Paint Repair[]
- For skin color, Liquid Acrylic paints can work if applied carefully. Read Crewella's discussion on BobthePleo forums.

Skin problems[]
- Cyanoacrylate/CA glue solves small tears, and skin rips. Make sure to find a glue that has no acetone in it or says "foam-safe". The wrong glue can make the problem worse.
- Consider buying a 'bricked'/'dead' pleo and skin it to repair skin on a live one. The skin comes off in three pieces (head, tail, body) and a very sharp knife carefully applied can tease it open. Then superglue everything back together. If the skin fails and the whole robot comes apart contact
