Mounting putty? What kind?

Post by Sis »

I've heard that you can use mounting putty for paci's on reborns. What kind of putty is this? Where can I get it? Thanks!

I was told way back when if you use mounting putty to tell the customer to not leave the paci on the mouth for long periods of time. It has a greasy base that leeches off onto the reborn doll's mouth area after a while.

Hoonestly I would prefer not to have a paci included rather than a putty one. I rather not have goo on my baby's face.

I have used poster putty on my dolls with no issues at all. If any of the tack is left behind on the lips when I pull off the paci I just lightly roll or punce the ball of putty over the lips and it all comes off. I've never had any issues with staining or any paint coming off. My AD charlie couldn't get a magnet in her head because of that shell thing in the head so I use poster putty pacis with him all the time. I am also going to have to do it with the reborn I bought from DEDS last summer as I finally got around to trying to glue a magnet in his head but because of the shape of his mouth it just wasn't working.

^^^^^What Krystle said!! Sis, I don't know if you have a Hobby Lobby near you? The last time I was in the one near me, they had some on the end of the Coloring Aisle. The one that has the Paint by Number/Color by Number items in it. They carry the Yellow and also the White now. If you can't find it, ask a Manager, if you get no where there, let me know.

This is the Yellow, however, the white is not much different, it is White

I actually just need the putty for sticking electrodes on the tummy plates (cause I don't want to actually stick the adhesive to the plate!) I hate goop on the mouth, too, but I think it might be okay on a tummy plate. :D
