It works for both metal and plastic mini's. It won't damage the plastic and has an added benefit of turning superglue into goo that can be cleaned off. Granted, it takes a few months for that to happen but my RTB01 marines now look like they just came out of the box ready for a modern paint job.Pondwafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741543894632650196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-59911396533721852232008-08-07T09:06:00.000-07:002008-08-07T09:06:00.000-07:00I will have to try that sometime to see how well i...I will have to try that sometime to see how well it works for me! I have been using White or Purple Spirit, and allowing the models to sit for about 6 hours before scrubbing them with an old tooth brush and it seems to get the exact same affect as in the above pics.

On all metal figures/bits.. go to walmart and get 100% acetone nail polish remover.. now fill a "GLASS JAR" with this and drop the figures and bits in that.. soak for a couple days.. and again.. use the toothbrush.. remember to wash out the toothbrush at the end or the acetone will cause the brissels to fuse together.. but that will definitely take off any old primer and paint.. <BR/>Good luck guys and enjoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-57211554126559534122008-08-04T10:23:00.000-07:002008-08-04T10:23:00.000-07:00Likely the primer was an enamel base rather than a...Likely the primer was an enamel base rather than an acrylic. I've noticed that brake fluid doesn't work on it either, you have to go for the really caustic stuff. Another way of doing this is to scrub the minis with a brass BBQ brush. It's a little more work but doesn't require harsh chemicals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-76249120669415499462008-08-01T06:07:00.000-07:002008-08-01T06:07:00.000-07:00I've had great results from brake fluid when strip...I've had great results from brake fluid when stripping metal minis in the past.
