For any experienced Dust players around here (if there are any); I had painted some of my first models poorly (my first time) and I want to strip them (I cant paint over them cause I globbed the paint on too thick) and go back to them now that I got much better. But since Dust uses much softer plastics than Games Workshop minis, what is the best thing to strip them with? Please keep in mind, I live in the USA, so I can only get my hands on cleaning products in the US, preferably something I could go down to walmart or something and get my hands on easily, that wont melt my miniatures. I used "the army painter" line of paints, which are water-based arcylic paints. I didnt use any primers under it, since Dust pre-primes for you. (if anyone knows about if the solution will remove Dust's primer, I'd like to know too, if it can be removed)

I heard that using denatured alcohol solvent, also known as; methylated spirits, is pretty safe, but would it be okay on this softer plastic?

Lemme know, chaps.
Thanks.

Wal-Mart carries Simply Green. Can't hurt to run a test on some sprue, but it should work just fine.

The important thing to remember is that the formula sold at Wal-Mart has to be used full-strength. Diluting it really kills its ability to remove paint.

Couldnt hurt to try it on one model.

just monitor it regularly to see what happens.

im sure isoalcohol or purple power or simple green may work.

iv never tried denatured alcohol though so not sure.
