It really seems to vary from pony to pony how easily it comes off, even using the same method. Like I once deflocked a Skippity Doo with pure acetone and boy, the flocking just stripped off beautifully. A day later I tried the same stuff on a Paradise and she was having none of it!
I scrub and scrape under hot water to remove 90% of the flocking, then use isopropyl alcohol to help remove the rest of the residue. I don't use acetone at all because I'm a little clumsy sometimes, and I don't trust myself not to accidentally smear the paint. Some ponies take readily to deflocking and some you really have to fight with. Don't get discouraged if you get a stubborn one!Also, I hate to be That Guy, but as a PSA: please don't deflock a pony with only minor issues unless you're making it a permanent addition to your collection. There's a shortage of nice So Softs in this world; t'would be a pity to damage yours.
Thank you everyone! Would non acetone nail polish remover and 90% alcohol take place of the acetone? Were do you get that stuff anyway?
QuoteThank you everyone! Would non acetone nail polish remover and 90% alcohol take place of the acetone? Were do you get that stuff anyway? No, you would have a hard time getting it off without acetone. You can buy acetone from Amazon I believe? It’s also common in beauty supply stores. The isopropyl alcohol is only good for really getting the fiddly bits off on top of symbols and eyes. It’s still quite hard work but it doesn’t take the symbols off like acetone does.
Thank you for letting me know! I watched a video and the girl soaked it in oxy clean and hot water and then did the acetone. Do toothbrushes work well for scrubbing??
