Terrance Wong Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Will Windex strip Tamiya? I know several people have used it as a thinner for airbrushing. Next question: Are there any other household chemicals other than Windex and rubbing alcohol that strip Tamiya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montarvillois Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I use rubbing alcohol and it works damn good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Yes rubbing alcohol works and the regular blue type of windex (not the green stuff) with amonia. DON'T use windex to thin tamiya paints EVER!! The windex will break apart the paint into little particles that will clog your airbrush - only use it to clean brushes or remove old dried up paint.

scand Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 What if the paint is already cured? Is it time to start sanding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I use PineSol. Soak it in that for about an hour, get a used old toothbrush, and brush away the exess paint in the cracks. Sometimes it takes a few good soakings, but I've done it many times, and have had no side effects and good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrance Wong Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Well, after a day of scrubbing, I'm proud to report success with Windex. I think it works even better than rubbing alcohol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
