Indeed, you seem to have quite the job ahead of you Buttery.
P.S. I have been watching this blog for months and I only just realised that your username (and the name of this blog) is 'Buttery' not 'Butterly'. I don't know how or why I added the 'L' in there but I did.
I noticed you're a regular poster (8000 posts in a year, wowzer ) so i thought i'd check out your blog.
Never heard of Biostrip before, it looks super effective! I may need to invest. It seems to have the same effect as gun-cleaner on metal models, without completely dissolving the plastic. Whenever i've stripped a fig, i've always thought it would be neato to press the peeled paintwork and make artwork with it.
For me the water Kelpie is the highlight, very nicely done.
You also have an adorable, photogenic (vain? ), moggie, a big plus in my book!

Thank you!
And in all honesty, I am going to cut right back in 2016 because my posting was a symptom of my day job (machining clothing and having a cellphone in my other hand). I was mortified to see that total go so high.
The Biostrip tends to love certain primers and hate others. Some come off like that, and yes, you end up with a "skin" you can roll up or stretch.
Some turn to chalk crap that take 2-3 doses at 45min a go...
Some instantly wreck a toothbrush and turn into Dettol tar, and it's always red 1990s GW starter set paint. Instantly know it's a duff strip when I start one of those. All I can do is scrape and retry.
Mina is a tart. Some day I'll get the video of her stealing my milky tea up online.
Watching this blog fulfills any need for me to go to a strip club.
But I feel I should be shoving dollar bills into Butter's g-string.

I am, however, reminded of the bags and bags of marines that also need to go into the stripping bath. I wonder what biostrip is, in the US.

Agree with the others about the video, that paint came right off! Have you tried Simple Green (not sure if they have it in the UK?) and is this more effective?
I guess the flipside also, do you know if they have Biostrip 20 in the US, and if so what it's called?

Make sure if looking online, you are trying to buy Biostrip 20
"Biostrip" is an industrial stripper that will give you and your descendants cancer of the everything.
"Biostrip 20" is a milder product you may use indoors and wash off skin. It reeks of Ketones, and some of their claims are very dubious (in the U.K, companies only have to correct themselves on labelling claims if challenged), but is not going to shrivel your pebbles or melt your marines.

Over here, the lowest single note is £5 ($7.25), y'all couldn't afford me.

SG and Dettol work on the Iso alcohol basis iirc.
Biostrip works in 45 to 60 minutes to do what I showed above. You could completely clean even the most stubborn figure in 3 hours, and be painting the same day.
Is it safe? Pass.
Is it less stinky than Dettol and SG? Yep.
I do not know what the USA equivalent is, but I'll try and find out.

"Y'all"?
UK, via Texas?
Looks like they'll ship internationally, but I shudder to think of the cost. Back to Simple Green, for me.

I absolutely love Biostrip. I've just ordered another tub, 5 litres at £33 this time. My 500ml pot lasted ages, but I never want to go back to Dettol, and I think it is better than the old Fairy Power Spray, let alone the new version.
Though guards may sleep and ships may lay at anchor, our foes know full well that big guns never tire.
