Magic cure for dirty dummy....

Ok so my practice head was super dirty and I just could not get her clean. I also made the mistake of using Wolfe black on her. OHHH needless to say she stained pretty good.
I tried softscrub with bleach, ajax and other abrasives oh and lots of elbow grease. None of it worked...
Now check out my girl. Oh so pretty again.

If you cant see the pic its in my album.


==Ok enough drama the secret as you probably see in the photo is Goof off (also known as googone.)
She looks brand new again. I just figured she couldnt look any worse than she did. I did make sure to wash it with soap right after the goof off, just so it did not ruin the rubber.
Hope it helps someone. Bye now.

100% acetone works too, Walmart has it cheep.

Just saw your gallery too...you have nothing to worry about in the real world, you live there! Great stuff. Love the butterfly with the yellow flowers, very nice!

Does the acetone or goof off work on the extra mask shell as well?

SOOOO helpful!!! Thank you!!

Yes, I use 100% acetone on my mask shell all the time and it takes everything off, even the most stubborn colors. Not sure about goof off since I haven't used that.

Oh, and daffyv, I love the design in your avatar!

I have the shell, the acetone works great. I think it was like 2.94 at walmart. It was Onyx brand.

I have never painted on the base head, always the shell. I am having a DUH momoment. I never thought of it. Mine came with the shell on, and so it stayed.

OMG!!! I cannot wait to get home and try this. Even tho the practice head still works fine for practice while stained, I have been wanting to use it for a few pics but couldn't because of all the stains (makes her look like a kid with mud splattered all over her face)- but if this works I'll be able to!!!! Thanks for sharing!
