First of all, the best part of IPA is you can use it to clean the containers you stripped your models in so you can keep using them over and over. if you are pouring your Games Workshop paints into dropper bottles, you can clean your funnels. Now, I want to stress that I am no chemist, but from what I understand copied from (from Wikipedia) IPA is;

When I say Pipe Cleaner, I don’t mean the things kids use for creating fuzzy characters, I mean Ye Olde Pipe Cleaners, the actual ones for cleaning pipes. you’ll have a better chance of finding these nowadays if you search for Pipe Brushes. Blame your childhood for changing the name of what these actually are.

The main reason for this is that most of the products here are very country-specific. Even the generic products like brake fluid and nail polish remover. People tend to want to see the ‘exact’ product used in other people’s examples and buy that exact product to get the exact same results. The issue here is that in your country, you’re probably subject to entirely different brands than those shown in the example you see. So you won’t get your hands on that exact one you want. The best examples I’ve seen are somewhere between SimpleGreen and Super Clean. You can’t get these in the UK, the best thing you can get in the UK is Dettol, an antiseptic and disinfectant which works for me but it’s really expensive and makes a hell of a mess! Then just put the model in and submerge it for at least 20 minutes. I’ve found that 40 minutes is the sweet spot for the first pass. This allows the IPA to penetrate deep into the paint and eat away at it. BIOSTRIP 20� is a revolutionary paint stripper that is safer for both the user and the environment. It is suitable for use in the home by the DIY enthusiast and also for large industrial applications as an alternative to Methylene Chloride based products. You can make all manner of thinners or drying retarders for your paints, I’ve not looked into this too much myself but mixed with a few other chemicals and household products you can apparently make some great support fluids at a fraction of the cost of what they sell for in stores. I’ll have a go at this for a future blog post. Just make sure you have some dropper bottles to store your mixes in.

Note that I never had any issues on resin either. As stated font soak minis too long as the material itself may be resistant but the solvent may remove plasticisers, addives etc which can render the mini softer or brittle. Clean your Airbrush with it, Whilst I wouldn’t soak your whole airbrush in IPA as it will likely break down your rubber seals. Dropping IPA in an Ultrasonic Bath along with your metal airbrush parts will clean them up very nicely. You can create a safer mix with some Distilled water which will be better on your seals and just submerge the lot if you want See below for examples of the results of IPA. How to Strip Paint Off Miniatures – Plastic Deathwing Terminator Non Toxic - safer for the user and the environment than traditional methylene chloride based products Does not give off hazardous or noxious fumes – ventilation not required. Suitable for use indoors or in confined spacesIf it can't be helped, dilute with plenty of water before disposing in the drain, but do avoid that. Ideal for use by do-it-yourself enthusiasts, as well as professional users. Our water based paint strippers are safer for you, your family and the environment. In addition they are economical to use. You Can’t Really get this Wrong, I’ve used Latex and Nitrile without any issues reacting with the IPA. The only risk is that when you are handling the miniature, the spikey bits can pierce the gloves. See the warning section above for how this went wrong for me. Latex gives you more tactile response when handling the minis (and it’s kinky, because Latex). But constant use with some latex products can cause a skin reaction that makes your hands itch and peel. Nitrile removes this issue but you can’t feel the model as easily through them. Whatever you get, don’t get powdered gloves as they will powder your mini. Powdered is fine for stripping, but don’t use them for painting as you will get the powder all over your paint job. If you want to make sure you don’t get any glove piercings, slap on some marigolds. Gloves come in various sizes, so ensure you get the right size. make sure they are nice and tight, there are plenty of sizing guides online. There isn’t much in the process to Strip Paint off Miniatures but based on my experience using this for a number of years now there are a few things to note. The first of which is that your results (and amount of effort you need to put in) will vary based on how the miniature was initially prepared and what type of paint is on it. Ensure a plug is in the sink when you rinse the model. We don’t want you losing parts down the plug hole!
