How To Restore Your Hand Made Chewed Up Plastic Dog Toys

How To Restore Your Hand Made Chewed Up Plastic Dog Toys

In my last video:

How To Make Your Own Christmas Plastic Dog Chew Toys

I showed how to make your own toys. In this video I'll show you how to restore the chewed ones to reshaped and revitalise them and remove any chewed sharpened points.

So The Toys Will Last A very Long Time - No More Need To Buy New Replacements.

#fixed1tMONEYSAVINGtips


It doesn't take our two sight hounds long to start chewing up new toys they can destroy shop bought toys in a matter of days leaving the bits scattered all over the house.

As you can see below they have already given the figure of eight I made



and the old re-vitalised bone I made:


a good chewing.

But as you saw in the above video, its easy to revitalise so the toys just go on working.  If you do end up throwing some of the badly chewed bits after, either deliberately or by vacuuming them up, then just add a few more Polymorph beads to the hot what to make up for the loss.

#fixed1tRESCUEdogs

Its also very cheap, and if you screw up using it, you just chuck it back into a cup of hot water and start again, its that simple.
