How To Change Doll Eyes On A Spanos Doll?
Permalink   

smileHi there,
My name is Marie and I am new member to Secrist Doll forum.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to change the eyes on a Fayzah Spanos doll? So many of them are made from acrylic and seem to fade quickly. All Spanos doll's except for the very older kind are made from hard vinyl. I would like to mention that the neck of these dolls are sealed with vinyl. Once the wig is removed, I have discovered a cap on top of the doll's head. This cap does not screw on, it has a film of plastic around the edges, what I believe was glued onto the edges of the hole or cap to keep in the cap in place.  Also, I am not sure what tools or glue I will need to glue the eyes and cap back with? Lastly, if possible, I prefer no to use heat, that is, hair dryer, oven or boiling water, if possible. I have a spare Spanos head that I would like to experiment with. I need help with this difficult task. Or if you're already an expert, I will be happy to pay for the service
Many Thanks in advance,
Marie.

I can tell you how to do this if you can get me a picture of the top of the head without the wig on, but showing the pate (this is what the part covering the hole in the head is called). And what do you think it's made of? For porcelains its made of buckram, is this one plastic or something?
