Help - Blu-tack attack!

[Stormness_1]

Ok guys, I'm putting all my ponies away to make room for a nursery, and so I'm pretty much done, so super proud of me, and all that's left is bags and bins of baits and doubles I haven't cleaned yet, always figuring I'd get to them sooner or later.. but now I need to sell them, so they need to be cleaned, right?

So I'm cleaning away, and I pull out this Darling Dahlia... and she just seems a bit mucky, nothing a magic eraser can't handle... but she has BLU-TACK IN HER HAIR! EWWWW!

I have absolutely NO IDEA what to do with this... obviously why I left her in there in the first place - this must be the too-hard basket I never realized I had!

Help, anyone?!

Not sure if this is going to help but worth a try?

First thing I would try is freezing her, picking out as much as tou can, and then combing her hair with, say, coconut oil on the comb?

Yikes! I've never had to deal with this (yet), I hope it comes out for you.

Thanks guys! I've had her in the freezer for 24 hours, will find some oil and give it a crack - I might have some around here, I don't use it for cooking, but I do have some stretch mark and baby oil samples from baby expo yesterday, not their intended use, but might work? Otherwise I might have to pick some up.

Edit: She's almost done! I happened across some hair oil (Garnier Miracle Oil in case anyone has the same issue) in my bathroom cabinet and used that - it worked perfectly - the freezer did nothing to the blu-tack, it was exactly the same! The oil just melted it though, which was great, and I just combed it out. The problem now is that I need a finer comb, as there are still teensy bits in there... the one from my pony kit seem to have gone walkabout, so I'll have to pick up a new one tomorrow.

I'm glad to hear the oil trick has helped I'll have to remember that if I ever get a pony with blu tax in her hair
