Heh. I tried all that weird stuff in an attempt to get the smoke smell out of a piece I bought off ebay right after I started collecting. Nothing worked.
So, I just set him on my dresser, which is right under a fan, and kept the windows open during nice weather. You’d never know he was from a smoking house now. It just takes time and some fresh air.
I chose the mother dragon for Pink Flamingo as she has that incredibly elegant shape to her, similar to that of a real Flamingo. And iIf I didn’t add the orange, it would not have been Pink Flamingo. No black, no Pink Flamingo. She’d have been Pink Blob. And that wouldn’t have been right, nor an attractive title for an ebay piece. 😉
And I dig the color scheme; despite not being a big fan of pink. But when you add orange, neat things happen.
Your quote sig looks oddly familiar. >.>
Well, you certainly need safety glasses, but it doesn’t have any dangerous fumes. They recommend gloves, but it’s not going to burn you like a conventional stripper. =)
my experience with removing paint is that its a huge hassle, a pain, time consuming, and almost impossible to get paint out of some crevaces in some sculptures (not talking about PYOs here).
Just remember that once you start stripping a piece – you MUST finish or it will look a ton worse than a little dulled detail – painting over half stripped sculpts makes for some very obvious lines, like peeling skin 🙁 its not pretty!
I’ll second that. I go over the pieces I strip with a fine-toothed comb. I use a dental tool to get out any tiny little bits in the cracks that may have been left behind…and after I basecoat it, I go over it again, because some things just don’t show up until you get some paint on them.
Huh. I’ve stripped multiple pieces and they’ve never appeared harmed to me. What are you guys using? o_O;
Heh, he doesn’t even have his tag, either. >.> I’d be tempted to sell mine too, if Ruby wasn’t the only color I like the Sun Dragon in. XD
Well, I never was any good at reading signatures. >.> I couldn’t tell if it was a P or an R…and when Pam said that, I just assumed she was implying it was her. o_o
