Rise and Shine.... It's Mr Muscle TIME! (How much time?)

[matt15595]

Basically, I was wondering how long I should leave plastic mini's in soak of Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner (anyone who has first hand experience would know) in order to strip the paint (and yes I am willing to do a little bit of scrubbing and stuff).

The models I am stripping are the GW Fellowship models (all of them except Aragorn) and they have been undercoated with GW black spray, and painted with GW colours (albeit a little thickly) , so any tips would be appreciated on how to get these back to new-ish (or just to the undercoat stage).

THANKS!

Ive never used Mr Muscle myself, but if its anything like Fairy Power Spray (which i suspect it is) i tend to give it 30 mins for acrylic stuff, then start hitting it with the toothbrush, then a final scrub with WU liquid (dish soap?), then a really long wash under the tap

First, wear gloves. NaOH doesn't burn much but it's still bad.

Second, isn't Drain-O basically the same thing?

ok here goes nothing! testing it on my first model which i know definitely is pure GW paints. going to leave it an hour see what is happening then.

thanks

three days passed since that hour... I think it's safe to assume too much acid was used and he melted his internet connection.

yes... yes it did melt my house....


nah i left them for about 30 hours and it seems to have come off a bit... but i think i know what i am doing now with it and my gandalf figure is happily in soak now

if he decides to burn then i will cry
