Hi, thought I'd share this product with you guys! At least here in Finland Fairy Power Spray has a new formula nowadays and I'd been looking for a suitable replacement for paint removal.
I stumbled upon some discussion of this on a scale modelling forum and thought I'd give it a try. 3 pounds from Hannants for a small 25ml bottle. The instructions suggest you apply it by painting on the area where you want to remove paint, but I didn't find it very effective. However submerging a mini for around 10 minutes removed pretty much all paint even from the smallest recesses. Great stuff even though it's quite expensive. Still storing it in a tub where you submerge minis will probably make it last quite a while compared to painting it on.
To put it short, this is absolutely the best thing I've ever tried for paint removal. And should be completely safe for plastics as well.
Slightly longer story on my
blogMy test mini was some old plastic Chaos Space Marine with a horribly thick paintjob that covered all detail.
10 minutes and most of the paint is gone. I used a toothbrush for removing most of the paint and a toothpick to take out some left over stuff from tight spots.
