Bts Dolls - Blog Posts
So tumblr ate my post.
ANYWAY
Acetone doesn't work. Maybe soaking it might've, but I didn't want to risk shrinking/warping the head to find out.
A dab of Winsor & Newton brush cleaner, on the other hand, works very well. Even made it easier to magic eraser off the remaining bits. :)
Wonder if the gloss was what was resisting the acetone or the sort of paint they used. Maybe both.
Got the BTS dolls V and Jung Kook since they had the closest faces to the characters I'm going to use them for. Ordered them online since I didn't care that much how off the paint placement was but still a little sad I can't salvage much of it. LA's Totally Awesome did a good job getting rid of whatever product was in their hair, tho.
Tried to remove V's face first. Took 20min with a magic eraser just to get that much off his eye. :/ The rest is on the eye surface and underside of the lash line, so I'll just paint over it.
Luckily his lips seemed to only be two paint layers deep, so it took only a few minutes.
Will definitely be getting more of these boys when they go on sale if only for the sculpts alone.
Acetone doesn't seem to work on this paint (rather, it didn't work as quickly and I didn't want the vinyl to start absorbing it), so I tried a dab of Windsor & Newton brush cleaner. It works so well, it made it easier to magic eraser off the bits left behind. Makes me wonder if the gloss sealant was resisting the acetone or just the sort of paint they used. Maybe both.
