About this deal
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.
It is a highly volatile liquid and if the bottle were to leak it doesn’t need a naked flame a spark is enough to light the vapour from it.
Powdered is fine for stripping, but don’t use them for painting as you will get the powder all over your paint job. What I do know is that it strips paint off mini’s like nothing else and it’s bloody cheap for an absolute load of it!
Skin contact would be ok if not prolonged as they use it in hand wash gel, albeit not as concentrated. Simply place the model in a pot of Biostrip 20 ensuring good coverage then begin scrubbing with a toothbrush. Water-based, non-toxic and easy to use Biostrip 20 is quickly becoming the go to product for stripping miniatures.Leaving small components in a tub of methylated spirit cleans the pieces further and doesn't conflict with this product. After a couple hours you should already see the paint melting, and as long as the dried paint is in contact with Biostrip it will do its job - in other words, brushing the miniature with a toothbrush after a few hours and placing it back in the bag should do the trick.
This may be the preferred method if you’ve got entire armies to strip and don’t want to spend time scrubbing individual models.You can reuse the same alcohol indefinitely, just run it through a coffee filter to get the big chunks of paint out. I’ve stripped hundreds of metal and plastic miniatures in my life but I keep seeing biostrip 20 as this end all to figuring out the best paint stripper.
