Lidl Pine Disinfectant

[Coronasan]

Good timing, I have a few plastics to strip.

[Silent bob]

Maybe that's half-dissolved paint residue left on and you need to use more?

Or were the figures a softer plastic?

I had the figures in the solution for about three weeks.

The figures were metal

Did you rub them in honey afterwards? I've heard this makes them sticky.*

keep dipping the toothbrush in white spirit, only use water at the very end.

I've switched to this stuff EBAY LINK BIO STRIP 20


dog's bollox, google-fu for lots of info.

Bought some cheers.....tired of nitromors and dettol smells....

[capt.carson]

Castrol Dextron II was my last stripper of choice. Only ever used on metal and no residue.

[YPU]

I hope to buy some tomorrow, I have a few monsterpocalypse minies that are horrendously painted by some robot. Who knows might actually get some detail out of them yet with this stuff.

[cheetor]

I irregularly had the stickiness problem with Dettol so I am interested in repirts on this. I currently use Nitromors on metals, which works but is horrible stuff.
 A less toxic solution that I can buy locally (rural Ireland) would be great.

Hmmm, a spray-on, eh? Interesting. I may dip my toe, so to speak, when the Lidl stuff runs out.

I don't spray it on, just pour it into jar and leave the figs in overnight.

Ah. I fear the price may prevent me from taking that course then, since the Lidl one is less than a tenth the cost.

not really, you get more BIO 20 for your cash (don't forget the ebay price includes p&p), and you constantly reuse it, I'm on my fourth batch from the first bottle.
Plus it's not harmful to the environment, takes less time to clean up the figures, doesn't stink, doesn't burn your hands.

[Hammers]

Will do. I'm trying to find a pic online, but for reasons unknown I can't find one.

It's called 'Beta-Zone Antiseptic Disinfectant' (the Lidl own brand) and has a big white cross on a green badge. I'll take a shot later and put it up.

...and a grinning skull above the cross?

[Heyer]

I went to LIDL and nothing there ,then i tried a big surface called AKI that bellongs to CARREFOUR,and my big surprise was that i found for the  first time in my life SIMPLE GREEN , i bought one bottle for 5,59€,it is not cheap but i had to try that magic liquid that everybody loves ,now i have a jar full with plastic and metal miniatures ready to be the test pieces,wish me luck .

Urm ... £10.65 for 750ml of Bio-Strip vs 89p for 500ml of disinfectant.

Dude, have a lie down.

and you constantly reuse it, I'm on my fourth batch from the first bottle.

You can re-use the disinfectant too, as I said.

Plus it's not harmful to the environment, takes less time to clean up the figures, doesn't stink, doesn't burn your hands.

You said you leave it overnight ... same as with the disinfectant. And I like the smell of pine.

Thanks for your recommendation, but despite your apparent passion for it, I'll leave it for now, thanks. Good shout and all, but let's not get crazy, me hearty.
