Deflocking without Harsh Chemicals?

[Vampasaurus]

(sorry if this should be in customs~)
Are there any guides/tutorials to deflocking without using jasco or acetone floating around? Has anyone really had success with like Super hot water or anything like that?  I thought I recall a thread on the old arena about this, but I'm drawing a blank.  Pic are very welcome!

People have managed to safely deflock a pony with super hot water and rubbing alcohol, it just takes more time and plenty of patience.

It depends on the pony, and the quality of the glue that was used. I've had some too stubborn for acetone, and others almost deflocking themselves in my hands while I was GENTLY cleaning them with soap lather and lukewarm water. If you happen to find one with really weak glue, I'm sure the alcohol could work.

I've had success just using rubbing alcohol. It takes some time and patience, but (to me) it beats using the harsh chemicals. Plus it doesn't seem to affect the symbol/eye/blush paint.

I agree with this. It really depends on the pony. I've had some who have taken me days or hard, hard work, even using paint stripper and acetone, while others will come clean after a hot bath. I don't think there's a really *reliable* way to do it without using chemicals.

This hits the name on the head perfectly...it completely depends on the glue. Some ponies just need hot water and some perseverance...others have clearly had the glue blasted on to them by a nuclear furnace and nothing but paint stripper or jasco is getting it off..
