Reply To: How to strip metal and plastic miniatures?

[killcrazy 2947xp 1]

Dettol works well but I’ve found that it leaves miniatures (especially plastic ones) smelling which can last ages.

I’ve found that (I’m in the UK by the way) Paint stripper from Wilkinsons is great, it’s quite harsh stuff, but not as bad as Nitromors (which is just awful).
I use 3 takeaway tubs, one with Wilko stripper, then rinse off in a degreaser (I use “elbow grease” which you can find in most cheap shops), then a final rinse in water. it’s a fairly quick process.

Plastic, metal and resin minis can all be stripped with the wilko stripper, I only leave them in for around 30mins, then a quick scrub with a toothbrush, mainly to get the worst of the goopy stripper off,
then a dip in the degreaser and another good scrub with the toothbrush,
final rinse in the water with more scrubbing.

Job done 😀
