Updated: Solution to Yellowing Dolls and Resin Eyes (updated 2020 with Picture)
Meguchi posted a topic in Care and Repairs
While searching the web for a way to remove yellowing for my one of my doll made out of PVC "Libidoll", I stumbled upon this video on youtube about restoring plastics to their original colors or state. I was hesitant at first but I eventually bought the product to test it out. The formula is called Salon Care 40 creme starting from 1.99 ~ 6.99 at your local Sally's Beauty Shop. UPDATED WITH PICTURES (2020 restoration) My Salon Care 40 expired from 2 years ago and I'm having a hard time finding Sally's that's still open near my location (every store either closed down or temporarily closed due to the pandemic) while I did try to use it to restore some of my yellowed eyes and obitsu parts.....to my dismay it didn't work (I did expect this since it was already way past it's shelf life). So this time I just used a regular hydrogen peroxide 3% to restore em' Process usually takes about half a day. For best results, preferably during a bright sunny afternoon with no cloud cover. I just used a regular ziplock bag and an 8 ounce bottle of hydrogen peroxide (do not skimp on this every part must be submerged or covered in H2O2. I cannot stress this enough) before restoration you can barely see the yellowed smudge on the leg but it's there After the treatment| I removed circled one half-way the treatment as a reference.... (I shouldn't have included said eye for a better example of before and after) As you can see it's already back to it's original state and the obitsu legs looks brand new! BELOW THIS PART IS AN OLDER RESTORATION OF MY AL AZIF Before After I'm not sure if you can tell by the picture but the color between the head cap and the actual head doesn't match anymore Full restoration Thanks for reading, as I have mentioned before feedback will be gladly appreciated if you try this. -
Hey everyone, So today I discovered that my Miku dollfie's right thigh joint had snapped in half. With AX right around the corner, I'm trying to find a quick solution to get her back in decent shape and was wondering if any sites might have a replacement piece available? Pic related, it's the snapped joint and the piece that came off it. Her body is the DDIII body, by the way, that's probably very necessary because I don't want to get a part and find it doesn't fit, (though who does?) Much appreciated! Thanks!
