How to Glue a Vinyl Doll's Leg

Repairing a vinyl doll's leg can be tricky. According to doll restoration professionals, regular glue does not work very well for repairs. If the vinyl is torn, specialists usually recommend replacing the leg. If you don't want to do that, try laminate floor glue, recommended by some professionals. You can buy it at a flooring supply store or from an online vendor.

Things You'll Need

Baby wipes or diluted dish detergent
Soft towel
1 small foam paintbrush
Laminate floor glue
1 butterfly bandage

Instructions

- 1
  Clean the doll's leg, either with baby wipes or diluted dish detergent and a soft cloth. Take care not to get any water inside the doll. Let the leg dry.
- 2
  Apply the glue to the end of the paintbrush. Brush the glue along the tear in the vinyl leg, leaving a light coat of glue. Make sure you coat every side of the tear.
- 3
  Apply the bandage across the glued vinyl to hold the tear together while the glue dries.
