The magnet that attaches my dolls headcap has come out - does anybody have recommendations on what to use to reattach the magnet? I'm guessing it will need to be some kind of strong glue, but I'm not sure what glues are suitable.
Thanks!

I've had magnets fall out in my MiniFee and Puki's hands. My friend also has a Dolkot whose head cap magnet fell out. We just used some super glue. Depending on how the magnet sits in the head (like whether it slides in or just has a shallow hole it fits into), you can give the magnet a thin coat of super glue and set it back in fairly easily.
Just be careful! I put a magnet in the wrong way once so it ended up repelling the other half. It was a bear to get out again -.- So make sure you're glueing the right side!
The super glue I used was cheap- I found it at Walmart and bought the cheapest one I could find ^_^

Thanks! I've glued it back in with some industrial strength glue that one of my friends (an engineer) had. I also marked one side of the magnet with a sharpie to make sure it went back the right way. It looks like my sweet boy won't have a head that falls off anymore!
I should use it as an opportunity to restring him, but I kind of like the way he poses when he's a little loosely strung - he manages some gorgeous natural looking poses.
I do need to add some super glue to my repair box though in case it happens again.

I also had that problem with my B&G Leile's head. I also made the mistake to put the magnet the wrong way too xP
But I use normal white glue =O
It sticks really well and if I make a mistake I can just put her head under hot water to take them off again....

Wanna draw me ? Draw one of my OCs instead =D
Any on of them will be fine by me =D
