@@RowanElletson My pleasure. Simply green works well. I ordered some isopropyl alcohol online and hope to try it out this weekend. Might have to update my video if it works well. What minis are you stripping paint off of?
it definitaly is worth it- I bought a whole Tyranid army (1,9k points) 3rd hand for 200€. All models are still intact, but most of the models I need to strip, but as I can't paint as fast as I can strip the paint anyways, the extra time is no issue for the amount of money you can save. I soak them in 99% Isopropyl alcohol + give them a scrub with the toothbrush. Iso is tricky to use- when you dilute it too much, it completely lose its capabilities to strip paint from the minis. Biostrip 20 is supposed to work very well, too, but where I live it's hard to come by :/ It's a paste you soak the mini in for 20 Minutes and then you can just take away the layers of paint.
@@inquisitorinluzifera3406 I got the majority of my Flesh eater Courts army used on ebay. Saved tons of money. I tried isopropyl the other day. It worked really well. What army are you working on currently? Still nids? They look really fun to paint.
Great video! Nice to see another handy upload from you. One question: What is simple green? When i strip paint off old or second hand minis, I use isopropyl alcohol, or IPA. Judging by how you used simple green, it sounds like they are pretty similar.
@ you mentioned using isopropyl alcohol, what percentage is necessary to get the paint off? I have some in my house for cleaning tables but it’s only 70% alcohol. Is that strong enough?
@brianshobbyspace3569 honestly not sure what is required, the stuff I get is 100%. Also if you plan on using it, don't use it on resin models, they go all floppy, learnt that the hard way.

I was just looking for a video on how to strip paint, thank you!

@@brianshobbyspace3569 I bought a gravis captain (space marine) on eBay that had too many coats of paint to paint over

@@twigius5690 it is a household cleaner that is safe for cleaning almost anything. I first saw it in an infomercial back in the 90’s.
@brianshobbyspace3569 thanks, I'll keep an eye out next time I need to take the paint off some plastic 😁
