Stripping wargaming miniatures with Simple Green

Okay, so Dale from bootleg painting did a series of videos (on his old account bootlegtattoo) amongst which was info about stripping miniatures. He talked about trying all types of products but recommended giving Simple Green a try.

So .... I'm giving it a shot. And seeings YouTube (yes, I realize I said eBay in the video) canned his old bootlegtattoo account, I thought I would put these up.

Thanks Dale, check him out if you haven't already subscribed:

hey, so its completely concentrated, and not diluted at all?? my mom ( im 12 so..yeah) thinks undiluted with melt my models, so can you tell me if its diluted or not??? i know its a stupid question, but i just dont want to melt the 10 space marines i have

G'day mate, I wouldnt tell you that it works on plastic if it would actually melt them ... tell your mum she is too kind for worrying on behalf of your little men. Full concentration! No dilution necessary.

LOL my friend recommended i use simple green for removing paint, i forgot what he said, so i got green strip, and melted all my models

OH NO! That sucks :( I should really make a follow up video, it works well for me, but as you can see from phatmonk6195 .. doesnt seem to work for everyone

[phatmonk6195]

didnt work for me at all

[RubbishInRubbishOut]

Did you use the Concentrated version .. Simple Green comes in around 20 different 'versions' for various applications. I've had NO problems stripping anything ... though I do find that metal is easier (and faster) done using a conventional paint stripper
