When you just finished playing in your pool toy suit and itโs laying in the shower waiting to be cleaned and you decide to get back in an hour later because you might as well ๐
@mikeinflat32@InflatableD333@SqueakyRawinu@TheTazinas Of course Iโm going to take it personal. When I have had 100% success with the method and time has shown that it indeed works and there is a mountain of evidence and you say it destroys the material when I have so much data over years of time to prove otherwise.
@mikeinflat32@InflatableD333@SqueakyRawinu Hey @TheTazinas any any who this person is? Iโm trying to help someone with restoring a Flausi and they are arguing up and down that the method we both use doesnโt work. Iโve got 6 years of stuff Iโve softened that is still in great shape
@SqueakyRawinu I should add that in the video I sent you on how to soften the toy, those ratios of 1:10 or 1:15 or 1:20 actually came from Dirk, the owner of horseplay toys who was also starting to experiment with softening toys around the same time I started. He is a good friend
@mikeinflat32@SqueakyRawinu 6 years and lots of happy people who still have their toys around and not having to throw them away because the material turned hard and we restored it to its original state. Any extended life is a win
@mikeinflat32@InflatableD333@SqueakyRawinu ๐๐คฃ you keep thinking that people have to throw their pvc away when it turns hard and Iโll keep helping them keep their toys out of the landfills.
@mikeinflat32@SqueakyRawinu I have softened hundreds of toys for other people for 6 years now. When I started, I consulted a friend of mine who is a chemical engineer and researched the compatibilities of primary and secondary plasticizer compatibility.
@mikeinflat32@SqueakyRawinu But one important thing is that youโre not โreversingโ the migration of plasticizer. Youโre replenishing it. Once you displace it, there are foreign oils in the material that need to come out first. Then you have to replenish what is now missing.
@mikeinflat32@SqueakyRawinu Sorry I do not agree with this because I have done it successfully for years and the toys I have plasticized even 6 years ago are still soft now.
@mikeinflat32@SqueakyRawinu If you keep getting skin oils on it daily, youโre going to have to keep removing them with a degreaser like dish soap and then add back in the plasticizer that was displaced.
@mikeinflat32@SqueakyRawinu The pieces I have from 6 years ago went hard after they were left with skin oils on them for months. After adding plasticizer, they are still soft now 6 years later but Iโve not worn them again and not put more skin oils on them
@SqueakyRawinu Youโre so welcome! I hope you get it back to the way you want it. Only do tiny amounts because it takes days to soak in unless you speed up with heat. But itโs really easy to over do it and once you over do it, the seams all start failing so be very careful
