Thatās the one I have, and I still canāt get it right!
I am truly sorry ladies if I have offended anyoneā¦That was not my intentionā¦I honestly did not realize reborners are using buckshot for weighting these days or I would not have mentioned itā¦There is a slight difference in BBās verses buckshot - not just the size but the type of coating used on them so I was referring more to the small buckshot and not BBs (I honestly didnāt know anyone used BBs at all so I guess I need to come out from under my rock and look aroundā¦lol - so I apologize if my mention above was offensive - it was just meant to be instructional so that people could see what can happen if the wrong products are usedā¦)
Not that it matters but just a little bit of info if you do intend to use BBs for weighting - Stainless steel is basically just an alloy steel meaning some form of steel mixed with chrome. The chrome forms a protective layer over the metal and the amount of chrome used has a direct effect on how well the stainless steel item holds up to environment. There are many different alloy mixes but to be āstainlessā it must be some form of steel mixed with chrome. Many of the shiny BBs are actually a steel alloy covered with a zinc coatingā¦Copper coated BBās corrode much more quickly than the othersā¦
Putting them in the rubber gloves might work great? Mostly, I just wanted to say, I did not mean to offend any oneā¦
Ultimately, each reborner has to do what they feel is best for their dollsā¦

LOL I only do the late late shifts at work, I tended to run into walls when asked to do an early start. I was a danger to myself. But it seems that almost everyone else prefers the early shifts so ā¦works for me.
@Missly21 When you sleep how long do you sleep for? And how about you @westernstarr??? I go to sleep at about 3 am butā¦ I like to sleep til at least 9! Beauty sleep is not overrated!!! I soak up all I can get!!!

We are the sameā¦lol I hate morningsā¦Even when I was a manager, I would schedule myself for the night shift so rarely worked morningsā¦It is funny, I can sleep 4 - 5 hours during the day and go all night but if I go to sleep at night - not only does it take me an hour or longer to drop off, I could sleep 10 hours and still wake up so tired I can barely see straightā¦
I sleep 4 - 6 hours usuallyā¦then about once every 6 month I crash and sleep about 10 hours - then Iām good to go for another 6 monthsā¦lol
