...a VERY useful tip, for those of us into lead/pewter/zinc etc. wargaming miniatures. Ever bought these secondhand, or wanted to redo a poxy paintjob? ...and as you know, paintstripper is good, but not brilliant, always leaves SOME behind in bloody awkward places.
Well, there IS a solution - quite literally! IF theyre painted in modelling enamels, as used to be the ONLY way to do it - in bygone years before the "awful" creation of acrylics.....
Cheap liquid ovencleaner in a handpump bottle!
Put the miniatures in a glass container - even a tumbler! - fill to the top with the liquid oven cleaner. Walk away. Come back 48 hours later and wash them clean in cold water.
And my god will they be clean!!!
