Pony Corral / To seal or not to seal?
« on: April 24, 2022, 09:05:13 AM »
So I have slowly been trying to restore some sad G1s and I decided to re-paint Peachy's extremely faded and rubbed away symbols.

I used basic watered down liquitex paint and was surprised to see that it dried to a semi-gloss.

Now the question is- do I need to seal the paint with a varnish? I picked up the liquitex satin varnish because I was expecting the paint to dry matte so I have it available. If I varnish- is it reccommended to water the varnish down too?

Thanks for the advice! :blush:

Introductions / Hello Again! Blast from the Past!

Hey pony friends!
I used to belong to the community many many years ago when I was a preteen/teenager (I am now 34!). I have been collecting since I was about 12. I mostly own G1s and G3s and have a few G4s. I recently opened my long tucked away collection and am unfortunately finding myself doing a bit of damage control. Most likely improper storage/ aging PVC . I've been trying to clean up my collection so I can keep them as best as possible for longer. I also have space now for a small display that perhaps I can rotate a few out seasonally.

I am open to any helpful information for battling pony age spots and proper storage tips!

For funsies I've attached an old photo of my collection circa 2004! (Check out that cool lamp I had!) :P
