SetsunaKou, teatree oil, does that work on resin too? Guess not because of the oil..?

Actually, it works perfectly on resin, too. I've used it on about 50+ resin heads to wipe off their faceups and never had a problem at all, and you can wipe a fully sealed face in about 5-8 minutes flat.

I still have most of the dolls I used it on, for proof it doesn't cause any problems---after 6 years (I bought them in 2007), they're all still fine. I've wiped these resin dolls' faces at least 3-4 times each in those 5 years using tea tree oil, and not one single effect or problem.

What I do, is I use the 100% undiluted tea tree oil with q-tips (usually about 5 tips per face) then use a final tip to 'clean' off all final paint residue. After that, I take the head, wash it thoroughly in soap and water, and then dry off.

And it's like brand new again. ^^

After resisting for quite some time, I bought my first Monster High doll today. I got the Picture Day Draculaura.

Yes, it works on the ABS plastic, too. Also works on metal! The stuff is just incredible... ^^

I just always make sure to wash it all off with soap and water once I'm done with wiping the face. (Or any other part that paint needs to be removed.)

My MH collapsable storage trunk arrived today, it's longer than the other two similar trunks I have. They're just girly colors. The MH trunk is made of that papery fabric that do tote bags out of instead of canvas like the others, both have cardboard for stiffening.
For $20 it has Monster on it and holds a lot of stuff, don't pay much more.

The lid is hinged, the inside is pink, I'm glad for the holes because it needs some airing out. The collapsable trunks I got at Target are a better quality but this one has Monsters and they need somewhere to put their stuff.
