Simple Green Questions

[Stephen]

As I've been told it's the best for stripping paint so here are a few question about it.

1. Is this the one every body uses? www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/CleaningTools/All-PurposeCleaners/PRD~0532462P/Simple+Green+All-Purpose+Cleaner%2C+4L.jsp?locale=en

2. How do you use it on the model. I'm planning on putting about 30 of them into a peanut butter jar and closing the lid.

3. How long? I thinking about 24 hours.

4. Any ideas for painting deathwing terminators?

Thanks for the help. ;D

My responses would be

1. This is what I use www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/PaintStains/WallRepair/PRD~0491012P/Simple+Green+Surface+Prep+Cleaner%2C+4L.jsp?locale=en

2. Sounds fine. I put mine in large plastic yogurt containers and slap the lid on

3. 24hrs is a good start. Sometimes you may have to go longer depending on the paint/primer that was used on the models

4. Lots of what used to be "Bone White"

1. yes
2. yes
3. 2 days to be sure... takes the paint right off... use a toothbrush on it... don't use the toothbrush on you after though
4. pink with daisies... why won't anyone paint their terminators this way???

Will I get extra points in the championship? ;D

I just got the one I mentioned in my first post and am wondering what concentration to use.

I don't know since I've never used it, but the stuff I had posted I use completely undiluted

I went ahead and did 100% after watching a video on Youtube but in the video the guy soaked them for 2 Weeks!

I usually do 2-4 days, but I usually mix 60/40 or 50/50 with water. I'm usually not worried about speed when stripping models.

Warm sink full of water, some rubber gloves and an old toothbrush and the paint comes off like butter. I usually give em a rinse under some running water once I'm done with the batch too.

I have found a few models that had what must of been automotive or some other very tough primer on them the primer wouldn't come off (the paint above it did tho), even with a week or so in the goo. Didn't really affect the model tho, an extra layer of primer isn't going to kill you as long as it was done right (and if it wasn't, chances on the simple green would of taken it off anyway!)

from what I've found out, be VERY careful with finecast models, they end up being soggy (like a sponge soaked in water)

so watch out

My favourite is the Disciples of Caliban


That's mostly black with some caliban green here and there, and pimp-gold-bolters.
