zyczenn Posted September 10, 2024 In this video he is using V Color thinner to smooth out really small bumps. After looking around the only "vinyl paint thinner" I can seem to find is Vinyl Wonder vinyl thinner. Is this the same type of thing or are there any alternatives?

RozenGermain Posted September 22, 2024 IDK personally. In my experience water is perfectly fine as a paint thinner though. There are popular DD faceup artists that just use water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lossychan Posted February 6 I have been researching this personally ^^. However I don’t know much about chemicals, so I can only look at similar products. On EU site “Stardust Colors” there is “Sofubi Thinner”- This is thinner for soft vinyl paint, you may hear Tsutomu Ch. refer to “sofubi” or soft vinyl for the DDH. I believe this is very similar to any V-Color paint thinner. I don’t know if this ships outside of EU yet, but I will probably try to buy it eventually. For US, sites like Barlowes Tackle has 1oz bottle of vinyl lure and jig finish thinner. I believe this is for vinyl paint used on fishing lures, it may work the same ^^. The Vinyl Wonder thinner looks really good! I think it would work the same. I was generally looking for hobbyist uses of vinyl thinner as well, so I think it would work alright. I would probably test on something you don’t mind getting damaged first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cetuslupeedus Posted April 21 (edited) @rudebuster, my partner, is a customizer and has quite a bit of information about it. Ironically, she looks at the channel you linked for a lot of her instruction. @rudebuster's recommendations are, obviously, Volks's brand ZOUKEI-MURA Paint Remover eco, and Gaianotes's brand T-11r new Paint Remover R. Volks actually has a larger bottle in their hobby section, which @rudebuster just found out because it has a different label (ZM Paint Remover eco)—however, it can't be shipped outside of Japan; but if you ever visit, you can pick it up. She says Volks's is slightly better than Gaianotes's, but they're both relatively odorless and you won't get that strong acetone smell. You just have to be a little careful with Gaianotes's, because you can't use it on ABS (hard plastic, i.e. barbie dolls). For all we know, Volks's can't either; but that hasn't been specifically proven yet, so I can't tell you for sure.
