eye question
I know this should probably go in Creative Play, but wondering if anyone knows.....can you use 20 mm oval eyes in a kit that asks for 20 mm eyes? I just wondered if they would fit in the sockets the same way?
Thanks in advance!

Re: eye question
In my experience, it depends on the sculpt. Some eye sockets will not accept the oval eyes, although you may be able to insert them after heating the vinyl. I have never tried heating the vinyl, so not sure if that will work or not. Hope this helps...

Re: eye question
Thanks...it would be for the Crystal sculpt by Donna Rubert sold by Bountiful Baby.....I hate to buy oval eyes if they aren't going to fit but the price is soooo good!
Re: eye question
Hi! Why don't you PM Bountiful baby on here to ask about the eye? Maybe that would help?

Re: eye question
I have had the same question about another sculpt. I wonder why they don't tell whether the kit can take oval or only round eyes?

Re: eye question
I think all kits now days have round sockets, but just FYI, oval eyes are measured the long way. For example, if you have 20mm oval eyes they are 20mm horizontally and a little smaller vertically. Also, the iris of oval eyes will look the same size as the iris in one size smaller round eyes. So there will probably be too much white showing if you put a 20mm oval eye in a 20mm round socket, unless you are using a German glass oval eye with the large iris which I'm not sure if they make those?

Re: eye question
I have used oval glass eyes ...they are not as thick..so I usually put a wad of cotton in the socket firrst...I insert mine from the front while the vinyl is hot...but Crystal has very ROUND eyes..I am not sure they would work on her

Re: eye question
I have a pair of oval eyes I bought YEARS ago as I can never get them to work.
