    My mother use to keep her dolls clean with butter and she would rub them down until they shined. Sadly, all her dolls are gone and I had to start my own collection. If the cut is deep, you can use a little wood filler and touch the area up with matching acrylic paint. I do, however, like the idea of pastel colors to do light restoration.

    This helps to mask cracks but doesn't prevent from further cracking

    Oh my! I just bought a papier mache doll from 1830. She has a great deal of cracks and problems. I am going to try this method on the BACK bottom of her shoulder plate as a test. Thanks for the tip!

    How can you use a liquid cleanser without rinsing. Won't it get sticky. The doll i have is severely crazed. I was wondering if a thin layer of resin would be ok to use. I'm not interested in restoring, im not selling it. I just want to keep it from falling apart.

    It would be really nice to know what she means by “household cleaner.” It would likely be a liquid right?
    How is that better than water?

    • @gloriahanes5338

      I went to another video and someone was using a product called "Go Jo" which is a hand cleaner, I hope this information helps.

    if its that badly cracked i just repaint them, sand it smooth or just remove the paint completely (depending if paint is lead if its lead i just chip everything away)

    Oil pastels never completely dry, so I'm wondering if dust adhering to the patched lines is an issue

    Don’t we have to worry about lead contamination with chipping paint on pre70’s dolls, and especially the really old ones from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s? What kind of household cleaner is she using?

  • @dodo-ur5tq
    @dodo-ur5tq Год назад

    Ok idea but that wont stay put and rub off. Is there some sort of sealer that you can spray on the
    face that will keep the skin looking smooth without the cracks reappering over time??

    My mother was gifted a Peterkins peekaboo display doll when she was a child. Recently shes been gifted to me. Im afraid the cracks are too frequent and severe now for fixing this way. I have her in my room which isnt too hot or cold but now im really worried about further cracking..(you can see the cork under her scalp poor thing)

      Taylor I like how you assumed that it would be an all purpose and antagonized someone for asking for specifics. You have issues you should look into how to fix em while your looking up how to fix your dolls

  • @gloriahanes5338
    @gloriahanes5338 3 года назад

    Never, ever put dolls in the attic or the basement two areas which will destroy dolls. Try to keep them in a box with tissue in a climate controlled environment. If you have a glass display case, this would be ideal. Never store composition dolls in plastic bins and remember these dolls need lots of care.
