Usually the original vinyl body is replaced with a soft stuffed and weighted body. What do you use in your bodies?

ive got the hang of the painting and rooting but im at a loss with how to weight the baby!!!any advice would really seriously be appreciated!

i have fibre fill,baby fat,tiny glass beads,small glass beads and steel shots!

first!how much fibre fill do put in?if i dont put enough in when i pick it up under the arms like you do...i can feel the neck etc..so i filled more but then it looks stuffed!!

also where do i put the baby fat and do i put it in pop socks????

i tried to weight the limbs with steel shots they turned black!so had to empty them and wash the limbs out(took ages)....and when i put some in a bit of a popsock in the babys belly it sunk straight to his bumb!!

i just dont know how much of each filling or what filling to put where help help help :S x x x

I use the tiny glass beads in the limbs and fill 1/2 to 3/4 full then top with fibre filling then seal and glue the ends with the plugs that come with the kit,
I fill pop socks with polly pelets or baby fat for inside the body and fill with the heavy fibre filling, a pop sock with glass beads and fibre filling to weight the head then glue and seal with the plug.
