My country way to protect my BJDs from stains, UV (kinda), and dust, but it’s effective!

This method saved my BJDs‘ skin many times from black outfits’ stain. I still remember back in 2016, I bought Iplehouse’s gorgeous Paladin set for my Vince (my Iplehouse E.I.D Chase). Only after 2 days with the outfit on, I was panic because black stains covered my boy’s body. Without the protection layer, I would cry a river over his heavily stained body.

What I did was spray 2 layers of sealant to protect my BJDS‘ bodies from UV, stains, and dust. I understand that many of you will not like this idea because the BJDs’ skin will lose its smooth surface. However, I prefer the matt texture to stains and dust.

Nowadays, not many people use this method anymore. However, I still apply it every six months to protect my dolls, mainly from stains created by dark-coloured outfits, dust, and oil on my hands.

Here is how I do it:

What you need: 

1. 1 bottle of sealant of your choice. (I use Mr. Super Clear: 1 UV Cut Matt/Flat, 1 UV Cut Gloss. You can use the regular sealant without the UV Cut. I like the soft dewy skin effect).
2. Mask. (If you don’t have a respirator mask, double your regular mask).

How I spray:

1/ Bring our doll (just the body, of course) outside. We need a good ventilating area.

2/ Spray the Matt bottle first (if you like to have dewy skin like me). I usually hold the S hook above the neck to hold the doll.

3/ Bring your doll inside, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Be careful to not touch them when the sealant is still wet. 

4/ Since I like bling bling (the whole world knows I love sparkling things), I will apply a heavy layer of shimmer on some areas; for instance, the breast, collarbone, and shoulders). This step is optional.

5/ Bring the doll outside again, and spray the second layer. You can use the Gloss bottle like me or just Matt. Your choice.

6/ Bring the doll back in. Let it rest for 30 minutes before dressing them. I usually let them rest for 1 hour as I am not in a rush.

Note: 

• Hold the bottle 20cm away from the doll. 
• Spray without fear, lol.
• Don’t rush between sealant layers. Let them dry.
• Repeat every six months.
• You can use thinner to sip away the old sealant. Same way to remove the old BJD face-up.
