Question: Silkstone repair help

Posted by Dino on January 27, 2023, 10:56 am

Hi everyone,

I recently received The Interview Silkstone. But she arrived with a very loose head and a chip at the back of her head. I'm not sure what I can do to repair her. I added a rubber band inside the neck knob which helped with the head being wobbly. Anyone have any better suggestions?

Thank you, Dino

Try the grape trick to hold the head on. To fix the head I would use Liquid Fusion.

You take a small fake rubber grape and you put it on the stem part.....

These are 1/2-inch soft plastic grapes sold for home decor. With a sharp blade, ............ three slits in the opening to make the grape go over the neck tiddly. Wet the grape with ............ and push the head over the grape. Pinch the body part of the neck together so it ............ to me is that the neck articulation using the grape appears to be better than when the Barbie first ............ to work with beads) will help in retrieving the grape from the again freed head.

I bought one with a wobbly head, no chips tho. I wrapped the head knob with the Teflon tape they use for pipe connections. It worked for me

Thank you for the idea.

Idea, but I don't know how it'd work...

Remove the head and add some epoxy to that chip, then file it to fit. Paint it to
match and use the hair to hide it. Only you have to know?

Thank you Paul, oh I could never do that. I don't trust myself lol Thank you though :-)
