I just want to say thank you for your videos on how to use Army Painter SpeedPaint. I just finished putting a metallic Sundrop on my Cry Havoc army minis. Your test videos help me navigate using metallic zenithal prime and then SpeedPaint. Greatly appreciate it!
I've dunked loads of minis in my tub. I just leave the mini whole in the tub and close the lid. Come back an hour later and run it under tap with toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you get the old paint in the tub, my tub is all sorts of colours from all the minis that have been left in there, it doesn't affect how good it works.
I guessed this would be the case. But it’s fantastic to hear a first hand account. That will speed it up even further and limit touching! Thank you for the bonus advice!!
I've seen Biostrip used to great success by another TH-camr (MSPaints maybe?) on a range of minis including metals when they were trying to rescue a job lot of second hand space marines - looks like a strong contender for all mini stripping needs. The only thing I'd say, is maybe use a washing up bowl or similar for the rinse rather than having water running and spattering all over your sink? Probably not an issue for a couple of minis but for more than 4 it would make a lot mess and waste a lot of water.
Hahha. Funny you mention this. I actually did a whole bit about that in the video. But decided I sounded a bit preachy and it made the video even longer! Was worried I’d annoy people but you’re spot on. I too would advise this! Thanks for dropping this comment
I found this in another video a few years back, ordered a tub from Amazon and I've been very pleased with it. I've mostly used it on frostbite victims (i.e. badly varnished minis) but the latest one was due to misuse of contrast paint. I just dunk them and then leave them to drip on a plastic lid. A lot of the stuff runs off but I pick that up with the toothbrush to put some extra on hard to reach places. I do find that it has a faint smell but nothing unpleasant or headache inducing.
Nice video. I did my first strip last night. 12 hr with super clean. But I used an electric toothbrush and it was a gem. Didn't get everything but almost. And super quick. Minus the 12 hour soak.
Looks good to me! I've been using Simple Green to high success, then got a sonic cleaner to bump it up higher. (Wife has super high sense of smell, so I don't tend to use anything else in the house.) I'll keep this in mind for later, if I need to do stuff on the road.
I do the exact same (we call Simple Green "Glanzer" here, only difference), the sonic cleaner finishes the job perfectly for me, I even use Simple Green in it sometimes instead of water.
I use dettol in a small tub and leave them for a few days, or a year if you forget you have some Zombicide minis still in there! 😬. But, the stuff really stinks and its a pain to remove the gunk off the mini after as you can't use water to wash it off. I'll definitely be getting a tub of this stuff in the vid for sure for my next mini stripping time.
Not sure. I know mine is a cheap Chinese made one I got from Harbor Freight. The electronic controls on it are goofy. But I can make it do what I want usually.
Best paint stripper i ever tried are the ak interactiv one, that takes of anything in a few minutes and dont damage the plastic. I tried a bunch of them and the ak interactiv one is the best, it took of varnish, 3 heavy layers of colorshift metalics and the primer last time i used it, its not much smell from it either. And you just rub the piece with a toothbrush and the stripper and even if you got to do it 2 times to get it all it still takes less than 10min even with a full scale model car kit in 1/24 scale, like the last thing i stripped
Good to know! I’ll pick some up and try one day. Loving this one at the moment, not that I strip often but I think it being quick and smell free is what I care about most atm
@@WatchItPaintIt yeh, i dont strip a lot of model either, but if i fuck up a color scheme or just have issus with how the paint leveled after its dried on a big surface like a car body
@@ml6158 about 5-6 euros pr bottle and since youll only need a tiny amount on the toothbrush to rub the paint of it will last a good while, so i dont feel thats expenciv for what you get. But do what ever works for you and youre hobby budget
I find it works better if you place the mins in a tupperware type box with the lid on so they don't dry out . Mind you i've just washed speedpaint off with warm water .
Hahaha! I don’t know if I love or hate that about Speedpaints! But it’s an awesome property for beginners to reset and start again! Thanks for the info!!!

I wasn’t aware of this product. Thank you. Is it safe for resin?
I have only done one resin miniature but there were no ill effects from my small data set :-)
@@WatchItPaintIt thanks!
Nice video as always! Did you pledge the undead or alive zombicide? Do you plan to make some tutos on it?
I didn’t I’m afraid but if I ever see it cheap at retail I will definitely grab a copy. Just got the dawn of the dead edition!
thanks for the video., been looking for a way to strip off my primer on my minature after using a bad GW spray can.
Oooh this should do the trick!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks Mark!!

What is that miniature at 1:55 from/ where can I get it?-The robo cuthulu one
I wish I could remember. Maybe I got it in my model box subscription. If you’re in the Uk you’re welcome to my, now clean, miniature :-)
@@WatchItPaintIt Live in the USA unfortunately, thanks for the offer tho
I usually use a cleaner called L.A.'s Totally Awesome. And If I need to speed it up I used my small ultrasonic with that cleaner in it.
I got a small ultrasonic cleaner but I found it to be useless. Did I just get a crappy fake one from China?

Love this stuff.
That dwarf looks amazing.
I literally spit up soda at the thumbnail. Thanks.
Hahah, I’ve had that thumbnail for over 4 years just waiting to make this video :-D
How about stripping primer?
I find this takes the primer off too! At least Army Painter’s
Love the dad humor
Comes free with the birth of you first child, part of the deal I think :-D
@@WatchItPaintIt it absolutely does, have one myself and my dad humor was strong before, it had become really strong now 🤣
I once knew an all purpose stripper. Nice young lady.
Haha. That made me laugh more than it should
And I thought this was a family friendly channel!
:-D
I just dunk mine in white spirit for 10 houres
I think that works fine! Takes longer and I hate the smell but it gets the job done!
Wheres the mommy from the thumbnail?
She was looking after the miniature so I could make the video :-D
@@WatchItPaintIt Damn. Some post-credit cameo next time😃
Why is the thumbnail a woman with a baby?
Cos we got paint all over my miniature?
What is with the thumbnail?
Had to clean the paint off my miniature?
I was just confused as to why a woman is holding an infant
Haha. Sorry. Was me my wife and I painting with our daughter 6 years ago and a funny picture I took of the mess she got in
Ah, ok, thats fair.
Was it a deliberate joke that there’s a stripped miniature in the thumbnail lmao
My daughter after being first introduced to paints 6 years ago :-D had that thumbnail in the bank all these years :-D
