Panda Commander Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Is there a readily-available, easy to use chemical which will: a) Remove all of the Tamiya acrylic paint from a Tamiya 1/48th kit, while; b) - not dissolving superglue to loosen all of the tiny brass photoetch l’ve added, and; c) - not melting my face off or dissolving my lungs?

bentwaters81tfw Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Or you can use brown Dettol. It contains IPA if you don't mind the disinfectant smell. Soak and rinse off with water, scrub with a toothbrush if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yes - isopropanol alcohol (IPA) applied with a cotton bud although I worry about the p.e. If those bits are tiny you'll have to be just a bit careful with the cotton bud not to bend them out of shape. Mark PS Didn't know that about dettol - although personally I think I'll stick with IPA as dettol does stink a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneheadff Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Or just use Gunze's Mr Color thinner...applied with a cotton swab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo NZ Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Or soak it in Simple Green - it's non toxic and doesn't affect CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
