For plastic models you need to let them sit for longer than a week, you can apply the same quick brush off plan but always resoak. Plastic is a pain in the butt with SG. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/2775374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/2775374.page GMT How long to Soak models in Simple Green?

What is better for Plastic? I have more plastic models to strip and if SG isn't the best way then I would like to make sure I use the best.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/2775375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/2775375.page GMT How long to Soak models in Simple Green? SG, and I've only stripped plastic with it. From my somewhat limited experience, I'd say it depends more what paint was used than how long it's been on there.

I snagged an old-style Rhino off of Ebay a while back that looked like it hadn't been touched in years. The Citadel paint came of completely within 2 days (2 soaks and 2 toothbrushings under warm running water), but it didn't even touch the black primer. Another model was 90% clean after a single overnight soak.

For your current models, knowing that SG won't harm the plastic, I'd just dump them in, occasionally popping one out to brush at under some running water. Finding out they're ready to scrub a few days earlier than you'd guessed is well worth taking 5 minutes to check one every now and again, not to mention the fact that anything that comes off during the test-scrub exposes more paint for the SG to start working on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/2778133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/2778133.page GMT How long to Soak models in Simple Green?
The SG removal on my SM is coming along well.

As for metal minis. Use acetone. It's fast and easy.

Plastic minis, simple green or fairy power spray soaked as described above.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/5816059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/5816059.page GMT Re:How long to Soak models in Simple Green? thread necromancy. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/5816175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367351/5816175.page GMT
