Hey everybody, don't worry about another paint stripping thread, I have searched this topic and have found no results. I recently did a conversion on an old painted model with greenstuff, plastic glue, and superglue. I didn't think of stripping the model before hand but now i want to strip it without ruining all my GS work and VERY precise and time consuming gluing. What product do you guys suggest?

simple green. Works wonders. Lysol also works. I have used both to spot strip large models.

I received a bunch of metal models with terrible paintjobs, and stripped them with Pinesol.
After leaving them in overnight, I still had to chip the glue off by hand.
Not sure about greenstuff, though.

My suggestion would be to get a piece of plastic, put a spot of each adhesive you're worried about, allow them to dry fully, then test out the removers people have suggested so far.
