Endoskull Roll Call...

[YaKoStar]

Can anyone sum up everything one needs to know before getting started with cleaning a BD bust? I'm a poor student and I really can't afford a mistake.
Non-acetone nail polish right? I'll have to see if I find it here in Sweden..

EDIT: I just watched the video again, it does not look like nail polish? Sorry, i dont have sound so i cant hear his comments... What do I need to clean it?

Great job in cleaning your Endos guys!

You going to clean yours? Or do you like it the way it is?

I show you on the video bro. It's the Equate Non Acetone pads in that little box. The pads themself have the nail polish removing substance in them.

Great, I'll need to check it again when I get home , with sound.. About the pads, it doesn't matter what brand u use right? Just that i make sure it doesn't contain acetone...

It seems that the non acetone is the way to roll. I don't know how many pads are available, there was only that one specific brand/type of non acetone pad in my Wal-Mart.

I'm doing a third and final video on this Endo ordeal later today. Basically a wrap-up session/conclusion to it all since this was a learning process for myself as well.

Glad I could help brother. Sideshow owes me nothing. (Although it would be pretty cool to get a message from them or maybe even a job application...)

 

[uscmhicks]

Yeah , I wouldn't be able to get the same brand either. I'm just hoping that doesn't matter !.

Easy fix bro. Those little boxes of the pads cost about $3 each, (I ended up using just under 2 boxes total because I really took my time and did it right.) If you want just shoot me your shipping address, then paypal me enough for the pads and shipping cost (shouldn't be too much) and I'll get them right out to ya.

I might need you to do the same, would that be ok? I will need to see the bust first to decide if I want to "CLEAN" it first though.

I just don't understand the point of the "combat" version. I really don't. It's flickered black spray paint for Christ's sake. IMO it looks horrible. Let's be honest, why else did just about EVERYONE favor the original clean version? I'll tell you why, it's because that look is the iconic signature of the Terminator franchise.

Seriously, did I miss the scene in T2 where the Terminators dropped their weapons and grabbed paintball guns instead? lol

 

[laudel7]

Good point man, gonna see if I can find any of this nail polish first

I like how it looks, no cleaning for me. Mine was in the war, not at a beauty shop.

Personally I like both the COMBAT and the CHROME look. Whether or not the COMBAT version just has black spray paint on it to give it the BATTLE look it still works for me. I think of it as a BATTLEFIELD weathered look. I also prefer the HEAT TREATED effect on SIDESHOWS CHROME ENDOBUST. I hope that whatever chemical that is in those pads will not have any long term effect on the CHROME paint. I would hate to see the paint start flaking off after a few months. Not that it will or anything but you guys just seemed to all just jump in head first on cleaning these things. ACETONE FREE or not there are chemicals there that COULD effect the CHROME PAINT in some adverse way. I guess time will tell though.

Equate doesn't own the patent on non-acetone polish remover, you should be able to find an equivalent product at your apothecary (or wherever they sell nail polish over there), no?

Worst case is someone here has to send you some. Silly, really, as the pads are less than $2 a box here and shipping would probably be 3-5x that amount, maybe more (unless sent in a large envelope, as stated earlier).

 

[laudel7]

Yeah, I have found pads and the regular liquid stuff on ebay. You can get it here no problem.

Excellent point!!
