Drying

6/01/2013

After soaking, I rinsed the figures in running water and then sat them on a towel to dry.  When my wife replaces the kitchen or bathroom towels I get the old ones for hobby uses.  Like this.


Terra Cotta color slot and ring hand figures.  Notice the huge differences in shades of brown.


The white figures were dried and then soaked in a jar full of bleach for 24 hours.  It really perked up the faded ones.


More figures soaking.  The figures were sorted by color and by type.  I am doing an inventory as well as a cleaning.


The boxes were not filled by the figures.  I left space in the bottom of each plastic box so the figures could be stirred up.
