Stripping paint from minis

In additional to health risk, those also difficult to dispose properly. Nasty stuff.

The best part of simple green is you could put (proper) plastic minis in it for a year and it won't harm the plastic. Just a little color change. Not sure about the softies.

Leave it in for 24 hrs. Theres no toxic fumes- in fact you can hold it under your nose and all you smell is minty freshness. After the 24 hres take the mini, run some hot water over it and go at it with a toothbrush and toothpick if need be.

Will not hurt resin or pewter.

Treehugging paint stripping. Booyah.


I assume you then needed to take a brush to it to get everything off?

You'll need a medium or firm toothbrush and I also suggest you get a pointed metal tool of some kind, because in almost all cases there will be some stubborn crevices you'll need something beyond a brush to clear. I use a small sculpting tool and that works well. A dull exacto-blade can also work but you need to be a little careful not to scratch the model with that.

A plastic toothpick also works.
