Purple power & Body filler

[kymdlr]

I’ve done some significant body work using bondo and Milliput on a body. Painted it and the paint didn’t come out right so it needs to be stripped before recoating. Will purple power or any variant of it , destroy the Milliput or bondo while stripping paint?

More than likely yes...it'll soften it, having to re-due the bodywork.

It'll remove nitro/lacquer-based final fillers, such as hobby putties, Sikkins, 3M Acryl Red, and so forth. 

Not sure about Milliput or Bondo. If they're two-part, epoxy or polyester, the purple pond might not affect them much, or at all. Let us know how it works, then we'll have a definite answer.

For anyone searching this, Super Clean does not seem to affect Milliput at all. I forgot to strip the paint from this dash before adding the Milliput. After a day and a half soak, the paint is off and the putty is still rock hard. I dropped the leftover nugget of putty in first to test it.

The 2 part Bondo is impervious to chemicals except acid. Think about. It can be painted over with any type of automotive paint and not get destroyed. It can even take a minor hit in a car accident and not even crack.

I word of advice: Before it gets hard sand it. We used a tool called a cheese grader to file it down while it was still curing It is impossible use that tool when it gets hard.

Good Luck

You might consider Westley's Bleach White tire cleaner. Resin producers recommend soaking parts in it to remove release agent because it won't damage the cast parts like Purple Power. I have used it several times to strip paint.
