Reiniger Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I've got some minis that I coated with Dull Cote, but I'd now like to repaint. Can I strip 'em? I'm using Simple Green. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Don't know about simple green, but I take off dull coat and everything else with carborator cleaner. Either soak or scrubbing will take it down to the metal very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I use Dull Cote like a maniac on my figs. I also use Simple Green to strip minis. Yes, it will removed Dull Cote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madog Barfog Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I prefer Pine Sol for metal minis. For all Simple Green did for me, I might as well have dipped them in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerridwyn1st Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Make sure you are getting full-strength Simple Green. There is a dilute product on the market made by the same company and sold in budget stores. It smells nice and is good for cleaning your bathroom, but it's useless for stripping minis.

Zinzig Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Yes, simple green takes off dull-coat. My suggestion: Go to wal-mart/target/etc, but the biggest bottle of simple green they have and a plastic "jar" of peanuts (big enough to put your hand through the mouth sized jar). Go home. Eat the peanuts. Wash the "jar". Fill with simple green. Tah-Dah! Dunk Tank! My dunk tank will hold (from experience) 40+ lizardmen/dwarves/undead. All nicely covered with the green juice and you'll have enough simple green left for cleaning around the house. From my experience, this also weakens super-glue joints and some types of basin materials (whatever I used, and I don't remember, turned to something similar in consistency to pudding). I've never dunked a plastic mini, so no idea what it does to them. -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
