Tears and punctures can happen, but quick, careful repairs prevent further damage. Start by assessing the size and location of the tear; small punctures are often fixable with a patch kit designed for the material. Clean the area gently before applying any adhesive to ensure good adhesion. Use a patch that matches the surrounding texture and color as closely as possible to keep the repair inconspicuous. For larger tears, you may need to reinforce the area with an internal patch or a sealant recommended by the manufacturer.

Temperature and pressure control during the repair process can affect the outcome. Allow adequate curing time after applying patches or fillers, and avoid heavy use until fully set. If you’re unsure about the repair, consult a professional or the product’s care guide for recommended procedures. Keeping a basic repair kit on hand helps you address issues promptly, extending the life of the doll and maintaining its realistic feel and appearance.
