Hi all!!


A new tutorial is up!

Some pointers to be aware of!!

:pointr: Be careful not to burn your self on the boiling water

:pointr: Only use white or beige towels to let the parts cool of on. The resin will stain very easily when it's soft.

:pointr: Be careful handling the resin when it's hot. It gets soft and will easily scratch of get dents.

:pointr: Have good ventilation, since the resin will start to smell a bit when you are warming it up.

:pointr: How long you boil the parts depends on the parts thickness. I had them in the water between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. On the bigger parts I had them in the water till they started to smell, I then knew they had got a nice boil.


I really hope you will learn something from this :)
If you still have questions, feel free to ask, after checking out my FAQ please :heart:



And thank you all for the love you have been giving me this week! It have been amazing! :huggle:

If I boil my dolls head, will I be able to reposition his nose a bit?
I really want him to have more of a tip-tilted nose. Do you think that could work or should I sand it instead?

You should be able to re-positioning the nose if you boil it yes. Just be careful :)

I've done the fingers on one doll

Now I'm steaming the other dolls head. C: the blue stain came out with a little arm work and now its time to get rid of that nose issue!


I'll let you know how it goes (:

Ah man sorry xD It turned out great, His nose popped right on out and is in the normal position, But the resin was like one layer down to where I could peal off resin. o _o... His faceup looks a bit more powder like now too. :I Oh well, I got the outcome I wanted C:

Welp, It totally helped!

It looks liek the top layer of resin was broke off if this makes sense but the bottom layer popped right on through (:

I just bought a doll that has a "Shmush" in its nose? Not sure what it means xD He will be here in two days (: Do you think that if the resin were pushed down or flattened that steaming would help? He has a faceup as well. The faceup is about 5 yrs old so I'd like to preserve it x3
