As others have said here; Old school brown Dettol. Works wonders on all kinds of acrylic paint however the are primers out there that are thoroughly resistant to it's antiseptic charms.

@randallporter4835 13 дней назад

Twenty years ago in our game store we did a experiment where we tested on GW figs several substances on which was best on striping paint. We tested break fluid, gasoline, ISOPROPYL, Pine-sol, paint stripper. and several others. After a month the owner won Pine Sol. It was cheap, non toxic, non flame-able, smelled pleasenant and worked fast. Now I use Simply Green or La Faboulus!!!

@assembly_language3948 Год назад

Late to the video. I pretty much use Isoprooyl for stripping, here is my experience. 70% is ok for water based Acrylic paints, and water based airbrush primers. Usually 45 minute soak is all you need, though longer my be needed. I dont use solvent based Acrylics (i.e. Tamiya), so I have no experience what is required for those. 91% 0r 99%, with 99% is always going to give you the best results. It'll cut through the most things and usually the quickest. The biggest problems are going to come from the types of primers used. Solvent based rattlecan primers are going to be exponential levels of nightmare. Some will come off, others you will have to find other chemicals, and some you will never get off ever. The Stronger the Iso, and the longer the soak (days and weeks), the better chance you'll have at getting them off. It could also take several cycles of soaking, and scrubbing, and washing, and scrubbing, and soaking... and table flipping, and soaking, and scrubbing, and hair pulling and scrubbing... You get the picture.

Alright Lee I use 99% IPA, place around 5 models in a jam jar size recepticle, leave them for 24 hours, giving the (sealed) jar a good shake 4-5 times. Just a quick scrub with a toothbrush using some fresh IPA and it gets all paint incuding spray primer (both GW and AP) off, it will also soften glue but that helps get to the awkward bits.

@tabletopskirmishgames Год назад

Thanks Uncle Bones!

@mechamonkee Год назад

I've tried over 20 different methods, including dedicated paint strippers...but I've never found anything better than Methylated Spirits. They're cheap, re-usable, and powerful.

@jmc7034 Год назад

I found methylated spirits worked a treat. 2-3 hours and the paint comes off easy with a tooth brush

@docremington1589 Год назад

Another vote for methylated spirits! They work quite a bit better than isopropyl alcohol.

@andrewcox4386 14 дней назад

I just tried this on my Tyranids. It works but it is a lot more effort than using some of the dedicated paint remover products. That said it is a lot cheaper! 😃

@j453 Год назад

Oh I am stripping models today too lol! I used sandable automotive primer by mistake once. The sandable primer has a pretty heavy texture to it and it ruined the look of the models. Really upset me and I couldn't figure out how to bet it off. I ended up soaking them in simple green for like a week. It finally came off. There is also a fairly low hazard paint stripper (here in the U.S.) called citrus strip, it will remove primer easily and it doesnt seem to effect the hips plastic. It got most of the primer off in about an hour. I got impatient, probably should soak it longer. If you can get it in your area it may be helpful to know citrus strip is a gel. I found that stuff for stripping hotwheels to make cars for Gaslands.

@Onionkid99 Год назад

In the US we have a (relatively) non-toxic paint remover called "Simple Green" and that would probably remove that tan paint. I'm not sure how easy it is to get outside the US though.

Dettol Antiseptic works really well for this, the 5% or so Chloroxylenol brown liquid at about £4.50 a bottle, use in much the same way but leave to soak for a few more hours before you brush the paint off, I found a old paintbrush (the kind you would use to paint a wall) works really well for cleaning them up. wash them a few times in warm soapy water afterwards as those mini's will stink of the stuff. Be warned, do outside because your entire house will stink of disinfectant for a week if you do it inside.

@tien65 Год назад

i never knew that would work to clean the model. thank you for this.

@paintertovey Год назад

I had mixed results with isopropyl, as you said some paints just don't strip away. I've used biostrip 20 on some plastic and metal minis and it works a treat!

LA Totally Awesome cleaner has always worked great in my experience, even getting thicker coats of primer off, plus it's cheap to boot (around 3 dollars for a gigantic bottle at dollar stores). I'm stateside however, so I don't know if it's a pain getting your hands on a bottle in the UK or anywhere else in the world.

@xcomboy666 Год назад

Remove paint from plastic figures and models 100% safely with "LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner" available in 1/2 gallon jugs at "Dollar General" stores. It's better than alcohol, better than Simple Green, better than Castrol Super Degreaser, better than brake fluid, and better than what you're using. I have been experimenting with all types of products to strip plastic models since the 1970s, and this is By Far the the most effective, and it doesn't soften or dry-out the plastic in the slightest. It works as a soak, but is downright speedy when using with an ultrasonic cleaner. For old paint, scrub with a toothbrush between cycles. I've noticed that Casey at "Ebay Miniature Rescues" uses it in his video projects. Smart man.

@pvtspoon Год назад

Biostrip & the Green Stuff World paint remover are my recommendations. The GSW is quicker & less wasteful in my opinion.

this is also my experience. removes most paints, but primers tend to be the ones it have a hard time removing.

@michaelmerritt2990 Год назад

Thanks for this, I have several models that need stripping and I will try this. I get the feeling plastic doesn't float in pure alcohol but I'll have to look that up. Also, your timer was at 43% charge at the start of the 45 min and remained 43% at the end, what super battery is in that timer? LOL.

@tabletopskirmishgames Год назад

Haha the magic of editing 🤣

@grayfox2618 Год назад

would be interesting to see you try Tamiya Paint Remover

@SweaterWearingaTree Год назад

The best I have found is 99% isopropyl alcohol. After about an hour most of the parking will slide off the model. Leaving it overnight is even better. But it will eat away exposed super glue so be careful when cleaning the paint off or you may loose pieces.

@paille-boy Год назад

I have one question Does it disolve super glue?? I made poorhammer with a bunch of plastic trash and it happen that the stuff i made was not the same color than the rest of the minies but if it disolve super glue too I'm gonna end up with 80 rivet floating around and a bunch of other pieces doing a party in a corner

@tabletopskirmishgames Год назад

One model came loose but it was push for so I’m not sure if it was glued. Other models were glued and didn’t come apart. I would be careful and seek more info.

Had no success with Isopropanol even after waiting for days. "Biostrip 20" on the other hand could even strip the weirdest oldest paint of an eBay Genestealer.

@rutgaurxi7314 Год назад

I use two different types of stripper. For plastic I use Biostrip, for resin I use AK Interactives paint stripper. You dont have to worry about Biostrip with plastic, other than a slightly miscoloured plastic from the primer, AK's stripper, be sure to rinse it in water fairly quickly as it _can_ melt resin, if you're not too careful but otherwise works well on plastic. But seeing this, I might give it go with Isopropyl, see what results I get. Edited.

@kainoctis7724 Год назад

I've tried IPA and even 99% is meh and required so much effort even with an electric toothbrush. Don't ask.😂 However, biostrip 20 is a god send for stripping minis and requires minimal effort. I still use the IPA in an airtight container to cleanse the models as the biostrip gunk. Water doesnt seem to work at all for cleaning.

-Isopropyl soak for 30/60 minutes depending how caked it is. -Fill a tub with very hot water and washing up liquid. -Use a medium toothbrush and scrub them in the water, for the bits you can't get to use an interdental brush. -Rinse under hot tap and give a light brush with a clean batch of washing up liquid to prevent the white powdery residue appearing. They come out good as new.
