How do you take care of your gashas?

[Chaoz]

helo peeps...

just curious, how do you actually take care of you gasha collections? tips and tricks?


;D

[Hayabusa]

I usually keep them in a glass enclosed shelve para iwas alikabok. I also make sure that my hands are clean & dry when handling them kasi madaling mamantsahan yung flat paint ng ibang gasha lalo na yung white.

yup, clean hands ;D

no sunlight and even direct lighting.

Hmmm... best way? .... don't display them! Joke lang!!! Yung mga nakukuha kong dusty gashas, a soft brush(tooth brush) and liquid soap will do. Ingat lang pag ang lababo niyo ay walang filter, pag yung mga maliit na parts ay nahulog, iyak na lang kayo...

uchi: i think every sink has a 'U' shaped tube at the buttom... i think thats where all the heavy items are left ;D hehehe

Always keep them in display case. My gashas which have been displayed for almost a year in the display case has no noticable dust settling.

To clean the dust, use the airbrush compressor to blow the dust out.
For stubborn dirt, like the ones accumulating at the base, use cotton swab dipped in water + soap. For really dirty ones, like pre-owned gashas, use Uchiha's advise.

Chaoz, pvc isn't heavy in water and doesn't float either, the P- trap pipe won't save it. Its purpose is just to prevent the stink to get out. To eliminate the risk, don't wash in sink, use a pan "planggana" instead.

ah ic...

i was just wondering, for toys in general not just gashas, does this godforsaken wet weather we're currently having do anything harmful to our toys?

Since you're dealing with moisture, the one most affected will be the boxes/cards. Not much you can do except keep in it a closed compartment like a cabinet or display case or put it in a plastic bag and seal it. If its inside an aircon room, then there's no problem with it.
