Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

What to use for stripping old minis? (lemmy.ca)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My coworker gifted me a big box of old chaos space Marines. Most of them have been converted to noise marines, but they are a mix of metal and plastic, and all on 25mm bases.

Separating them from the bases is easy but what's the general consensus on stripping minis that are combinations of plastic, plastic and metal and all metal?

I do have access to a ultrasonic cleaner, if that helps, Just curious on what products are safe for the models.

Thanks for the suggestion! It looks like super clean is available here in Canada, but it's 4x the price, gotta love Canadian pricing. I'll definitely check this out. But as someone else suggested I might try Dettol and IPA first as those are cheap and readily available.
