Pony Corral / couple quick questions about pony hair and heat
« on: December 03, 2018, 08:12:43 PM »
sorry if these have obvious answers but it's better to be safe than sorry

first, when defrizzing a pony's hair with a flat iron, what is the maximum recommended temperature to heat the iron to without it damaging the hair?
second, would wetting and then blow drying a pony's hair on low heat help set the hair better for curls/whatever hairstyle i give it?

i really appreciate any answers on the subjects, thank you

« on: April 21, 2018, 09:23:31 PM »
hey, i recently got back into pony collecting and found quite a few of them in an antique mall, and i was wondering what i could do to help restore them? (sorry if this is in the wrong forum, it's been a long time since i last visited this site)

cheerilee here has a lot of scribbles on her forehead; what would be the best way to eliminate or at least lessen the pen marks?

these little fakies and mcdonald's toys are crazy frizzy - what would be the best way to help fix that? i've used the flat iron method in the past for frizzy hair, but i'm not sure if the hair on these is made of different stuff, and i'd hate to accidentally melt them because of it

last but not least, light heart seems to have what might be glue sticking out of her tail? not sure if just plucking it out would be the best idea or what? additionally her hair is pretty messy; what would be the safest way to clean her off without threatening to get water stuck inside?

any help with these would be super appreciated!

I've been working on my first custom pony and she's all done save for rehairing - but I have no idea how! I've looked through the internet and seen countless tutorials and I don't know which one I'm supposed to choose! Could someone please help?

Customs / Painting a pony
« on: February 24, 2012, 08:19:35 AM »
I've been working on a custom pony lately, and I'm just about finished with her - just need to use some Sharpie to touch up the eyes. One question, though...is there anything you can put on the paint to make it so it won't come off if it gets wet?

Moving to customs for you :) OL1

Pony Corral / Some newb questions
« on: February 20, 2012, 08:16:59 PM »
Alright, so I've been working clearing the tail rust from a couple ponies and now I just need to glue their heads back on, but which kind of glue should I use to reattach them?
And also, what kind of paint do you use to repaint ponies? I'm hoping to make a custom G4 Snuzzles (my first custom also!) and I don't know how the whole painting process works. Could someone please help me out?

Pony Corral / Interesting thrift store find
« on: February 20, 2012, 02:56:09 PM »
Today I checked by the local thrift store today looking for ponies, and while they didn't have any, they did have an old book from G1 with Firefly and a couple of kids playing on a beach. I didn't get it, but does anyone know what it is?

Pony Corral / Diamond Rose and Cherry Pie found in Target!
« on: February 15, 2012, 06:03:46 PM »
So I was shopping in Target looking for a cooling stand for my laptop, and I decided to stop by the pony aisle. Leafing through the singles I noticed both Cherry Pie and Diamond Rose! :biggrin: I bought Diamond Rose and I plan on getting Cherry Pie next week. The accessories she comes with are so cute. She even came with stickers! Just a heads up for those who might be looking for them!
