You can use a hot air gun or hairdryer to reshape the parts, resin is fun like that. as long as you dont get it too hot, there's no big issue. You just hold it to the new shape until it cools, and it stays like that. Doesnt take much heat at all, it helps for when pieces are warped and dont fit quite right. I wouldnt do it for HUGE adjustments though.

You can also cut the tape beforehand, then put it on the kit afterwards. There's also liquid masking paints you can get (they're mostly for watercolor painting on paper, you have to have a dedicated brush for it because the stuff does not come out of bristles) that work pretty well. They smell absolutely foul though.


Next time you wash it, scrub the parts down with a toothbrush and some soap (dish-soap is good for this, i've found) , so you can get into the cracks and folds. Wiping it down with a small amount of rubbing alcohol with a q-tip and cotton ball helps get off any residue, too.


All this talk of gks reminds me I need to make a stand for barasuishou, she's tipped over twice and snapped off her fingers and snapped her backribbon. Luckily I fixed them, but I still need to make her a proper stand so she doesnt keep taking all these damn falls.

So tempting to get that patchy though, hnn.
