Today i found simple green! i bought 4 bottles of it lol.

Do i dilute them with water? or just throw them into container with the minis?

Will plastic be safe? Is plastic container ok? do i need to put lid on it? how long do they soak for?

Woo me so happyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I found it worked better not diluting it. I put some plastic models in it for a few weeks with no problems.. At about a month, some plastic areas got soft. I put about 30 eldar in one bottle, then did about 40 necron metals and I could still re-use it. It is toxic though so wash your hands thoroughly and don't breathe too much in.

Don't dilute and it's perfectly safe for plastic.
i also suggest using some rubber cloves. it can irritate your skin.
get an old toothbrush and you're all set!

How should i proceed on soaking my chimera?

what if the simple green get inside my tank would that be ok? If i didnt manage to get it out 100%
will it one day leak out and eat my new paint job from within?

If it can get in, then air can get in and it'll evaporate.

Don't forget to chant the Litany of Removing Paint while submerging, retrieving, and scrubbing the Emperor's Holy Chimeras.

Sorry i dont believe in Teh Emporah!

Who's talking about the Emperor? It's the Machine-God that answers prayer!

Also, a few sacrifices to the blood god won't hurt either

Simple Green in great (It's available in by the gallon around here?)

I use it for my Forge World stuff and recently just soaked an old metal dread overnight. Next day with a bit of scrubbing from a toothbrush everything came of pretty easily.

I have a model I want to repaint. Does Simple Green weaken super glue as well?

just take your chimera into the shower and wash it for a minute or so.

if the simple green gets into the chimera,the water does as well and will wash it out
