Eyelashes glue for Silicone

[algaeholics]

Yup, as Mr. K says, don't remove it completely if you can help it as you have a baseline to work with.

Perhaps put a bit of greaseproof paper between the eye and the eyelash/lid whilst affixing.

I am aware that acetone will melt the plastic of WM eyes. Essentially, acetone and ABS plastics hate each other with a vengeance!

Was that a good tip to use the saucepan ? What about removing the eyeball to avoid sticking it as well ?

Advice much appreciated, thanks.

Sadly pulling a DS eyeball out is not a good option, getting the eye unit back in is tricky, can damage the silicone round the eye, and has a good chance to removing the eyelash again!

Thanks for tip. I was going to try Allie eyebacks in Spike but not now.

This is Spike. She's a DS167 with a Sinodoll S13 "Aurora" head which I drilled through to put a long eyebolt into the DS peg, so I could hang her up, as her feet were getting damaged even from the minimal amount of standing that she does.

Anyway, irony seems to be wasted on you lot.

The eyebolt has the unfortunate effect of making her head look pointy, which Revol was kind enough to paint over. I don't know how he did it, and he also wiped out the date stamp. In the "weapons" thread I tried to do this on the camera and only succeeded in getting the factory default, but have found the handbook and now know how to switch it off.

I was also able to open her mouth with a craft knife and found that there is an oral cavity although not advertised as such. Phil at TDH says S6, S7 and S17 have larger cavities.

Trust this explains.

My eyebacks are unlikely to be much use on a DS I'm afraid.

Hiya Tex,

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:

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!

Love from Miss K,

XOXO
