Hi TJ,

I use the Simple Green made for clothes when I use it.

Shalom,

Hi TJ,

You're welcome.

As a side note, with any stripping agent you use, ALWAYS... I mean ALWAYS test it out first on a small corner of your mini or with a lesser valued mini before dunking a prize possession in the cleaning vats.

Signius used to leave his minis in big tupperware containers with turpentine, which worked fine for metal minis, but several of his plastic minis came out as melted lumps. Learn from his mistakes!

Also, very few cleaners are prefect and you'll want to use an old toothbrush to scrub the mini before making a final cleansing rinse of water, drying it and then re-priming it.

Be careful!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!

Yup, that simple green stuff is real good for stripping.

One of the many things I have learned on these forums. :)

If you can't find any, use brake fluid. I've had very goo results with it on many different plastic minis. Leave the minis in the fluid for a day or two, rinse and scrub with a toothbrush, and it's fine. The only time it didn't worked too well was when the minis were protected by what must have been ten layers of varnish...

I usually use the cheapest brake fluid available in my local supermarket.
