    She is so much prettier. It is amazing how you did that. Her eyes are still so gorgeous and with that outfit it makes it even better

    You've restored Caroline to new condition! I would like to see videos breaking down your process with a list of products that you use. Your video is inspiring me to try this.

      I've had a few comments asking for supplies used and videos breaking the process down, so I'm working on tutorials that will be coming in the future. I'll try to cover everything I can think of- let me know if there's anything really specific that I can answer for you in the tutorials and I'll make sure it's in there. You can do this!

      Mia is so pretty. I love her eyes and freckles. I don't find her in bad shape very often- I guess that's a good thing? I'll be on the lookout for her so that she can be featured in the future. I come across old Kirstens more often so I'll try to get her in a video too!

    Even if this was 1 year ago you did and excellent job! I’ve watched other videos like this and they did not do half the effort you put into this doll which is amazing! The finished product looks so much cleaner and better, especially when you showed the picture of the feet before and after you can really tell a difference! Great job!!!

    This is really inspiring to me! I am currently fixing up the WORST dolls I've EVER done. They're so bad, they're skin looks black because of all the dirt, they they are Joss and Maryellen so they have really light skin.

    I am looks so much better after you fixed Caroline and put new hair cleaned her up with different clothes she looks much better all she needs is some sandals on her feet and that’s it the rest of it looks really good I like the hair it made a huge difference

      @theallamericangirldollchan5487  Před 3 lety

    What products do you use? Where did you get the stuffing, wigs, etc...?

  • @mishti06
    @mishti06 Před 8 měsíci

    Great video, but may I suggest it would be far far more helpful if you slowed it down a little and told us what you are using and showed some details (eg, re stringing, what grit sandpaper you use etc) as well as showing people who don't know, that you have to expose the acne cream to ultraviolet light. Some people may not know that. Less speed....more detail. But its very entertaining and outcome was great. These are just suggestions😊

    Does using the orange gloves or other colored gloves leave a dye transfer stans while working on the doll?

  • @nameofsoundtrackchannel7370

    Hi may I know what supplies did you use to remove the stains?
    I had a silicone baby doll that has plenty stubborn ink marks.
    Thanks in advance!

    • @theallamericangirldollchan5487
      @theallamericangirldollchan5487  Před 3 lety +9

      I use isopropyl alcohol for minor ink stains and 10% benzyl peroxide to remove deep set ink stains. These work really well on vinyl dolls. I haven't worked on silicone dolls before, so I suggest checking to make sure these chemicals are silicone safe before trying them out! I'm working on a tutorial series right now. Is a tutorial on how to do stain removal something that you would find helpful?

  • @dianamorris5327

    What did you use to wash the doll, and did you get a new wig.

    • @theallamericangirldollchan5487
      @theallamericangirldollchan5487  Před 3 lety

      Her stains were heavy, so I wiped her down with isopropyl alcohol. If you have light dirt and stains, soap and water can be pretty good at washing as well. Yes- she absolutely has a brand new wig. Thank you for watching and let me know if you have any other questions!
