Cleaning Paint & Epoxy Off Miniatures

Cleaning Paint & Epoxy Off Miniatures Some while back someone asked about
cleaning up old miniatures. Here is my contribution for what it is worth.

Cellulose paint stripper removes everything from old miniatures. I put some
old GW Star Trek miniatures in a jam jar (jelly jar?) of the

stuff and left them for a week. It ate everything but the metal including old
Aroldite (2 part epoxy glue). It left a nasty mess but this was easily removed
by scrubbing with an old toothbrush under running water. It stinks, it is
toxic and you do not want it on your hands but it works.

For removing acrylic paint cellulose thinners is wonderful. A brief immersion
in it strips it all. Again nasty stuff to work with.

I hope this helps, MRB
