Some work in progress photos to illustrate how I\u2019ve recently done reroots on dolls with holes in their heads (2 barbies with scalp holes for hair\/crown gimmicks) and now a monster high clawdeen with the animal ears removed.<\/p>\n\u00a0 Some work in progress photos to illustrate how I\u2019ve recently done reroots on dolls with holes in their heads (2 barbies with scalp holes for hair\/crown gimmicks) and now a monster high clawdeen with the animal ears removed.<\/p>\n
E6000 glue placed inside the head via the neck and from the outside of the holes. It\u2019s self levelling so I tape over it and leave it to dry upside down for over 24-36h (anything less and it\u2019ll stick to the tape when you remove it and you\u2019ll have to add more glue. These aren\u2019t thin strips of glue but probably 5 – 7mm globs. It\u2019ll need another 24h to be safe to reroot.<\/p>\n
I used a very sharp exacto knife to remove any excess bits on the edge of the holes as it could easily start to peel and pull off.<\/p>\n

The glue grabs the needle just like vinyl does so it\u2019s good for a tool method reroot.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like to layer on the scalp paint too thick (if I use paint at all) to better see the existing holes. The glue patched earholes show up as slightly darker but they\u2019re completely hidden in most hair styles.<\/p>\n
I recommend painting over the earholes to be totally opaque when rerooting a pale skinned doll such as Catrine, or if you\u2019re using nylon which is slightly translucent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
