Im sure this question may have been asked before but I searched and was unable to find What I was looking for. I’m currently working on a custom baby for a little girls who lost her mom In a car accident. This is the Lilly kit. Half way thru I was not happy with the way my skin tones were goin so I stripped her. Yes, I’m a stripper The paint seems to have stained the vinyl is some places particularly on top of her head. Also the seems to be an indention on the top of her head that would make resemble a soft spot but it wasn’t there before. Is there someway I can bake and get the shape back to Normal. I’m afraid like this it will be a nightmare to root. Can I still bake with polyfil? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have another kit on hand I’ve considered just starting fresh with it.

By the way I use an oven thermometer to Verify oven temp for it’s not baking on too high a temp.
Are you using the extender ring on your oven? You have somehow melted your baby. This is easy to fix right now, although you might be stuck with the scorch stain. You should be able to neutralize it with paint. To reshape it, just stuff it tight with polyfil until it takes its right shape. Then bake it as usual (away from the element!) Wnen you take it out, let it cool completely with the stuffing still in the head. That should fix the dent.
I haven’t trie filling with water, couldn’t that cause mold? Also, try stuffing the head with cloths and then freezing it in the shape. Thats what I do! 8)
