I will give it a try and see if that helps. At current it is a very -slow- bleed, which is the annoying part lol. I get my hopes up that it has stopped only to find, no, it hasn't lol.

I've also heard people suggest boiling a dyed object again with a little vinegar. Does anyone know if this works?

Thats what I was affraid of, lol. The plastic feels soft to start with so I hate to think that I would ruin a perfectly good blind bag pony but I guess in the name of science I'll have to give it a try, lol.

Customs / Two Questions About Pony Hair

« on: January 18, 2012, 10:37:10 AM »

I have had too many questions lately, lol.

Just two quick ones; I dyed a pony using black rit dye a few weeks ago to prep it for a custom. Flash foward a few weeks; the dye is bleeding out of the head plastic and back on to the plate. So I made a hair plug and just did one and let it set; sure enough, the hair started to turn black as it sucked up the dye. I haven't sealed the head yet, and the body isn't doing this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what, if anything, fixes it?

Secondly, I'm in the middle of making a custom Lyra from FIM and I have never done that kind of hair styling before, with the bangs and the short hair. Anyone have any tips for styling it? Thanks!

Customs / De-glitter?

« on: January 17, 2012, 07:51:07 PM »

I finally got my hands on a blind bag glitter Rainbow Dash, but the problem is I never realized the glitter was on the outside of the blind bag ponies; I always thought that the glitter/sparkly stuff was mixed in to the plastic so that the figure was smooth. So I was wondering, has anyone tried to take the glitter off of one of these things yet? I'm affraid acetone will be too harsh, but I don't know what else would maybe work well. The last thing I tried to de-glitter failed DX I want to customize the Dash, but keep that nice transparent blue that she's made out of.
