    Acetone Head Increased?

    Tried to reduce the scale of a Breaking Bad "Jesse" (Titan) figure by soaking it in Acetone. The head doubled in size. I soaked it overnight. Did I soak it too long or does it depend on the material?
    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

      And sometimes it will continue to shrink for months.

        Thank you, gang! I was about to throw the head out. It might be worth casting it when it gets to the right size.

          I have been having very good luck with naphtha... and recently ordered a Titan head to test out whether it would work on those too. We should compare notes. I'll let you know once it arrives.

            That sounds promising. I will give this a week and then try Naptha too! As Emcee and Thunderbolt predicted the head did go back down to its regular size once removed from the Acetone.

            Ugh. The things we do for Breaking Bad figures.

              The naphtha was a bust. How did the acetone do?

              These heads are not as squishy as most vinyl heads, so I'm not overly optimistic.
