To begin the task of repairing a TPE doll, the first tool at hand is an infrared gun, usually 1.5 kilowatts. It’s convenient because you can see real-time temperature feedback. You can buy it on Amazon or any online store. Also, the repairs you make will vary depending on the nature of the damage. For example, if the damage is minor, the repair process will be simple and won’t require much effort or skill.

There may be indentations on your sex doll due to the weight. Generally, this type of indentation occurs when you press something heavy onto the surface of a sex doll. The same effect occurs when you position her incorrectly without paying attention to the importance of the correct position or posture. However, you can still relax and don’t have to worry because there’s a rule of thumb you can use.
Cover visible pressure dents with a clean, hot towel for a while. Next, put on gloves and pat the same area with your hands. Repeat the same action until the indentation disappears.
Hair dryer method
It seems that a hair dryer is a versatile accessory. While people think a hair dryer is only useful for drying wet braids, it also offers a solution for your TPE doll repair job.
First, grab a clean, damp towel. It is best to use a white cloth. Then, cover the indentation with a cloth and heat the surface. Continue the same process for some time. You will notice that the dents and indentations on the sex doll’s surface begin to fade away.
