All this hangs out in my Storage Space For Pony Restoration Supplies:
- Soap
- Conditioner
- Toothbrushes
- Soda crystals (soda crystals and boiling water are my Answer to Everything, from rusty insides to general grime)
- Rit hair dye
- Fine tooth comb (for tangly hair)
- Small Mason & Pearson hairbrush (also for tangly hair)
- Plastic toy hairbrush (for non-tangly hair)
- A big box of assorted hair :)
- Rehairing supplies: pliers, wire, penknife etc.
- Glue, and some swarovski crystals for G2 eye replacement
- Milliput (modelling stuff that's good for replacing missing parts)
- Hairdressing supplies: straws, clips, ribbons, etc.

....Phew. LOADSA PONY EQUIPMENT! :)

I love doing restorations and customs, almost all of this stuff is things I use for various other purposes (I'm an artist and generally have quite a mix of hobbies) so there's no real 'pony box of tools' or anything, just bust out the usual ones.

Cleaning Bodies:

- Soap
- Magic Eraser
- Acetone
- 3% Peroxide
- Q-tips
- Cotton Pads
- Oxiclean (So-Softs)
- Various Bottle Brushes (Including a tiny one meant for cleaning out piping tips as my other half is a cake decorator)
- Hemostats (For removing hair)
- Prying tools (For removing stubborn heads without damage, usually I use the back side of an x-acto blade)
- Old toothbrush

Cleaning Hair:

- Shampoo
- Conditioner (Aussie brand, which is just what I use on my hair)
- Toothpaste (Colgate Total, personal brand of choice, great for rust stains)
- Drinking Straws/Bobby Pins (For Curls)
- Rat-Tail Comb
- Sharp Scissors (only for that rare disorderly hair)

Repainting:

- Acrylic Paint (I favor Liquitex brand though don't necessarily use it exclusively)
- Acrylic Interference Paint (TEs)
- Satin Acrylic Sealer
- Miniature Brushes

Rehairing:

- Zip Ties
- Dental Floss
- Leather-Working Needles
- Thimble

Other:

- CLR (Rust removal from washers for instances where the someone wants the washer saved)
- Rit Dye
- Apoxie Sculpt
- Gel-Control Super Glue (I almost never re-glue heads, but sometimes if there's too much damage to the neck ring, so be it)

Dolly Hair as a hair source on re-hairs, I don't have enough ponies or collect heavily enough for donors, generally.
