Can I use hairspray and nail varnish remover on my BJD?

As in, using the nail varnish remover for taking off face up paint and the hairspray for sealing the new face up.


Will it seal it, or do I need to buy a proper sealant ?Can I use hairspray and nail varnish remover on my BJD?
No.





And I am assuming you are asking about a real strung resin BJD, not a 21-27cm Obitsu or Volks Dollfie.





1. Do not use acetone nail polish remover to remove a faceup. Use tons of clean cotton balls, do not drag paint around. Paint can stain resin and you may not get it all out. Worst thing is to use a dirty cotton ball. Try rubbing alcohol first.if that doesn't work well enough, try Winsor %26amp; Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer (that exact product - very strong, never use for an actual brush cleaner when doing a faceup). I got mine at the craft store (Michael's or AC Moore). Last thing to try, if nothing else works is 100 percent non-acetone nail polish remover with no colors, moisturizers, etc. When done removing the faceup, wash the head well with mild dishpan liquid, rinse thoroughly, and totally air dry.





2. You need to coat the head before and after doing the faceup. Hairspray won't work. You need a very fine matte clear lacquer spray. The best one to use is MR Super Clear Flat or MR Super Clear UV Cut Flat (both can usually be found online at http://www.plajapan.com/ ). Second best is Model Master Clear Lusterless Lacquer Overcoat (maybe a real models-type hobby store can order it for you). Worse third choice is Testor's Dull Cote which you may find at a craft store - many more complaints and problems with this product. These products are extremely toxic and should really be used with a gas mask. Do Not use indoors. Use outdoors, on a still day that is as warm as the directions require (may be 65F or 75F - not sure). Wear protective gear, stay away from pets and people, do not breath it. Apply a light coat to the dry clean head (removed from the body and I usually prop the head on a handmade foil holder). move as you spray, always starting and ending the spray off to the side of the head and passing over it. When you start to see any hint of gleam, stop and wait for that coat to dry (I usually bring the head in to avoid dust and dirt). When dry, take out and do a second coat.

Then do your faceup with non-oil products. Most use thinned acrylic paints and soft/chalk pastels (not oil pastels). Some use watercolor pencils for fine lines.





Then carefully repeat 2 coats of the clear lacquer.
