Sand The epoxy for Ioxi.

I found this amazing kinky natural doll hair from TheDollPlanetHair on Etsy and got a shien of it for Ioxi's re-root. I've never worked with natural doll hair before and it took me a but to figure out the best way to thread it onto the reroot needle. But once I got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing.

Decide where the horns should go and mark it. Then hit the doll with a thin coat of MSC so you can paint the headcap the same color as the reroot. You don't actually have to do this part, but I think it leaves the doll with a more finished look at the end if you do.

I took some air-dry epoxy for plastic and added it to the Cave Club doll's body. Ioxi is NB and suppose to be androgynous, so I wanted to remove that very Hourglass figure the doll had. Also they're a halfling, so adding a little bit of thickness to their waist and tummy seemed appropriate. I'll have sand it and paint it when it's done curing.

Use clay to make little horns for your party's dragon halfling. You can use p much any kind you want. I used sculptey because I already had some on hand which you just bake to harden. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Continuing to dip the disembodied heads into the pot of boiling water (to soften the glue inside the heads and keep the vinyl soft), use needle nose pliers and tweezers to rip out all the rooted hair that's left.

Hold the dolls heads/shoulders in a pot of boiling water for 20 seconds or so. The goal is to soften the vinyl heads and plastic neck pin so you can pop off their heads. Some people prefer a hairdryer for this.
