Customizing extraordinaire, Jared Cain aka Nikejerk has put together a do-it-yourself time-lapsed tutorial of his tried and true method of how to strip a Dunny in preparation to customize. It takes a few select ingredients: acetone, primer, fine grit sandpaper (320), rags, a Dunny and a little elbow grease. Be sure to have a well ventilated space to work in and it also helps to use a respirator and gloves.

Cooooolllll.
Brilliant tutorial – thanks!
Awesome video. Is there a trick to taking the heads off the three inch dunny? Every one I've tried to remove has broken the head joint off.
Throw it in boiling water, the vinyl gets soft and you're able to remove it easily
The boiling water is totally not necessary. It will work but seems to me to be too much trouble. All you need is a hair dryer. I use a heat gun which is just an industrial hair dryer and I use it to set small pieces of sculpey too. Heat up the head to the point that it's really soft, and use something to pry off the head. I use an old dental instrument but a small screw driver would work or something like that. You might even just be able to pull it off. It's really hard to melt or burn the vinyl so just keep heating it up until it get's really soft.
I just put em outside for a bit (I live in Phoenix Arizona) That works too
Oven on 200 for 10 mins, also this time works to makes cutting the vinyl a hell of a lot easier.
Anybody know the name of this song? it sounds like Kid Cudi…
never mind, got it. It Ashin' Kusher by Kid Cudi if anyone wants to know
YES! I may not emphasize the safety measures you should take but it is important to wear gloves and work in a ventilated area. Thanks for posting the video Ryan!!!
