When you said six handlers, first thing that came to mind was yelling "get down Mr president!" then all six forming a body pile on top of you. Nice panel. *is now informed*

Gonna have to watch this cause i missed the pannel i was hopeing to get to it but wound up jaw jacking in the dealers den

Excellent panel. It was very entertaining as well! One question though regarding suit care at these cons: Is it feasible to wash parts like the body, paws, tail, etc in something like a tub if it starts to smell bad? And also, any recommendations on how to keep a fursuit head look new, or perhaps keeping it in good care like the rest of the body? I've read that a mix of rubbing alcohol and water applied will keep it clean on the outside, but unsure if the inside is a different story.

I would say talk to your builder about what to use on the suit to clean it. they know what they're working with and will know what sorts of things will mess up the airbrushing or whatever. For instance rubbing alcohol makes certain otherwise permanent inks run.

In general teddy bear cleaner is a nice easy cleaner that you can gently hand wash a head with. For the inside I use an anti bacterial spray, again just talk to your builder cause it can depend on the kind of head.

For washing at a con. You could hand wash in a tub if you want, it should work. I brought along these hand was tide things to get the pits and thighs if needed. There's also washing machines available in many hotels so you may want to check that out and just toss it in the wash as you would normally.

Alrighty. Thank you very much for answering everything.

so i have been up for almost 36 hours am definitely watching before bed, i just showed my suit to roughly 40 Japanese students who just got off the plane, and it was a hit, so for the next two days i have the job of entertaining them while they eat breakfast in shifts (about 62 kids in total and we are at a hotel so out of curtsy we are eating in shifts so others have a chance.)

Awesome panel, Fay! I was bummed that I had no way of going to AC this year, but it's awesome that it was recorded. I'm watching it for the second time because the way you and Mushi presented it is just that fun to watch. Subscribed and faved for future reference!

Your guides have helped a lot. I commissioned my first suit earlier this year after reading through your tips on that. Been studying everything I could since then to be ready for next year's AC. It's gonna be a blast! ...so long as I don't overdo it. XD

I'm so glad this panel is online now. My memory isn't what it used to be, and I don't want to forget your awesome advice.

So, thanks.

I just watched all three videos. Miss. Fay, you did a fantastic job on that panel. You made it fun and kept it real. And there's my 2 cents. XP

This was so much fun - thanks again for the excellent panel!
