Quick Answer
Use the Stringing Tool to guide new elastic cord through your Super Dollfie's body parts. This method avoids damaging the doll and makes the job much easier than using just your hands.
Why Use a Dedicated Stringing Tool?
Restringing a Super Dollfie by hand can be frustrating. The elastic cord often slips, twists, or gets stuck inside the body channels. A dedicated Stringing Tool solves these problems by providing a smooth, controlled path for the cord. It also reduces the risk of scratching or stressing the resin, which is especially important for older or delicate dolls.
Choosing the Right Size
The Stringing Tool comes in multiple sizes to suit different SD body sizes. If you have a Yo-SD or a smaller doll, the Stringing Tool for Head can also help with head removal. For standard SD restringing, the full-size tool works best. Make sure you select the correct size option when ordering to avoid a poor fit.
Step-by-Step Restringing Process
- Prepare the Doll and Tool: Remove the head using the Stringing Tool for Head (hook the S-hook, pull and twist). Then disassemble the body parts in order. Lay them out on a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Keep the parts in the correct sequence to avoid confusion during reassembly.
- Thread the Elastic Cord: Cut a length of new elastic cord about 1.5 times the length of the body channel. Attach one end to the Stringing Tool's hook or eye. Insert the tool into the body channel from the neck opening, guiding it through each limb and torso piece until it exits the other side. Make sure the tool passes through all parts without twisting the cord. A common mistake is pulling too hard, which can snap the cord.
- Secure the Cord and Reassemble: Once the tool exits, remove the cord from the tool. Tie a secure knot (double or surgeon's knot) and trim excess. Then pull the knot back into the body cavity so it's hidden. Reattach the head and adjust pose. Test the tension by posing the doll. If it's too loose or too tight, redo the knot. A good rule: the doll should stand without flopping but limbs should move easily.
