[New way to strip paint from bodies, safe and simple!]

I guess it makes sense. Oh well.  I ordered 2 bottles of the "model" stuff when I could have ordered a 4-pack of the furniture stuff (and still getting the 20% discount).  I'm hoping that the discount still works next time I'll place an order (but that'll likely not be for some time, so I doubt it).

Hey Zack, do you happen to have any urethane resin items you could try stripping?

Let me know if the discount goes away. He's my son-in-law, I'll have him give it to ya! Lol. But seriously, this stuff is really amazing and safe.

Ok, I'll bite.

This stuff does look promising.  The website seems to have been designed with primary focus on stripping paint from furniture, with model stripper also being offered.  Having said that, I wonder of the (wood) furniture stripping solution is the same stuff as the plastic model stripper?  The wording on the labels of both types of strippers is identical, except for the mention of models on the model version.  I'm wondering because the furniture stripper (as a 4-pack) is a better deal (and the discount code works on it too).

Anyway, I'm always looking for new and better plastic (and resin), so I'll order the model version.  I do wonder how safe it is on resin bodies?  I think I'll let someone else find that out. 

Yes it's the same product. He found that having a separate bottle and web page dedicated to modelers worked out better.

Yes it works great! But try to change minds of people that have been using oven cleaner and purple cleaner is difficult. This stuff will not melt plastic and is totally safe. Works like magic as you saw!

When is this stuff coming to the hobby stores?

Not sure, he’s selling it from the website for now.

If you go here to the website you can see a few other videos that guys have made. It really works well and is not expensive. You can filter it out and keep using it.

These were restored last year. They run pretty good.

Beautiful build!   Any fit issues or unforseen problems building? 

Yes, Chassis to interior fit had to be ground in areas, hood fit, other minor fit issues. 

[The Grump!]

They are pad printed from the factory.

I hope this is the right forum for this guy. Love building these old Tom Daniel kits! Box stock

Enquiring minds want to know... where do you get this stuff?

Just message them directly

[New way to strip paint from bodies, safe and simple!]

Contact them directly, I just made this video two days ago on a body that was painted 2 months ago. This stuff was developed to strip lacquer and to be used on aircraft. It worked and I’ll be purchasing it. This was a sample given to me in order to test it. It works 

[New way to strip paint from bodies, safe and simple!]

Two months old. Lol

[New way to strip paint from bodies, safe and simple!]

This stuff works great! Will strip lacquer also just as easy.

I have found that it's best to not clear coat molotow.

Well done!  Your painting is beyond exceptional.  What type of paints did you use?

I used cheap hobby lobby craft paints and tamiya. The weathering and shadow effects are from a Army Painter Warpaints Quickshade Washes Set. Picked it up on ebay. One of the best "tools" I ever purchased for doing weathering and shading. They are great.

[Atlantis BlackBeard with lights and sound]

These kits are fun even though they require plenty of putty & clean up. I put lightning effect lights and a sound card in it.

Unfortunately no progress. My model shop is disrupted with a furnace replacement. Also I bought an original 1968 Meyers Manx to restore and I've been tearing that down.

[DeAgostini 1/8 scale 1967 Shelby GT 500 FINALLY done!]

Great job Bill!!! Awesome!

[Eaglemoss 1/8 Mercedes 300 Gullwing]

After 9 months of not receiving parts , I finally got some progress. Not much but the firewall is assembled and detailed. The washer bottle is a clear bottomless tank. I made a bottom and filled it 1/2 way with blue tinted epoxy to look like it’s got washer fluid in it. Almost all parts in this assembly were detail painted in one way or another. 

[Glitter Bug!]

Got another rainy day build done. So much fun doing these old kits from when I was a kid!

[Century Sea Maid Runabout 54” Long]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Merry Christmas! This will be a slow build. My bench is moved for furnace replacement in my basement. I’m limited in what I can build. Plus I just purchased a authentic Meyers Manx buggy to restore. I’m busy busy!!

[T’Rantula the Wild Digger!]

Thanks everyone! I wanted the 3 pc body to be seamless. I built the interior then assembled it into the body & did the seams, masked then painted it. I would have never done this as a kid!! But these kits are really fun and build up nice

[T’Rantula the Wild Digger!]

This was another rainy day build. I wanted the 3 pc body to be seamless so I had to build the interior then install it. Then mask it all off for filling & painting. These old Tom Daniel kits are great! Have a blast building them

[Century Sea Maid Runabout 54” Long]

Yes, it will be radio controlled. 

[Century Sea Maid Runabout 54” Long]

This is the box for the kit and my 9 foot long work bench that I’ll be building it on. The boat is 1/4 scale, 54” long , will be about 30-40 lbs depending on my power choice. It will accept a 32cc weed eater engine or electric. I’ll probably go electric.
