I decided it would be fun to deflock this nasty SS Cupcake I had. Boy was I wrong...
I bought some varnish remover (it comes in this spray can) and sprayed it in her leg to test. I left it on for 5 minutes, then tried using a Q-tip to rub the flocking off. It didn't work.
So I repeated the procedure and left the varnish remover on for 10 minutes. This time a teeny bit of flocking came off.
So, I decided if I boiled her in hot water first the glue/flocking might loosen up. So I boiled her, put the varnish remover on, and let her sit for 10 minutes. I had better results this time, but still, hardly any flocking same off. So I used the side of a nail file to scrape it off. This worked even better but left scratch marks in her plastic
So, I decided to try using just a ton of nail polish remover (w/acetone in it) and a Q-tip. I rubbed for about 10 minutes in a 1/4" area and the glue barely came off.
Now I have an even worse SS Cupcake than before and there isn't a spot on her that is completely flocking or glue free! What am I doing wrong?!
