Blasto with dead heads

[spielco]

I’ve got a blasto that went south I believe due to me about a month or two ago. Since then it’s seems to come back strong on certain heads

Do I need to remove the still dead looking ones or is there a chance they will come back also?

The ones that have not came back as you can see are browned and harden looking. I’m just not sure if I’ll damage the healthy portions by separating it.


Thanks for any suggestions and help!

Give them a few more weeks to recover. If they're dead for sure, I'd frag by cutting thru the dead heads.

I had one that suddenly died back to nothing and came back to 100% in a couple of months. It was really weird.

Just realized it never took the picture.

I just posted the pic. I believe the back left heads are goners.

Oh yeah, they look empty. When you chop them off, just take care not to damage the adjacent live flesh

I would leave it, I had exactly the same experience as @Kellie in CA had, mine died in a tank crash and a few months later this tiny pen dot spec started to grow again and has made a remarkable rebound considering it was just skeleton!

Only tool I’ve got for help currently is a bone cutters for frag. Would that be safe enough you think to cut back the dead skeleton

I personally wouldn't use bone cutters on that, I'd go with a rotary cutting tool in absence of a wet saw. I've seen this tool used with success, also linking a video guide below: https://amzn.to/3VkgS80. you can also use a dremel if you have one already.

Then again, you're just removing dead skeleton, so it might be fine.

Appreciate the help!

I leave them. They may grow back over them.
