This module is one highly requested on how to properly strip your reborn doll kit (should you need to). I can’t stress this enough, we all have moments where we need to strip a kit. I don’t recommend relying on this method as you will be effectively starting from scratch. BUT if necessary it’s a great way to press reset if you experience a colossal mess up at any point during the reborn process. AND It happens. I’ve stripped a handful of kits over the years. Sometimes I got nearly to the end and realized they just didn’t suit the skin tone and had to go back.

While there is nothing wrong with having to strip your kit, there IS a right way to strip it and here it is: ONLY use Windsor and Newton brush cleaner. Do not use Acetone (or nail polish remover) as they will damage the vinyl integrity esp overtime. You might also run into paint not taking to the vinyl for future painting attempts. That’s why I recommend Windsor & Newton. It’s gentle and extremely effective and the tried and true way to strip a kit. You can use this with brushes, with q-tips for creases and nooks, and paper towel too.
Additionally, after stripping, you’ll want to prep your kit just as you would as you begin to paint. This means give it a bath in warm water and dawn soap, rinse and leave to dry. This will ensure that any residue will be off and your canvas will be prepped to take paint again. Happy second painting.
