AK Interactive - Paint Stripper | Review and Test | Best Paint Stripper?

Today we test out the AK Interactive Paint Stripper. This is rated highly on their website and can apparently remove paint from plastic, resin and white metal miniatures. I'm going to test this statement out on a variety of different miniatures. Is this the best paint stripper on the market currently? AK Interactive have really lifted their game with every range and this will hopefully be another great item in their inventory. Let me know below if this is something you're using or considering using.

Okay, Ive used ak paint stripper for quite a while, and heres some things I learned; the stripper will melt plastic and resin if left on long enough, I had a batch that I forgot about for 24 hours and its was reduced to a gooey blob. Any residue left after washing it with soapy water will still react with the plastic or any paint you put on top of it. It hates finecast or polyutherine minis. And finally it tastes horrible Make sure you follow those instructions /to the letter/ to avoid the stuff I learned the hard way Happy painting

Excellent information mate, very interesting too! I really appreciate it. I'll make another video in the future testing out what you've pointed out to make others aware.

[@brad9336]

Glad you had a better experience! I have had bad experience with this and yes I strictly followed the instructions and video tutorials.

[@paintingpanzers]

Ah bummer, I wonder why that was? Perhaps they've changed the solution since your experience?

[@user-cx7ss2rf5p]

I bought some this a year ago and wasn't happy with the results so I tried it again recently on a couple of minis and the results were the same. Seems like a miracle as the paint starts to run but as soon as it comes into contact with water it turns into thick slime that doesn't want to come off and cakes the details of the model. Tried it with isopro instead of water had had slightly better result but it instantly tuned into white hard crust. Spent about an hour trying to pick the crust and slime with toothpicks but gave up. The solvent becomes harder to remove than the paint ever was. Not worth the money or the frustration.

[@paintingpanzers]

Oh really? That is very interesting indeed. I did find the water trick as per the instructions to be very hit and miss. I think I'll do an updated video and really put it through it's paces. Thanks for your info though, it's really made me think twice about this product.

Brilliant Video again, going to pick some this up.

[@paintingpanzers]

Awesome mate, I'm chuffed you liked it too 😁

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

I heard a lot of good things about AK's paint stripper. But it's not that cheap so it's mabye not for stripping pint off an entire army.

[@paintingpanzers]

Definitely not the cheapest option but worth the money if you're not a patient person IMO.

[@GavinWoodward-d5l]

Do you know if it works on varnished models?

[@paintingpanzers]

Yes, I believe it will work on varnish models but I can test it out again soon just to be 100% if you'd like? I just need to source a model I want to strip :P

[@Blitz9H]

Nice! This is a game changer!

[@paintingpanzers]

It really is very useful!!

[@basicminiaturepainting]
