Deflocking Paradise!

[lovesbabysquirmy]

So I had a relatively decent Paradise, except she needed a tail.  Not much flocking loss, reasonably thick, only a few dingy patches of glue.   I put her in some Simple Green to remove the dingy color as I have found it works on all sorts of things.  Apparently not So-Softs, as she went a slightly green color.  D'OH! 

So after about a month of hot water soaks and acetone wipes, and a box of Q-tips later, here she is bare-skinned:

With only a few rough spots of glue around her eyes and symbols, I think I did a pretty good job!

And after all that, she still needs a tail...  Poor thing!

So, did the Simply Green also help remove the flocking?

Lovely job, lbs!  She looks great.   And good to know about the Simple Green...

If you want to get right rid of the flocking round her eyes and symbols, super-hot water and the edge of a popsicle stick to scrub away the glue did the trick for some of my girls.  (I had previously used Goof-Off, but I guess I had just been darned lucky, as it brought the symbol off one of my baitier So-Softs , so I have relegated it to use for just on the body where no paint harm can be done.)  But that's just if you want to be pernickety; I think she looks dandy, and you don't see the stray flock/glue unless you go in really close anyway.

Again, fantastic job, and I can't wait to see her when she's re-tailed too!

She is going to look great when she is all finished!

Lovely mane! Nice job!

[Honey Bunches]

Nice job!

You have me inspired to do the same thing to some of my super-mangey so-softs!

[Saber-Toothed Crow]

She looks like she cleaned up pretty nicely

Does her hair match Sugar berry?  I think I still have a tail in decent condition lying around, and if not, I have a spare that I was wanting to rehair that I can send you the tail from.

No... Sugarberry's hair is the same as Gusty's red streak (can't remember the name of the color ATM...), and Paradise's hair is more "orange"...

I think I have an extra Paradise tail tho... if you'd like it. I have one that I'm customizing (some day) into Gusty as a G1 Pegasus... so I don't need her tail. Just drop me a PM if you'd like it!
