Removing paint from miniatures

[Daedalus]

Reposition the free arm backward and add a torch in it, right behind it's squatting arse. When it shoots a fireball, turn it with its backside facing the Heroes...and FOOM! Fireball, orky-style. Of course, the Heroes would probably suspect something, so you'd need a regularly-posed double on the board to start.

Sjeng, can you post me a direct link to the dettol product you use? I couldn't find a bottle like yours.

I bought it in a local grocery store...

Try a pharmacy?

Isopropyl alcohol strips paint off of miniatures particularly well, actually.

I still advocate Simple Green. Smells nice and handy around the house too.

Where can I buy that, then?

Um...I'm not sure how to obtain it in Finland. Sorry.

I read in more than one place that Simple Green is the North American way to go, and Dettol the European way. SG smells, Dettol stinks. SG is not available in Europe. That's my information, at least.

Isopropyl Alcohol works as well as Simple Green. Simple Green is water, ethoxylated alcohol (alcohol that is more soluble with water), sodium citrate (acidity regulator--it makes things "glob" up when dissolved), and (most importantly) 2-Butoxyethanol, which is a solvent used in pretty much every cleaning product.

Isopropyl alcohol is a powerful solvent that is commonly used to remove both oil and water-based paints. Basically, it cleans painted objects.
