Dissolving hardened Miliput?
« on: March 08, 2011, 10:21:11 AM »
I had a note on how to d this which I have lost? My dental tools are caked to a degree where it's become quite unsightly. Does anyone know what does the trick, bar elbow grease?

Also would like to know the trick. Till today used a file tool but that damages the surface.

Paint stripper will soften milliput so much it just rubs off. Something like nitromor would do the trick :)

Thatnk you I will try that. About Alex's question: is it possible to use a bit of paint stripper on a brush to smooth the surface of miliput? Or will it urn to shit if I try it?

I'd try cutting or scraping with a blade, or possibly even gently grinding them off.

Acetone maybe?  It worked on green stuff.

Blackstone has it right  :)

Hammers, a damp soft brush with a bit of *insert brand name here* thinners should do the trick but don't do too much at once as it might ruin what you have already.

(I always thought you were creepy anyway  ;D )

cheers
