I've never tried it on glue, only on paint but probably of you leave it longer, it might just help....

This stuff is pretty powerful, it strips Tamiya paint like nothing else, I am sure it will work on that paint. Go to WalMart and get it, buy 2 of them, pour the contents on a small container just big enough to accomodate the body in, leave it in for a few hours or a day and then just use a toothbrush to remove all the left on stuff in the small crevices and that's it. Please make sure to wear gloves, don't even think about touching this stuff. Yes, it's very safe on plastic..... Hosted on Fotki

Brutal mi pana!!!!!

Thank you for the compliments guys, it sure is good to know that I can be of some help, after all this is what this place is all about. Andrew, even if it doesn't work out, be glad to know that it's just another step to becoming a better modeler. My best advice for everyone is to first learn to pace yourself, I know it's not easy specially when that project is nearing completion and you just can't wait to see it done. I am still in the process of learning a lot of things myself and that's what makes this pastime so unique. Don't be afraid to ask questions and if you see I don't respond in one of the threads, feel free to private message me, I will try my best to have an answer for you!

This is a model I did one time in which I was not very happy with the paint so I dumped it in this solution and in less than 30 minutes, the paint was stripped right off. Hosted on Fotki

No my friend, too much trouble and chances of damaging the body lines. Go to WalMart and buy this: Hosted on Fotki Buy at least two bottles and dump them in a small container. Dump the body in the solution and wait a few hours and make sure to wear vinyl gloves, this stuff is very strong. After a while, the paint will just run right off. Grab a toothbrush, preferably one that you are not using and clean the body under running water making sure you get into all the small crevices of the body. If you still have a bit of paint on the body, just place it back in the solution and give it more time. You can use Easy Off oven cleaner also but Easy Off does not work on Tamiya paints, this stuff will. This is the way I would do it, I always try to teach people to start right even if it takes more work. Believe me when I tell you, you will not regret ever starting fresh when you want things done correctly.

The ideal thing to do is to strip the paint and start over, you will need more than one coat of the clear, that's what you will be rubbing out, one coat is not enough.

Awesome stuff man!!!!

Buy the Testor's Wet Look clear, you should be okay with that. You can also use Model Master enamel clear without any issues. Make sure you wash the body well before adding the clear.....

Very cool!!!

There is reason for a semi gloss coat and a regular clear coat, I suggest you use your regular, it will definitely have a better shine....

If you have a clearcoat, apply at least another 2 coats just to be on the safe side. It is imperative that your paint is completely dry before sanding it again. Pace yourself and take it easy, you get out what you put in. If you mess up, no problem, you can always strip the paint and start fresh. Believe me, it will not be the first time you mess up a paintjob, it will happen a few times even if you are an expert.

Tamiya paints have enough inherent gloss in them that you really don't need any clear coats, you can just wetsand the paint starting with 3200 grit and ending with 12,000 grit. You can also start with 3200 and end at 6000 and finish up with your Novus system. You have to remember that your 3200 is the workhorse of your sanding cloths, this is the one that will get rid of all your orange peel. The other grits in conjunction with the Novus system will get rid of all the scratches. One thing to remember which is very important is that you must have enough paint on the body, 2 or 3 coats are not enough, you must have 4 to 5 coats.

The color is a mix of Testor's Gold and something "orangy" I mixed that I can't even remember. There was no clearcoat used on it, just a slight wetsanding and polishing.

This thing was built for a review a few months back. It is a curbside kit, it can be lowered any way because of the working suspension, simple but kinda cool!! Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
