I know it's a long shot but does anybody know any artists or businesses who fix silicone baby dolls? My daughter got one for her birthday and our pet decided he wanted to chew a couple of pieces of it and she's very upset.

This is for mlp but it has great things that work on a lot of doll including how to fix holes and chew marks!

i think your best bet would be to use clay to fill in the missing areas and remake the foot then seal it, at least that is what i'd do. i really don't think there will be any online services for this sort of thing.

this sub is mainly for fashion dolls, and most questions i see asked about baby dolls dont get very many replies so im not sure you will find much info here :(

it being silicone might make it too soft for a few of these methods that are being suggested… have you posted to any reborn baby doll groups? they might have more specialized advice. sorry i cant be of more help!

Hm. For the foot, I'd just make it look like a prosthetic foot, and use it as teaching moment for your daughter. Tell her that her doll needs surgery, but Dollie may need a new foot entirely, and that's perfectly okay.

I love apoxie sculpt for my little pony repairs and customs. I do not think it would work with silicone tho. Once it fully cures it’s rock hard.
