So is THIS The RIGHT STUFF... Naphtha Head Shrink Question.

[TheVintageToyKid]

What are some examples of some popular existing large scale figures that would make cool Megos if you were to use Naphtha to shrink the heads to the appropriate size?

[MegoMam]

I'm fairly sure Coleman fuel is napath , check the ingredient list. That's what I used anyway on my original CA heads. Not certain the brand was Coleman, but it came in a red bottle and was BBQ fluid from Home Depot. It worked fine. I'm in Canada.

That sparks an interesting question have any Canadians tracked down Naptha? I've never looked.

Thanks, might it bring back the non matted condition too? That would be a bonus

Rooted heads work, but probably not flocked.

I was looking to shrink some heads, thinking OG Charlie’s Angels, maybe move to Barbie and GI Joe...
I can’t find naphtha, at least in Canada, tried eBay and Home Depot ... all I found was Coleman fuel and soap!
If I find it; will it be ok on rooted hair, or GIJoe?

It's working on the new heads that I'm soaking. Acetone is much more extreme, with the swelling and shrinking. Just shrinking is kinda boring, but it's probably way better of a method. You don't get to see how small the head is going to be with acetone. You soak and hope. With naphtha, what you see is what you get. Like the size, take it out and your good.

I finally got some a few days ago. Got some heads soaking...

[LonnieFisher]

I really need to get some of that.

[sprytel]

That will do nicely.

Bought this the other day and it was the only type of "Naphtha" My local hardware store offered.
