I was using e6000 to glue my rooted hair in. I used some aleenes glue with the e6000.
- Is there another glue to use?
- How long does it take for the glue to dry? I put it in Sunday night. Is it a way I can speed up the drying?

Put it in front of a fan to dry quicker.
I use Gem-Tac. Sometimes (if I’m in a hurry) I roll up some construction paper into a cone, stick the little end in the neck hole, and put a small fan at the other end. It seems to help get more air inside the head and dry the glue quicker.
I don’t know why my brain didn’t think of that. I thought about a dryer, but thought that would make it melt. Thank you.
Thank you I’m gonna do that tonight.
You’re welcome, it works overnight for me.
I think you can dehydrate the glue if you have a nuwave often. I saw Kim from custom doll baby do it.
Edited to add: I think the setting was 1 or something like that to dehydrate. Glue dries within hours.
Oh ok, I’m gonna go, and check it out. Thanks
I use gem tac and often stick the head in the nuwave. Wet down the hair and bake for the normal 9 minutes at 265 then let cool and bake again. Then if it’s not completely dry it dries the rest of the way overnight and I assemble the next morning. Before I used the nuwave it would take like 3 days to dry it was awful!
Thanks, yes it does take days to dry. I’m gonna do the fan tonight. If it’s not dry tomorrow, then I’ll do the oven tomorrow.
I use Liquitex Matte Gel or Ultra Matte Gel. I used e600 at first but it pulled the hair out as I was putting it in. I let it dry overnight in front of the fan.
I use Modpodge but it takes a couple of days to dry. Ive used the tacky glue as well but thats even slower.
Your welcome. It drys pretty fast.
I use gem tac as well and put it on a fan.
I’ve had 2 heads in front of the fan since last night. I’ll go check them in about an hour.
Maybe use the cool setting on the hair dryer a bit…
I use Allene’s Tacky glue and if I’m in a hurry I use a blow dryer on low heat with the head lying on its side and the dryer about a foot away. I used to use the E6000 on the hair but it had such a chemical smell to it. Now, I only use it to glue the eye flap and the magnet for the pacifier.
I too use the Liquitex Matte Gel, it dries quicker than any of the others.
I use a hair dryer on low heat. I situate the dryer where it blows right into the head for a few hours. Works great )
