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
