Some heads will start to or may completely harden around day 4 making it extremely difficult to remove the head from its knob or stick a needle through it. Once it does harden completely, yes, it's pretty much the consistency of a stone. What was once soft and malleable is now a hard, solid head. Some people have commented that you can blow dry heat on the head for a little while to soften it a bit, but I've never tried it.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-11646708176776800102014-02-25T23:10:04.113-05:002014-02-25T23:10:04.113-05:00I have a question why can't you remove the hea...I have a question why can't you remove the head again or reroot it or anything.

If you have a mark on the immediate surface of the vinyl you can try wiping it with acetone (100% pure or nail polish). If it doesn't come off after a few swipes, then it's not going to through acetone use.<br /><br />Supposedly (because I've never tried it), for a deep stain you might want to try Oxy 10 acne cream - or any other brand cream that contains at least 10% Benzoyl Peroxide. Apply it to the spot and put the doll outside for a few hours or under a bulb and repeat until the mark fades. Again - supposedly that works.<br /><br /> Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-43474461477583722732013-05-25T03:50:01.599-04:002013-05-25T03:50:01.599-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716046929026942247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-39766349312337406802013-05-05T01:22:29.281-04:002013-05-05T01:22:29.281-04:00Vita, if you can't screw the top on then I wou...Vita, if you can't screw the top on then I would cover it with plastic and a rubber band and sit that sucker outside. I'm extremely sensitive to smells, but even if I wasn't, I would not allow those fumes to permeate in an enclosed space. Even if you are used to the odor of nail remover, it's a bad idea to not have a top screwed on.

However, once you've done that you cant remove it again. Some say that you can heat the head with a blow dryer and then you'll stretch it enough to be able to take it off. I've never tried that though.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-63423682620608690412013-03-18T12:31:40.129-04:002013-03-18T12:31:40.129-04:00Fascinating!
