Try paint thinner with a metal brush, like the one I use to clean my golf clubs. Maybe it was becuse of my oil based primer I use. I had tried it before and scrubbed all day with no success. It does not work as well with oil based paints once they are dry. Rubbing alcohol works well on most water based paints. I got the idea from an artist that works with my wife. I just soaked them for about 10 minutes and the paint came right off with a little brushing. I had used Citadel paints but never sealed them. I haven't done a lot of painting and even less stripping.īut, I just used Rubbing Alchohol to strip some Wood Elves. We're talking little or no scrubbing or brushing at all! After you rince them off, let them soak in a warm bath of soapy water to wash off what little chemical may be left on the minis and you're done! If you can get a high pressure nozzle for your hose, it helps "power" some of the paint from the cracks. Bix is cuite caustic, but the fumes aren't so bad when you work with it outside. Then flush the minis in the jar with water (from a hose)and watch the paint just go away! You need to do this outside, and with rubber gloves. then pour off the bix (either dilute with water or seal in a separate container and throw away). Let them sit for about 30 min to an hour depending on paint thickness. You just take a few minis in a glass jar and just pour the bix over them. What you need for the metal is BIX stripper. Snots has a wonder brand, don't really know what actually but it works all right I've heard rumours that Dettol (a UK antibacterial cleaner) works wonders - I'll be trying that one out tonight. I have tried using turpentine, soaking the minis for three weeks, then brushing using a tooothbrush but it is still REALLY hard work and the paint in crevices is nigh on impossible to get out.
#Bix stripper how to
When I begin to imagine molds, layup, different factories, different raw materials, different suppliers, it's no wonder frames are so schizophrenic.Does anyone have any advice on how to quickly and easily strip paint off old minis? I am mainly using metal ones, so I dont need to worry about melting plastic, although advice on that would be nice too. This process has enlightened me to how sensitive the racquet recipe is to its ingredients. The n90, to me at least, has a weird balance, so maybe this change will turn out to be a good thing. Feels just the opposite flexier in the throat now, like there is more weight on the ends and less in the middle. The weird part is it doesn't feel/swing that way. That would suggest that more paint collected on the lower part of the racquet. Went from 8 to 9 pts head light, but the static weight is the still the same. Makes perfect sense now that I think about it - there is almost an ounce of mass in the paint, and depending on how evenly or unevenly it's applied, it can really alter the balance and feel. I was very careful with the static weight, weighing between each coat, but I didn't think to keep an objective eye on the balance. The biggest difference is the balance has changed. With the n90, that is probably not such a bad thing.
I haven't played any matches with it yet, but hit some serves and groundstrokes against a wall.įirst thing I noticed is that it sounds different a little brighter, less muted and more raw.
