for to long.

Well, hos du you mean re-shape the nose?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I've heard of people boiling the head and then - I'm not sure if this is correct - but gently smoothing and reshaping the nose with their fingers while it is soft. Have you heard of this? Do you think it would be possible?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That might work. It probably would. I have never done it
