SO simple can I use simple green on fail cast and not have it do something negative besides remove the paint????


Or is their a better way to strip them.


Thanks

Can we please stop using these entirely not clever nicknames for the material? They stopped being funny about 15 minutes after the material was released. Also you only need one question mark. And it's "there", not "their".

I've stripped Finecast models using Simple Green. It worked fine. Just don't put too much pressure on the finer bits or they might break, same as plastic. Afterwards just run it under hot water and if things need to be bent or moved, do it.

For the record it is "there" not "their", nor "they're".

That said, Simple Green is safe for every material I have tried it on, including Finecast resin. Let it soak for a day or two and brush with an old tootbrush. Make sure to rinse thoroughly when you are done scrubbing. Let them dry and re prime.

Keep in mind that Simple Green often weakens or breaks Superglue bonds, so it is likely you will have to re build the models.

Wow, I'm a dumb. That's what I get for getting angry at people first thing in the morning

Simple Green is great stuff, seriously.

All right thanks for the English lesson, and the advise


Plus as for the nickname I have never bought one fine cast model ever, and if I can help it I never will till I'm forced to but then it was pretty rough at first but seems to be improving now. I picked them up thru a trade. Just wanted to make sure I was stripping them correctly before I do it. No need to ruin a few hundred bucks in models if I can help it.

So thanks

Where you obtained them has no bearing on you jumping on the "clever nicknames" bandwagon. It does bear witness to you having no definitive proof for yourself that finecast is bad, however.

General hints...Jumping on the bandwagon and using "clever" nicknames makes people want to help ya less.
