Lord Shaper Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is that for plastic minis? yep I did a heap of research when I was ment to be working on the best for it... Simple Green wasn't working for me and there's been no softening of the plastic either... So all the Yan Lo models, McCabe models and next is Lady Justice and my Joker Crew and it's back to priming with a new spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Good to know for the future, but I reckon it will be years before I ever need to strip one (if ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I haven't had the chance to look at the PDFs yet so I'll check it out when I get a chance tonight. I didn't play second edition only first and I'm tempted with some figures but for the 3 first armies I have most of what originally came out... I need to pull it all out! If we can ever be in the same place with a game table, I'll gladly get the stuffing beaten out of me in a game of Warzone, old or new. Hmm...so apparently for us in the States, we need to use a 50-50 mix of Pine-Sol and water to get something roughly equivalent to Dettol if we want it to be safe for plastics. Generally speaking I think Simple Green takes enough off that I'm good with it, but it's nice to know I can try something stronger if need be. Of course, on metal minis, acetone will take off anything that isn't metal- paint, primer, skin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Iso propyl alcohol strips paint of everything, and I've left plastic, metal and resin stuff in it for weeks with no ill effects. It's my favourite method. But 98%, none of this wussy rubbing alcohol stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The problem is, of course, finding the 98%. Will rubbing alcohol work if you give it long enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think in the states you can get it on eBay lol. Or in pharmacies if you ask them I suspect. In the UK it's trickier. Rubbing alcohol might work, it's 70% IPA, but I've never used it. It won't hurt the model if you try it, that I am confident of! Soak them for a while (days, weeks, whatever's convenient), scrub them with a toothbrush, then scrub again with soapy water to get the solvent sludge away. That's how I do it.

Lord Shaper Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well it's the next morning and most of the paint is off the figures which is good but I need a new toothbrush to get the detail off I think... maybe this afternoon!

edonil Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not bad, managed to get sleep tonight ---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ---------- Today/tonight/whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 That's a bonus, sleep helps whenever it is! I... didn't. But we're not shocked by that these days lol. How's work going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not too bad. They've got a trainee on the prober apparently...which I find a little odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Heh, she actually. I find it odd because we have two people trained and that's been enough for a good long while. On the other hand, the first shift guy is hardly ever here, and doesn't get a lot done while he is, so they might be training her as a prelude to getting rid of him... that's what happened when I learned the machine.

Mako Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Aargh, was starving so got a frozen pizza when I nipped to the shops. Been waiting wondering why it doesn't seem to be cooking.
