From the lens How to Dye a My Little Pony.

    This is useful, the only problems I have ran into other that the glue with one pony is the dye bleeding through sealed paint. Is there any way to avoid this? Other than washing and letting the pony sit for six months (which that is the pony that has the problem with the dye bleed in the sealed paint, mostly the eyes)

    Sorry...it's one of the downfalls to the dying process. A few things to help with this is to make sure you put the pony in the clear/diffusion pan when you achieve your color, this will force dye to either seep in better or bleed out. Make sure you wash the pony completely after dying and before vinegar soak, of course wash again well after the vinegar soak. When you let the pony sit out after dying you will need to make sure she gets air, that will let the dye breathe. As I said, I put them in a baggie but I take them out of the baggie every so often to let them breathe.

    If It's been months and no luck of the dye not bleeding. I would boil the pony in clean water, to see if any more dye comes out, rewash and try to let sit again. Now remember different pony molds use different plastics some of the harder plastics don't absorb the dye so you may not ever get her to not bleed.

    Hope that helps!

    This is a really helpful lens. I did kind of wince a little when I saw the pony was headless, but it happens. Thanks for sharing your technique.

    Awesome tutorial, thanks! I've never had dye seep through my paint though, even if I paint the same day. I guess I've gotten lucky, because I've heard lots of people complain about that problem. Thanks to your tutorial, I'll be painting a layer of white first!
