Re: Removing Paint

Most household cleaners, such as 409 and Fantastic, work fine for stripping enamel. An overnight soak is usually enough.

For those in the continental US I highly recommend 'Strip-A-Kit':

refer to a comprehensive list of strippers for various plastics = "Paint Strippers for plastic models etc" at

Buy a second kit if still available :-)

Seriously 409/Fantastik/brake fluid works well. Just check the progress after an overnight soak. Usually an overnight soak followed by a scrub with an old toothbrush will do the trick and not harm anything. when you forget about a kit and go back days/weeks later you may have a rubbery blob of a kit.

Get OUTTA town! I've been at this hobby since I was a kid and never knew that! Once when we were kids, my brother and I put a Swedish "S" Tank model in a tub of brake fluid.

Guess we left it in there a little too long. When we fished it out, there wasn't a speck of paint on it. But it looked like a Martian heat ray had its way with it!

use an oven cleaner ( Jex Four in Europe) aerosol. You cover the model with the product you put it in a plastic bag and you let the product work a night. After you just have to clean your model with common soap and running water and it's done. Easy way no? ;-) "Paul Jacobs" a écrit dans le message de news:Tsv5b.210$ snipped-for-privacy@nnrp1.ozemail.com.au...
