Can I finish my reborn doll in the oven at 130 degrees with a stitched body attached

Can I finish my reborn doll in the oven at 130 degrees with a stitched body attached

This is my first reborn doll and I am using the genesis heat set paints but the kit has the body already stitched on, so was wondering if I can paint her and put the kit in the oven for the recommended time needed to set the paints.

reborn doll with stitched body in oven? NEW
by: Sue

I have reborned play dolls with sewn on bodys and have had no problems drying the paint but in a halogen oven for 8 mins 130 degree setting each coat of paint. the thing you cant do is repaint and dry the paint on limbs with still the original fillings and weighting in as they are prone to exspand and split the vinyl. always remove the weighting and filling first in limbs before baking.

The body is stitched onto the doll and it's a kit? I have never seen anything like that before. Is it stitched like permanently onto the vinyl? Or is this something that you can clip the thread? I wouldn't put it in the oven, but maybe someoneelse would. I just know that after awhile the towels will get a bit scorched, but then again I use the same towels quite a few times. Maybe someoneelse has experience with this. Sorry hon I am not much help.
