Methylated spirits is even cheaper and faster. Get a bottle from B&Q for less than a fiver and you can apply via a rag or cotton bud or pour into a plastic cup and submerge plastic and resin minis for 30 seconds then scrub with an old brush and repeat the process. I stripped a mini last night and the paint and AP primer was gone in less than 5 minutes. With metal minis just swap methylated spirits for acetone but careful of the fumes.

Meths are another great option, great advice
@tuvaaq2 жыл бұрын
Try bioethanol instead of methylated spirits, it used to be £6 for 2 litres in B&Q but now it's £8. Same properties only its plant-based alcohol and not petrochemical, doesn't have toxic methanol added and is cheaper!

Dude I'm not kidding I've just spent about half hour yelling at videos where people spend five minutes jabbering on before they even mention what they are using to do the stripping....explaining their results before they even say what they're using...I mean seriously, who cares about the results if the flipping products there using are stupid...which they usually end up being, after you've wasted 5 minutes waiting for them to get to the f#cking point lol.. 45 seconds into your video and you've shown me the product you're using, and you've began explained what it will work on, so I know I'm not wasting my time watching the video. Thank you mate! folks making videos need to use a video like this as a good example of the right video model for an instructional video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great vid. I just picked up a cheap sonic cleaner, for a few plastic and metal ebay miniature rescues. Dunked these in methylated spirits and set the cleaner for 3 minutes, followed by a little elbow grease. After two cycles they came out great.

Apparently some thermoplastics like Siocast can react poorly to these kinds of stripper - they're known to go weird in biostrip (apparently being nylon-based they react poorly to an acid in the biostrip mix). I wonder if the same may apply with this?

Coming back to this one a year and a half later, for any UK people using the Amazon links, the 500ml one now takes 3-7 *months* for dispatch, which is crazy. The 1l one sends the next day on Amazon Prime as normal. Something to be aware of! (obv not Josh's fault, can't be expected to check every link every day for the rest of forever, I'm sure it was fine at the time!)
@candmatt6562 жыл бұрын
Get some clean spirit from Wilko mate, safe for plastic and strips really well, I leave models soaking overnight, best bit is its £2 for 500ml and can strip 4-6 times before it starts to not work as well!
