RESTORE YOUR CUTTING MATT

[@SamBalducci]

For those in the USA, use Ready-Strip from Home Depot

[@kh0rney]

Would love to see how it works on minis, I'm fully on board the Wilkos cult now

[@darronb248]

I agree 👍

[@JavidsonTheFirst]

Works great on minis, plastic and metal can be left in it for a week no problem. Finecast resin does go floppy if you leave it that long.

[@littlejimmy5020]

Yup

[@darrenchantler2562]

Handy tips like this are always useful...keep it up pass them on

[@HouseDM]

I wonder if you can get that solution State side. Ill check it out, thanks Luke! My mats are horribly messed up lol.

[@lateciamadethis]

I too have tried using isopropyl alcohol and >eek< acetone to clean my mats, but thought that paint stripper would be too harsh. This is flipping amazing! 🤯

[@RGMGFitness]

Thanks Mate! Just about ready to buy a new mat and it's good to know they can be cleaned up that easy..vs buying another mat. Cheers! You should through in some links to some good mats you might recommend as well. I'm looking for a new mat and stumbled across your video.

[@Mommamacnz]

This was a very useful wee video on how to get paint off your cutting mat. Thanks for the idea. It would be fun to see how you use it to strip a miniature.

[@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter]

That is beautiful! I have made the mistake of sticking ISO or acetone before and had a little teary moment when I saw I was wiping my grid away from the mat. Lovely little tip this mate. Smashing.

[@ROilman]

I actually picked this stuff up on a bit of a whim and was really pleased with the results on my minis, didn't even occur to me to clean my matts with it though, my eyes have been opened.

[@pauldaley9626]

Things like this make working in a clear hobby space productive. Well done

[@janicejoyce366]

Thank you for being English and I know the shop. May the Gods bless you sir..xx❤

[@logiclust]

this was very helpful. my matt is covered in now-tacky primer and so now i'll just do this. Cheers! Subbed

[@nick_5397]

well Luke these tips will help alot of guys and girls so dont stop please.

[@JamieLycronisMcCutchen]

Simple Green is another great product to clean and remove paint, from both surfaces and miniatures. It's what I use by default.

[@outofthisworldmodelsandmin898]

It removes paint but not the grid?

[@ObsidianDragon616]

You can also rap Cling Film around your painting area for when your just painting.

[@RATFather]

I cannot tell you how damn happy that I found your channel, sir. I haven't seen a single video of yours that I disliked YET, AT ALL. I am literally JUST NOW getting back into the hobby, so YES PLEASE continue with these AWESOME VLOG Tips. Seriously, no BS, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Last thing... thank you for posting up US links for equipment purchases. Very, VERY helpful! Cheers buddy!

[@tonysilvey]

I'd like to see more of your George Fornby impersonations 😂😂😂

I second that motion.....🤣🤣

[@darronb248]

I third that

"We all have cutting mats" - Luke *Sobbing without a cutting mat* I don't even build mate, I just watch your cheeky vids and play at my mates.

[@inspirationforge4578]

wow thanks -my mat is a mess gotta see if I can get a hold of that here in Canada

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Wow, that worked incredibly well!

[@TheLoremistress]

I like your quick videos. They are a good alternative for when you're on the run.

[@paulcharters5933]

Great video cheers. Do you have any suggestions on removing superglue?

[@Karadek]

Great tip. I think the series of short videos on quick tips on related issues is an excellent idea.

[@QuiniansBudgetCrafts]

Always good to have tips like this. I've been scrubbing mine in the sink under hot water with a soap wand lol

[@greywulfslair]

Thanks for that. I'd love to see how you use that stuff to strip minis too. Cheers!

[@13Robzilla]

Right on, thanks for sharing the tip.

[@jesss1398]

This is super helpful! I have a mat that needs some TLC and I have been wondering how to clean it. Thank you for doing this.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Handy tips! Clean clean clean..

[@colinedwards3422]

Excellent tip, thanks for posting. Anymore?

[@foehammer1172]

Cool, this is my go to product for stripping minis. Never thought to use it on cutting mats! Thanks!

[@PeterLiebetrau]

Yeps .. such quick simple tips are cool, as long as they dont take the place of your regular tutorials. ;) Thanks.

[@wellwasp]

This is my go to stripper for all minis now, with accertone to melt super glue and welded on stuff on metals it is great stuff.

[@jakerobson2067]

Love to see how you use it to strip minis. I already use it on metals but I think I don't use it properly...... also keen to see it used on plastic and resin minis

[@MightyMadFish]

Classic Cheap and Easy guide, this is the stuff I subscribed for

[@rogerjclarke]

I'd like t to see more videos like this one. Thanks, Luke.

[@DarkLeafNinja]

Luke i need a video about varnishing with cans. I have seen Your other ones with how to spray and preventing from chips but I just need a video that shows it in practice of actually varnishing miniatures.

[@AD-qd7ps]

good tip - i wdn't have even thought about stripping paint from my cutting board. would have just bought a new one, and like you said it can cost £15+. Thanks for the tip - keep them coming, as it helps novices like me! :)

[@waynehayman8183]

Most impressive. I must try this myself

[@bordenfleetwood5773]

Beautiful. Love seeing tips to keep your tools in good condition.

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

This is a very usefull and very handt tip. Thank you 😉👍. And i would like to indeed see a video of stripping paint of minis. Have a bunch of old ones that need it 😁

[@callindrill]

Dude. Love this. Would love to see more of these kinds of vids.

[@evamooney2953]

Does the paint stripper remove stains from mat too?

[@IanJoshuaSantosallthingian]

Does this remove superglue also? 🧐

[@mainemodelsplus.]

Shop maintenance and organization is a large part of being efficient and safe. If your bench is a disaster you will be less likely to do top quality work .... keeping bad habits in the long term will wear you and your hobby down til its just not enjoyable .... and eventually one may just quit.

[@CatfishJimSoapdish]

Will it deal with milliput?

[@lynnmoore3684]

Does this also work for getting spilled superglue off? And does it mess up the self-healing properties?

[@Fnordathoth]

Definitely happy with this, you should continue with these quick tip vids for sure.

[@paulsniadach6909]

Luke I enjoy the quick videos the are very helpful, so thank you mate!!

[@athollmcnicoll256]

That is a really good tip as mine are A3 size but like yours absolutely Manky, so next q is in Aberdeen have we got a Wilko's store ? Got a B&Q DIY Store and outside a great little eatery that do fantastic Boar Burgers with Chips £5. Cheers mate

[@ZyneOG]

Super helpful, thanks for this vid - Was also great to meet you at Ardacon and chat about all your manufacturing gubbins.

[@michaeljacobs2860]

where can i purchase a large size painting grid matt like the one in this video

[@DILLIGAFDA]

Can we just auto wax our cutting mats use the scraper and done. Will it work?

[@modelsfromscratch]

Top idea, mate. Love the quick tips idea. Hope your on the mend👍👍

[@andrewtate4897]

I've used Wilko's paint stripper before to strip metal miniatures it's good stuff not harsh at all, I've been wondering if it will strip miniatures of resin or plastic without damage.

[@nightingalemedia4288]

If I'm not bothered about the grid, would ISO be good for cleaning it?

[@WigWagWorkshop]

But will it clean glue mess?

[@bitzbox]

I use Biostrip 20 for the same job which is obviously not as cost effective but it works almost instantly. I will certainly switch to Wilkos brand mind you. Definitely do more quick tip style videos!

[@bitzbox]

@@GeekGamingScenics Oh nice. I assume being a Wilko product it's a lot cheaper

[@jules_paints_40k29]

Nice little tip that mate and I wouldn't mind seeing more of these short videos

[@teknomancer6024]

Brilliant tip. Thanks.

[@dickybird6916]

I use the windowline spray.

[@borischivapallottole]

Hi Luke! awesome video and great tip, thank you! subscribed to your channel immediately after wateched this video! :) one question: what color do you prefer for a cutting mate to paint miniature? I've seen you have one green and I've seen a lot of artists using a black one, is there any difference to the eye or is it just a personal preference?

[@matthall143]

Thanks Luke for the great idea......I wonder how many other great ideas are waiting to be revealed?

[@keithwortelhock6078]

Great little video! Please do the series!

[@scrubsrc4084]

Since nitomors paint stipper went limp and isn't as good as it used to be we often use wilkos own, it's nice stuff

[@kentlangham5811]

I found this super useful. If you do the video on using it on mini's, just remember that if you use "stripping" in the title You-tube may demonize the video. I can't wait to see it.

[@Deep-Red-0]

& yes I'd like to see a vid on stripping minis with Wilko's paint stripper

[@CAMSLAYER13]

It'll probably dissolve the plastic

[@CAMSLAYER13]

@@GeekGamingScenics that's pretty interesting, I might have to look into that stuff

[@donbuckmaster6922]

Great tip man nice to know I don't have to ruin my matt to clean it!!

Yes! More of these please! Good stuff 😄

[@newfenrisrailroad621]

Useful tip thanks mate. Keep em coming please

All joking aside. I appreciate these videos. Thanks for sharing

liking the quick vids, poor lighting on this one but the message was definitely put across. More vids please ☺👍

Superb tip cheers Luke, more if you have them. Frank

[@Beardednortherner]

Awesome tip, mine is filled with over spray so I'll give this a shot

[@cyborggoldgaming9690]

Absolutely want to see the mini striping method! I personally dislike the Vallejo pre applied primer, and it's a pain in the ass.

[@seangere9698]

That's why I use a wet box/wet board or whatever else you want to call it when I pant. Also you could get a roll of clear floor mat and cut a piece that fits on top of your mat that way it gets messy and your mat stays clean. Easy to clean and or move when you need your cutting mat. Just don't cut on it or you will have cut lines all over it and it looks like junk.

[@farpointgamingdirect]

Would Citristrip work?

[@farpointgamingdirect]

@@GeekGamingScenics citrus based paint stripper. Couldn't find the brand you used.
