Eyelashes glue for Silicone
Julia has been naughty! i told her not to rub her eyes but guess what she did? Claims hay fever!
As a result one of her eyelashes has come away on one side - just about still attached on the other side. Trying to stick it back with eyelash glue has not been a big success (lasts about 1 day). So should i be brave (on her behalf - after all it wont hurt me) and pull it off altogether then stick it back afresh with something that will stick it to silicone? Or should i get some new ready glued eyelashes and try them? Or some non ready glued eyelashes and use something like Sil-Poxy? Super glue sounds a bit permanent not not too sure about that. Any thoughts, horror stories or better still, success stories welcome. |

Acetone acts as a solvent towards superglue so superglue is not quite as permanent as you may think.
It's also useful for ungluing protestors from highways... |

Works well on TPE, not sure on silicone.
Best glue I've ever used. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001C42J9I/ |

Interesting, i found a lot of advice about sticking to TPE but not really anything about sticking to silicone.
I don't want to be the first to find out that super glue (or acetone) dissolves silicone. |

I#ve had eyelash problems forever with Kimberley and found once an eyelid has come off its really hard to reattach because it becomes very firm and hard to shape. Usually i put a new eyelash on and they go on much easier.
I've used evastick to attach eyelashes. A small coating on the lash and eyelid. leave to become tacky, then attach eyelash. Sticks immediately and hardens quite fast. Permanent though and may leave a mess if you're not careful. I wouldn't use it on a doll, only on the third party eyelid... |

You have to remember, these lashes used by the girls manufacture and replacement ones you buy from shops/online are only really a temporary thing. Just like the nails. So after a few uses, they do weaken and get brittle or stiff with the glue.
Primark has a lot of lashes, they cheap, but work well and some of them look more realistic in length as well. |

I've only had to reattach eyelashes once in 2 years using regular eyelash glue, and they've been good ever since. Must be a silicone thing.
Super glue will certainly do the trick, but as I found out with my first doll, it's very, very unforgiving if your motor skills aren't quite as precise as they could be, so caution required. |

Mr Flibble (aka "Hunt the Shunt" on TDF) had success with using Micro Kristal Klear on both a TPE and Silicone doll. Hope no one gets angry with me posting a link to a TDF: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=148601 The great thing about Micro Kristal Klear, is that if you make a mess with it (Mr Flibble made a big mess, poor Jennifer's face was all covered in the white stuff), it just peels off. It took a couple of attempts with his Silicone Piper Jessica (had to hold the eyelash in place for a good two minutes.) Mr Flibble is such a klutz with these tasks. There was glue all over the place!
