Dangers of heating vinyl

Over the years the Art of Reborning has changed dramatically, with new techniques being introduced continuously, we find it our bound duty to inform Artists of the Dangers that can be associated with this Art form.

A warning about VOC’s being released from the vinyl has been present with our lessons for many years, and this information and warning freely shared, However today 4th February 2009 we have had it confirmed by an independent Artist that these dangers are more real than ever, we feel it is your right to have knowledge of this information.

An Artist had it confirmed last week at hospital that she is suffering from toxic vapour poisoning, which has slowly damaged her liver. After Doctors discovered she had raised levels of Toxins in her blood, they had her keep a full journal of her Reborning habits, her blood was tested on a monthly basis, and it has been found that the Toxins in her blood are raised with the more Dolls Reborned each month, they also found that Reborning the Ashton Drake dolls almost tripled her Toxin levels.

Doctors are advising that what effects one person, may not be harmful to everyone, they advise that a protective mask and gloves be used when heating the vinyl, and that this is done in a separate oven to the oven in which you cook your food, and the purpose oven is placed in a very well ventilated area. (As advised in our VOC warning).

Simply Reborn Limited advise that if you are heating vinyl;

*You NEVER heat vinyl in an oven which you cook ANY food for Human consumption
*You use a separate oven in a very well ventilated area… or
*You use a heat gun, outside of the Family home
*You wear a protective mask whilst heating the vinyl, and in the vicinity of where the vinyl has been heated.
*You take every precaution possible not to expose family members to these silent and invisible fumes.
