Quote from: WaterRaven on January 05, 2017, 08:59:32 PMBut now that I've read that the brown spots are most likely caused by a fungus, should I halve her around my other ponies? Will the fungus spread? He says that fungal spores are everywhere, and if the humidity goes above 70%, it will attack the vinyl. It doesn't really matter if there are already stained ponies around or not. The vinyl provides a substrate for the fungus and it feeds of off the plasticizer. What we call smooze can also be caused by fungus, and another type can cause the pink stains that are common on vinyl.

I wonder if coating the hair in petroleum jelly would protect it during peroxide soaking? Or some other substance? Of course then the question is would the petroleum react in any way with the peroxide? I really appreciate this thread, as I love to clean items but have often pondered the implications of "restoration" and long term changes they might cause. I don't have any clear answers, of course, but I do worry we might look back one day with regret on various fixes that seemed harmless at the time. I think these discussions are great and I use them to help guide my cleaning practices.
I am looking forward to trying the peroxide bath method to get rid of her brown spots. again!

Just make sure to read about the side effects before trying it: http://www.mlppreservationproject.com/materials.html#HydrogenPeroxidehttp://www.mlppreservationproject.com/body.html#CancerI use it all the time with good results, and am behind on updating my results on the site, but it does cause damage to the hair and fading so you want to be sure the pros are worth the cons each specific ponies' case.
What is happening here - does anyone have any ideas? Would a peroxide soak be able to make a difference?
