The Best Online Reborn Help Forum!

The first 2 dolls were Berenguer that I wrote about earlier today, they were Berenguer done with A.S oil paints. Although I thought I was cleaver when I did them now I feel it was just a cheap way of teaching a new craft and none of us were any of the wiser. I wish now it had been with the Genesis that is talked about on the forum, and I wouldn,t have wasted my money buying all the colours, I would have bought Genesis from the begining. Now I have inks which aren,t to bad but I am going to invest in the petite set of Genesis. You can strip off old paint using Goof Off or Aceitone but do it uhnder the directions, also if it,s a harder vynal you may have to make a rice or wheat sack to heat in the microwave so you dont break to many needles on rooting the head.June M  

You may also want to contact Robert Toner to see what his dolls are made of. I know that Genesis doesn't recommend using their products on plastic because of bad reactions. And even though the head and limbs might be vinyl (or a vinyl/silicone mix) the torso may be plastic.

In any event Genesis says their paints should not be used over or with other brands or types. So I agree, do some checking before starting her. She is very pretty and looks to be in top notch condition and I would hate to have something happen to her.

Also as Loves said, you can't bake any type of acrylic hair (modacrylic) as it will either frizz, melt, or possibly start a fire!
