Question about Dollies and glue.
« on: September 20, 2016, 05:35:17 AM »
So today I had a small incident and fell while carrying my AI doll Moss, ended up landing on the poor little sweetie. :(
Discovered a short while later that I had cracked/broken one of her fingers, it's still attached a little bit but could fall clean off at any time probably and it breaks my heart. My question is what kind of glue would be safe to fix her since she's made of ABS plastic and so far everything I've found online has had suggestions of welding, using epoxy (which isn't possible for me right now), or types of glue that melt and re-solidify her plastic  :blink: None of those sound like good solutions to me but I really don't want to risk her finger falling off and getting lost and I can't just box her up until a later time as she's my little therapy dolly and need to have her out and about.
Is regular super glue okay for these little ladies, or should I use elmers or my lo-temp gluegun? Any help would be wonderful thanks!

There's superglue that's meant for plastics... I usually use loctite brand gel superglue. I've used it on similar plastics with no problem.

Thanks so much! I think there may be some of that in my mums stash of crafting supplies so I will have to check later. :)

Any super glue that's plastic safe is fine for fingers
