My new Scrumptious deflocked finally. New pic.

I had a SS Taffy at one time that I had soaked in Oxy. When I jasco'd her to remove the flocking her paint smeared. I've noticed this connection. I have successfully used jasco to deflock many other ponies that I had not oxy soaked. I haven't used oxy on a pony for over a decade...

When I deflocked my Best Wishes I just boiled her in water and scraped with the edge of a dull teaspoon handle. It took 3 hours (though, some of the hard-to-get spots were already bald) and she turned out fine without the use of chemicals.

Which Jasco?  This is why I'm confused.  Jasco seems to be a brand of different products.  I hear don't use acetone on symbols, use Jasco, but there is a Jasco acetone.

Which Jasco?  This is why I'm confused.  Jasco seems to be a brand of different products.  I hear don't use acetone on symbols, use Jasco, but there is a Jasco acetone. 

If you want to use Jasco, the stuff to get is their "Premium Paint and Epoxy Remover" but be warned that it is pretty nasty. 

Nightglider, that's all I used as well.  And I always kept rinsing with water so the acetone wouldn't stay on long.  My rubbing alcohol was 70%, and I thought maybe it's not strong enough.  I work at an animal hospital, so I checked our alcohol at work to see if it's stronger, but its 70% as well.

I wonder if rinsing her so often is what made her eye paint go funny? Since ponies are porous, if you have acetone soaking on the vinyl and then follow that up with water, that might actually drive some of the acetone deeper while rinsing. If she absorbed acetone into the area around her eye, it might have ever so slightly dissolved the paint from underneath, loosening it from the vinyl. Just a guess. Either way, it's generally easier and safer to remove excess acetone via evaporation. Although that may be a big ask if you're doing this outside in Georgia! Hopefully you have a fan!

As far as alcohol, 70% is plenty strong for disinfecting and whatnot, but for glue removal you're going to want 90%. Anything less is probably going to be pretty frustrating. (It's too late now, but as a future FYI, rubbing alcohol is also a very common remedy for lipstick stains, although be sure to blot, not rub! )

Thank you BlushingBlue on the kind of Jasco.  I was very nervous but it worked!  It didn't even further damage Ribbon's injured right eye.  With a little white paint she'll be right as rain.  I can't wait to display her with her non-bbe baby! 
Sadly, after deflocking Scrumptious, she has a few brown age spots.  And I'm still kicking myself for rubbing the lipstick into her plastic on her forehead, but she'll display well too!
Here they are:

Ooh, they are looking wonderful! 

[Safflower]

They look gorgeous! Glad you are getting them finished

[BlushingBlue]

Congrats! They look great!

They look great! I wish we could get Jasco here in the UK, it would make deflocking so much easier.

I have deflocked several ponies and used the onyx acetone nail ponish remover from Walmart. I just tried to be extra careful around the paint. Looks beautiful, I have always wanted to deflock a Scrumptious!

They both look so gorgeous, congratulations on overcoming the peeling paint challenge! I can't wait to see them ready for display.
