Smooze, pindot mold, pony cancer??

[Pickenprod]

I am somewhat new to the world of ponies, and during my online shopping, I came across some unfamiliar terms! Now, I've figured out tail rust, flocking rubs, and the like, but things like smooze, regrind, pindot mold, and cancer spots have me confused.

Does anyone have a pictorial guide to the aforementioned afflictions? Many thanks!

This site has a lot of information on it. The My Little Pony Preservation Project

Also, I found this video rather interesting -- it's pony cancer, magnified with a microscope. YouTube - ‪My Little Pony Cancer - Magnified‬‏ It surprised me, to be honest...

Thank-you so much, Sprinkles! According to that guide, one of my ponies definitely has smooze. I guess I'll try to clean her before the paint goes on (she is destined to become a custom one day soon)! And I will definitely be on the lookout for plasticizer loss, which sounds like possibly the worst pony disease there is.

I find a lot when I search the words cancer or mold in the forum search-a-ma-jig.
