Best Paint Stripper For Miniatures, Works in a Minute on Plastic, Resin, & Metal!

[@FOB777]

Needed this video. As a broke college student, I refurbish a lot of models from eBay (which is a side hobby itself). The people stuff prime their models with might as well be concrete lol! Thanks man

[@spikeybitstv]

Glad we could help!

[@wearytraveler3524]

Those are not rubber gloves! You are wearing Nytril gloves and most petroleum based solutions will break them down! Get some Rubbermaid kitchen gloves and you will not have that problem!!!

[@Iris_n_Parti]

Had a thought on doing this today, my first model was a Leman Russ Battle Tank and I use it quite a lot in 40k games, the problem is that its paint scheme is a bit dull and I moved onto adding camouflage to my other models (in which this model does not have a camouflage of its own, making it look out of ordinary to the other tank models)

Metals - Acetone (nail polish remover) Plastics - Isopropyl Alcohol or Methylated Spirits (super cheap purple stuff) Resins... um... All the above are FAR FAR cheaper than this overkill.

Should mention that aceton might kill your plastic minis and bases.

@@spikeybitstv no brainer for metal stuff, use gasoline. The plastic minis are the ones people struggle with. Speed is what people are after, and ease of paint removal. Super Clean, or bio strip.

Great tutorial. I do have to say though that I used this exact chemical and technique but it did not have the same effect. Granted my models have had paint on them for about 20 years, however they’re not particularly thickly coated. I’m finding that a lot of scrubbing and chemicals are still not getting all the paint off. There are still stubborn areas that don’t seem to strip no matter what. Any advice?

For normal plastics and metal isopropyl alcohol bath for 30 minutes and a toothbrush for the win, not tried it with resin yet though. Do not get the liquid in your eyes of mouth and wear gloves.

[@thomesox]

[@PinoyCarter]

Been dickin' around with strippers and stripping methods. TLDR: either use ELO as the initial step or final step in stripping to completely clean plastic OR if you're willing to put a couple of hours into a single model that needs to be cleaned THAT day. LATA will get the job done just as well with a bit of a soak. Speed: ELO>LATA Sonic>LATA Soak. Who needs a model stripped right the f--- now though? This ELO stuff is the fastest. However, it is work intensive and NOWHERE near as quick & thorough as the video makes it out to be. It's great for open and low quantity of models for the stripping process (1-10?) . Open models being something like an assault intercessor, where an intercessor with bolt rifle in both hands going across his chest is what I consider closed. There is practically zero passive stripping, so the harder it is to get a brush somewhere the more time consuming it is. I have always needed a soak in another solution and/or sonic cleansing to clean it completely. Also, the reusability of the liquid is questionable. What I've used turned the light blue/grey/black of the paint I was stripping. So far it has remained just as effective but not something I want to return to the bottle. LA Totally Awesome (LATA) in a sonic cleaner is just as effective, more passive, cheaper, works in "bulk", but will need a day or two to get best results. It will take some brushing to get the last bits off, but can be workable without that step. LATA and nothing but scrubbing will do the job. It can take up to a week to be as clean as it can get without scrubbing. This degree of soaking will also weaken glue, so repairs will be necessary. However, 24-72 hrs *can* get it done depending on detail and paint type.

Yes but I never tried soaking them, so I cant speak to that.

I got some of this after watching this video to fix some Ebay scores. I had a Necron Night Scythe that felt like it was painted in a wood shop and got a ton of sawdust in the paint as it was drying, and a Necron Monolith that was primed solid black, but it was probably with some sort of automotive primer, because Simple Green couldn't touch it. The ELO got all of the paint off from the Night Scythe, no problem. The Monolith has been a bit more difficult. I finally got it down to plastic, but the paint as sort of melted and bonded to the plastic permanently. Have you ever had this experience? Is it safe to prime over?

[@spikeybitstv]

Some primers bond with plastic. I would maybe sand it with super fine grit sandpaper so that a new primer could be applied perhaps.

Best way I found of stripping weapons (that stick off the model) is suspend them above a tub of your stripping liquid in such a way only the weapon is under the surface, Try to leave a gap though or it will seep into the hand due to the wicking effect and start lifting the paint you want to keep, the last little bit can be scraped back with a scalpel after the bulk has been washed off, a helping hand is great for this

And then start dooing thing with a tooth brush. Effect is a lot weaker then this procces on video. Also soak the brush in acetone, and after, soak mianture couple more times for about 3-4sec.

Same issue with UK

Yeah I just looked and it's £54 but just use isopropyl alcohol %99.9 concentration it's about £7 for 1LT

Dang you would think Testors would sell this stuff everywhere?

[@sketchydev4656]

Just looked up the MSDS sheet on testors website - I suspect it's the Isobutanol (Isobutyl alcohol) that means they can't ship to UK. I could be wrong, but i think it might be one of those things that the general public can't buy in the concentrations found in ELO.

Rob, I Have never have seen or heard of this stuff before. But, why wait so long to bring this to the masses?

GrimmJD sometimes it just takes me a while for me to think of video topics :)

Why do you not soak them? Is that bad?

[@brightonbegole5459]

James Bigglesworth it might damage the minis over time.

@@brightonbegole5459 Ah, I see, thx

[@spikeybitstv]

Yeah it's just not necessary, the paint comes off so fast I never had to soak them.

[@jamesbigglesworth4677]

[@brightonbegole5459]

Spikey Bits THanks. Btw, can you confirm by a test or something that this works on plastic? I feel like it may not, since you didn’t use it on plastic in the vid and it was so efficient on metal that I’m a little worried.
