Question about neck rings and limb plugs
How in heaven's name do you know what size to buy? I am not, nor ever will be a reborner, but I have a couple of babies that I would like to attempt to re-weight and make it so their heads turn easier. Answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
Okay this sounds crazy. At another reborner artists suggestion I tried and this worked. Super glue around the groove in the neck flange where the ring would go. Of course let it dry completely before putting the head back on. the head turns as easily as if it had a ring.

Maybe this post will help: http://www.doll-fan.com/viewtopic.php?f ... s#p2919539
I sell the rings for 50 cents each plus postage -- usually about $2 for 4 rings. If you go to the BB web site you can get more information on the rings. They were originally made for vinyl reborns. I use them on my silicones - they must be tight around the neck.....but they work great. Hope this helps, Ruth

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
Sounds like a great idea....and will try it. Especially on the arms are just too small for the BB rings....thanks, RuthThe Lollipop Cradle wrote:Okay this sounds crazy.

Thank you Paula, I'm going to try that, at least I have super glue.

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
I used to use super glue too. It works great, but it burns my eyes too much when I'm applying it so I switched to air dry gloss varnish. I use the Delta Ceramcoat kind you can buy at craft stores. It works just as good as super glue!
Ruth, I'm hoping you can help me. What do you use to instead of a neck ring on silicone dolls that have full arms, if the arms are too small for the smallest size BB neck ring?

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
On my William Taylor I used some plastic egg rings I got from Tap Plastic - they worked fine. I am always on the look out for something that will work. I usually just don't tighten the plastic cord as tight so they will move -- have also seen paper rings (i.e. get a tube the right side and cut them to size) -- but other than that not many of my dolls have full arms. If you find something, let me know! RuthEmilyLauren wrote:I used to use super glue too. It works great, but it burns my eyes too much when I'm applying it so I switched to air dry gloss varnish.

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
If I wanted to order some from BB or somewhere, how do I measure them?

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
I use crazy glue and put it in the ridges on the limbs, I wait about 30 minutes just to make sure it's all nice and dry, and it's like a miracle neck ring!

Ok, that seems to be the consensus so I guess that's what I'm going to do! Thank you all for your advice!

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
I have 20 of each plug/neck rings and every month I take inventory and order more! Bc I find it vital to use the plugs in EVERY doll and there's no way of knowing what size you will need.

Re: Question about neck rings and limb plugs
This is an old post -- but I am wondering how using super glue or something else compares to using the rings -- since the ring sizes are limited. What are others using. Thanks in advance. Ruth
