Do you need to take out the Pony hair before putting her in a peroxide bath?
Hydrogen peroxide and sunlight doesn't seem to be helping fade the glue stains on my deflocked SS Paradise Been out for 2 weeks and no difference. How long does it usually take to fade say pen/marker marks in hydrogen peroxide in the sun?

The less direct the sun is in your location, the longer it takes. Some people report it taking months in cloudy areas. The sun is very intense where I'm at and I can do it in a day or two, but many places are not that lucky. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen quickly when exposed to light, so if you're in a cloudy area and need to use it for an extended time, you may need to dump it out and replace it periodically. I don't think we know enough about this method yet to know if prolonged exposure puts the pony at a higher risk for bad side effects. If everyone keeps posting your results, I really want to learn more about what other folks are observing.

Might end up baiting her if I can't get the stains out
Is there any good mask that works for covering the symbol paint in the peroxide? - Masking tape? I haven't had trouble with symbols or hair fading (except for pink and red), but I've never left mine in the sun form more than a couple of days.Also I was told that glitter symbols are damaged by peroxide but you state above they are not, are you sure? - I don't think it never damages them, but very often they come out just fine. It probably depends on how good of condition the 30 year old glue holding the glitter on is in. I think heat is worse for them than the peroxide itself.Thanks! Nice working on this problem in parallel with you.
