Question 1

What type of mask should be get for using this? I've seen a few of here and ebay, can someone point me in the right direction please?

Accepted Answer

a Half Face or Full face mask with Vapor respirators.
Do not use a dust mask this will not protect you and the vapors are highly toxic only vapor respirators can be used
just never breathe it in it will seriously wreak your lungs.

Question 2

Hello, what kind of cartridge/filter etc would be best when using a 3M Respirator mask for working with this toxic stuff? Thanks

Accepted Answer

The strongest and smallest particle filter you can find... you want to totally block breathing this stuff.

Question 3

I can’t seem to get this to build up the tooth everyone talks about on my dolls, am I missing something?  Barely get any color down and it’s smudgy.

You are most likely using this in a really humid area above 70% humidity. Always check the weather because it tells you. If you are in a particularly humid place, aim for 55% humidity and below because these reports can be inaccurate. Also, try using this in a outdoor shed with a respirator (one of those hazmat radioactive mask thingies) and the door open. Never ever use this product indoors because not only does it stink REALLY bad, it also lands on any surface that you spray it around since its airborne. It will turn white and powdery as it dries and its not fun to deal with please don't try it. In the shed try covering stuff with a plastic sheet so the spray doesn't ruin anything around it. Also let it dry for a good 30-45 minutes to be safe, and let it dry outside unless you want to stink up the whole house.

Once you stop building up the pigment you need another layer of this spray.

If its too smudgy and nothing else is working try spraying less and from a distance of at least 1-2 feet away from the doll. Don't hold down the button, instead do quick spritzes all over the face, holding down the button for a maximum of 3 seconds each time. The face of the doll should look damp and visibly wet but the liquid should also be visibly evaporating. If its not, then you've sprayed too much.

Don't use it in temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius or 86 degrees Fahrenheit and don't use it below freezing. It is less sensitive to the cold than to the heat. If you live in a place where it gets extremely cold or extremely warm that can also be an issue as is living close to the sea because humidity levels skyrocket.

If none of these things worked, I wish you the best of luck, and maybe you should just try thin or soft acrylic paint and Liquitex matte finishing.

Question 4

To fix a doll repaint, can we use a matte varnish or watercolor fixative instead of this product? Unfortunately this doesn't ship to my country.

There are other sealants you can use but you'll get mixed degrees of results as well.  Mr. Super Clear is by far the best and it can be bought through other vendors, just google and you'll find them... also, there are good articles, a multitude of articles about repainting vinyl dolls from people that have tried various products...  you can also google... a good one that has experimented with other types of sealants is No Nap Time or http://www.nonaptime.com/2013/07/supplies-for-repainting/  Good luck!
