A practical repair kit keeps maintenance straightforward and less stressful. Essentials include silicone-safe adhesives, a small silicone patch kit for surface repairs, and a fine-grit sanding block for smoothing minor scrapes. Stock a selection of color-matched pigments for touch-ups, plus a reliable sealant to protect newly restored areas.
Tools that enhance precision are valuable. Include micro spatulas, scalpels for careful material removal, and precision clamps for holding parts during curing. A clean workspace with disposable gloves, alcohol wipes, and lint-free cloths helps keep repairs hygienic and controlled. Spare joints or connectors, if modular, reduce downtime and extend the doll’s lifespan.
Documentation is a key companion item. Maintain repair logs detailing what was fixed, materials used, and the date of service. This not only tracks durability but also informs future fixes. Finally, safety notes about using adhesives and chemicals responsibly serve both the caretaker and the doll, ensuring repairs are durable and safe over time.
