Paint stripping

Here is an interesting sight. It makes some interesting points about paint
stripping:

http://www.bonediggers.com/1-3/strip/strip.html

Specifically, he tried a bunch of models made of styrene and different
strippers. And some of the surface effects sound not desireable (dulling) in
some cases.

Additionally, I saw a commentary elsewhere (The link Chris sent me)
http://www.leadership10.com/misc/blog/zap/week14.htm
and this link talked about the problems with leaving minis soaking in the
various fluids (some interesting effects after prolonged exposure on the white
metal figures including the hardening of the little remaining paint after long
term immersion in brake fluid)

Additionally, the GW figures are some type of styrene FWIW. I don't know what
armourcast uses for Resin, but they say you can strip the paint off it using
anything that will strip styrene, as the resin is less solvent vulnerable. I
assume DLDs resin is perhaps something on the same order? David, care to chip
in with a comment or do I have to chase you down? (God knows, I might have to
strip some of my Kamodos or Civets one day).

I think, in order, we have: 1. Floquil Easy Lift Off 2. Castrol Super Clean 3.
Simple Green 4. Brake Fluid 5. Pine Sol

Note the pine sol will apparently damage some types of surface.... though what
particular plastics or resins this affects I'm unsure.

Since this is a little longer term project (I only have about 500 unpainted
GZG figs, so worrying about repainting the painted 200 is silly), I will post
the results I obtain on stargrunt.ca. I'll try to attempt several of these
methods on older lead figures (from the Grenadier lines), Ral Partha
Battletech Troopers, some future warriors (complete with plastic slottabases),
and some of my armourcast and epicast resins as well. And my styrene
Genestealers. All that ought to generate some reasonable empirical data.
