Re: Stripping paint ...

I should have clarified what I applied acetone to.  I only use it on
metal 
minis.	I think the oven cleaner will be a better all around solution.

Be VERY careful using acetone on resin (polyester resin, as we use in
the
UK, anyway) - it is a solvent for it, and while it MAY not harm the
cured
resin if used in small quantities I certainly wouldn't immerse a casting
in
it for too long!
