The little hook in Reila's foot snapped, so she is currently footless.
It snapped so low to the base of the hook that it's impossible to get the remnant that's stuck out without gouging it out and then filling it in, only to drill a new hole for a new hook.

So what is the best type of epoxy/other material for filling stuff in? It doesn't have to match her skintone, as it'll never be seen.

Have you tried fake wood fill? It comes in a tube in a paste-like substance. It's a light brown color and won't harm your skin. Once dried, it's easily sanded. Jay had to use it when she made her keyblade for cosplay, so if you like the idea you can talk to her about it. wink

As long as it bonds with and won't harm the resin on Reila, that could possibly work. biggrin
I know there's some sort of epoxy brand that everyone reccomends.
I might ask on DoD if no one here can cough up an answer as to what it was. *_*

I'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for. You can even set the new hook in it while it dries so that you know it'll stay really well.
