Mineral Turpentine

[Crimson]

Greetings Brethren,
I would like to offer some advice to those who wish to strip their plastic models, DON'T USE MINERAL TURPENTINE!!!, I have because of my actions lost a brave skeleton who will be long remember from now onwards as, I'm melting. However, I would like to recommend if for stripping paint off of metal miniatures as it works very quickly and efficiently.

Does anyone know of a stripper that can strip plastic models?

Simple Green and brake fluid are the ones I know about.

Cheers, Wolfie

It's similar to several household cleaning products, like 409. The main difference is that it comes concentrated and you add your own water to it to create the desired strength. If you can find a cleaner with a Ph between 8.5 - 9 that will work for plastic minis. Remember that the Ph scale is logrithmic, so a cleaner with Ph of 8 is 10 times weaker then a cleaner with the Ph of 9.
