@MasterGiegue Only if you live in the desert. Generally plastic based furs can withstand temperatures of up to 120 without melting. Mohair survives those kinds of heats a little better(Because its cotton based).
I've never seen sun drying melt fur, but then again I live in DC and not on Venus.
well yeah dont wash the head only way to do that is is use a washclothe that isnt damp or wet. maybe slightly damp but i am only guessing so dont take my advice lol.
well look at some more theactrical fursuits for instance there gonna be abit more in need of gentle washing :/. sorry i just wouldnt wash my suit like that.
my fursuit is waaaay to expensive to wash it like that. plus the head has wires and led lights for the eyes and stuff nope i would advise talking to the one who made you it if you really wanna clean it or find a safe way of doing it if you made it yourself..:/
It would sun bleach the colour a little. If you're using a dark fur it wouldn't hurt it TOO much(Unless you want to keep the really dark darks), but if you're using al ighter colour fur, I suggest drying indoors because the fading is pretty obvious.
It also depends on what kind of dye the fur was made with.
That works really well depending on what kind of fur you're using. I prefer this method just because I have stretchy cotton backed fur and I'd worry it would stretch out the backing. Although draping it over a fan while it weighs a tonne isnt the best idea ever :P
Sun drying suits tends to melt the fur, since its made of plastic :V

Have you ever washed your fursuit? It sounds like you don't have much experience with it.

....you should NEVER NEVER NEVER soak your head.
NEVER NEVER.
LEDs, electronics, or just a plain old head.
Getting water in your foam will expediate it's degredation.
And most makers won't clean your fursuits for you.

I referred to the video to wash my first real fursuit today. :) It was short-length fur, but I hope I have a strong enough hanger for it to dry on.

I put all of my handwashed stuff in the washer after cleaning and put it on spin only. A LOT of the water spins out.
You have the coolest prehensile toes! especially in the second video.
