so to keep my ponies in tip top shape i realllyyy want to go ahead and eventually remove/replace all their tail washers. i know the basics of how to do it, i think, just not certain details & i'm a little anxious about the process.
basic supplies i would need would include (white/clear) zipties, an x-acto knife (for removing the head) & some tweezers for taking the tail out... and probably some kind of glue to hold the head back in place. (any brand suggestions?)
i'm wondering, how has this process gone for others? i didn't see many videos on youtube showing how to replace their washers. are all G3 tail washers made out of metal? or are some a different material?
when cutting through the neck- how do you not accidentally ruin it? and/or if the pony has a moving neck is it any different?
i love my G3's but always worry about ruining them during this process. but if i don't go through with it the tails may end up becoming rusty after just a few washes, and then still be ruined.
i do want to buy a lot of fakies just to do some practice (i was suggested this and dont know why i never thought about it before) so that might also ease my nervousness
sorry if this is in the wrong thread! i appreciate any help!
