Re: [Modelling] Information Request: Paint Removal

Brake fluid is glycol-based (or silicone-based if you get DOT5, but
that's
unlikely), and the fluid reservoir on some cars is plastic
(polyethylene, I
think), so it doesn't eat *all* plastics.

That explains much!

I know I've heard of it being used to clean plastic minis with no ill
effects--but I don't know what kind of plastics those were, and TomB
doesn't know what kind his are either

Evil Empire(tm) sure LOOK/SMELL/TASTE like 'styrene, and that would be
what
Randy used brake fluid on.

("resin" is only slightly more descriptive than "plastic"), and I've
never
seen the kind of figures he's talking about (in fact, I'm not certain
I've
ever seen any GW figure except in photos) so that doesn't help.

Armorcast, which had a GW license, but no way associated otherwise, uses
the slightly yellow stuff, very similar to Geo-Hex's. I'm thinking it's
a
polyethylene resin, but no warranties assumed.
