Lady Tam Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hmm, this reminds me I got a couple minis taking a bath, that need taking out! I prefer the simply green over the pine sol, seems to work faster. Lady Tam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hells_Clown Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 In my (limited) experience, SG will pretty much take everything off given enough time. For really stubborn stuff, like glue or putty, a soak in nail polish remover for an hour or so will take care of that. I use SG more often due to cost (SG is cheaper, I haven't seen bulk npr) and it doesn't smell as bad. Now if it would only get the paint out of the nooks n crannies w/o having to get a needle or toothpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Beading needles, straight pins and toothpicks are your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePolo Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 ...and an electric toothbrush for the basic scrubbing. Doh! I never thought of that! Next time I do some stripping, I'm gettin' me a cheap-o electric toothbrush! Great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyxxl Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I use easy off oven cleaner on my model cars it doesn't melt plastic very fast and its cheap, and strips everything off pretty well. *whole car body on a real fancy deal was like an hour to strip with handful of scrubbing spots.

Easy Off Oven cleaner is something you really need to be careful with. You cannot get it on anything with even traces of aluminum in it unless you want to see smoke and sparks. Also, it can smell noxious. It will melt plastic if left on to long which is going to be its biggest drawback. If working with plastic minis you are better off using simple green. If it is metal, simple green, brake fluid or nail polish remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Tam Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 On top of toothpicks and needels I bought a nice cheap "hard" bristle tooth brush to help scrub the paint off. It helps get a lot of the nooks and crannies, then I "touch up" with the sewing needle. Lady Tam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
