I made a putty paci for Skya and it started to pull the gloss off her lips. It’s the white Elmer’s brand. What else can I use for a paci for her? Anything other than putty?
You can put in a magnet. I use Locktite putty for pacis and have had no problems. It is blue though, so hard to see if it is pulling something off.
I used e6000 for glue on magnets On the pacifiers, but now I always use the Hunnybee pacis…the magnet doesn’t touch the lips
Her mouth is a little open so a magnet would be difficult to place on the inside. I put the paci on and off a few times and it started pulling the gloss off like a sunburn would peel.
Maybe I’ll try the ear plug paci I saw.
I prefer magnet pacis. Maybe I will take her part and try to put the paci lower like near her chin.
For Skya, I just cut the pacifier so it’s a modified pacifier because her mouth is a little opened.
Do you have pictures so I can understand better?
I don’t have any photos, but I just cut half of the pacifier of a preemie sized pacifier or a NB sized pacifier and it fit in her mouth.
Do you mean the clear silicone nipples or the harder silicone type pacis?
Sorry I’m having a hard time imagining how to cut it.
Do you mean cut the tip of the paci off?
I cut off the tip and yes the soft clear silicone pacifiers, the small newborn/preemie sized ones
Ok gotcha. Thank you!
May I ask what gloss did you use?
I used this gloss without shaking on a few dolls and it was pretty glossy. I shook it well and used it on Skya and I’ve done a few coats and it’s not very glossy at all. So I’m confused about that.
You have to stir it, I learned that the had way like you.
First picture on Shyann I did one coat and it was this glossy. I did 3 coats on Skya to get them glossy and the first two coats didn’t even look much different. I don’t know if what makes it glossy was more concentrated at the top from not mixing it before using it.
I guess I was used to the shine from one coat so after I shook it and used it I’m like what the heck is going on. Lol
I use that gloss too and only need one coat but my bottle looks different. Mod Podge Satin works well too.
