Here's how to use the depigmentation cream:

Clean the dyed skin surface of the doll and dry it off.
Use a cotton swab to apply an appropriate amount of depigmentation cream evenly on the surface of the doll's dyed skin and place it. The longer the depigmentation cream stays on the dyed part, the better the depigmentation effect will be, and the depigmentation cream can be saved.
After standing for 12 hours, use a cotton swab or cotton pad to wipe off the depigmentation cream last applied on the surface of the stained skin.
Take an appropriate amount of depigmentation cream again and evenly apply it on the dyed skin surface of the doll, and leave it for 12 hours. Use a cotton swab or cotton pad to wipe off the depigmentation cream that was applied on the dyed skin surface last time.
If there is still color in the dyed part, please repeat step 4 until the color of the dyed part is removed.
After the dyeing is removed, please wash the depigmented part, dry the water and apply the care powder.

*Please Note:

Fading is a slow process, because the length and depth of dyeing time are different, and the dyeing materials and colors are different.
It is recommended to try applying the color remover and leave it for 24 hours before wiping.
This product does not contain corrosive ingredients, please feel free to apply it on the skin surface of the product.

Do not place it where children can reach.
It is forbidden to place it together with skin care products and cosmetics.

Soldering Iron Instruction Manual:

Use soap or water to clean the damaged area, use a dust-free cotton cloth to wipe off the water, and dry it off.
The electric soldering iron is connected to the power supply for heating. During the heating process, the electric soldering iron is placed on the ceramic or iron plate.
Heat for 1-2 minutes and the temperature reaches 220°C-230°C.
Use an electric soldering iron to heat the shaft of the rod, and iron it slowly according to the damaged position to flatten the damaged part. After the surface of the product has cooled, slap some renewal powder. (Due to the high temperature of the electric soldering iron, quickly remove it after touching the doll's skin to avoid scalding the doll. Then repeat this action.)
For products with dents and damaged products, according to the color of the product, select the TPE material with the same block color as the product color, and use an electric soldering iron to melt the TPE material. Flatten the damaged area. After the surface of the product has cooled, slap some renewal powder.

*Prohibitions and Precautions:

It is forbidden to touch the heating part of the heating rod of the electric soldering iron by hand during the heating and use process and before it is completely cooled;
It is forbidden to place the soldering iron on or near any flammable objects during heating, use, and complete cooling;
Note that the surface temperature of the electric soldering iron heating rod is too high after it is powered on and before it is completely cooled to avoid burns.
Note that the surface temperature of the electric soldering iron heating rod is too high after it is powered on and before it is completely cooled to avoid losses caused by burning.

Repair Tips for Soldering Iron Use:

Check the Soldering Iron:
· Before use, ensure the soldering iron is tightly connected to prevent any damage from it falling off during use.
Using the Soldering Iron for Repair:
· Use the pointed tip of the soldering iron to fill the TPE material into the torn or missing areas.
· Keep the soldering iron parallel to the skin surface and iron it smoothly from left to right.
· Use the body of the soldering iron rod (not the tip) for a smoother finish. Iron in one direction during the process to ensure an even surface.
Prevent Skin Discoloration:
· After each pass, wipe the soldering iron rod on a wet rag to cool it down and prevent it from causing skin discoloration.
· Place the wet rag on the ground (do not wipe with your hands) to avoid burns.
Practice Before Repairing:
· We recommend practicing with wheat-colored TPE material to hone your skills before repairing the doll.

Instructions for use of TPE glue:

Clean up the area of damage. Do not have any dust and moisture.
Use a cotton swab to absorb an appropriate amount of glue and evenly spread on the surface of the crack to be bonded. Immediately press lightly with your hands to fix it for 1 minute. After letting go, the bonding part does not bounce.
The adhesive strength reaches 60% after 30 minutes of bonding, and the adhesive strength reaches the maximum after 5 hours.
After the bonding is completed and more than 5 hours, it can be repaired by ironing with an electric iron according to the scars on the skin surface.

*Precautions:

When repairing armpits, thighs, or other splits, be sure not to use glue while the material is under tension. When operating these parts, it should be noted that the amount of glue applied is less than half of the normal.
Please operate carefully, do not drip the glue on the damaged part and the surface of the doll's skin, so as not to cause damage to the material, it is recommended to use a small area first, and then repair it after mastering the skills.
