They don't take too well to brake oil. Anyone found a material that's good for safely paint stripping finecast minis?

I don't have any fine cast, but the resin 40k basing kit stripped perfectly fine in Dettol Antiseptic liquid. If the resin for those bits is the same or similar enough material I would reccomend that.

I just tested the other day a piece of Finecast sprue in L.A.'s Awesome (which I use for stripping everything else).
It wasn't painted, so I don't know if it'll take off the paint, but after leaving it for two days it didn't melt it at all.

Hope that helps.

Thanks gents. Will give these a try.

Cheers,

One tip is to use a bit of sprue, painted in the same manner, to test the fluid before dunking a $15 mini in it.
