Super Clean with Resin, purple tint?

[Warren D]

I read an older post somewhere here that said Super Clean was ok for use with resin.  Something went wrong with the primer coat last week and I soaked the body in Super Clean to strip it down and start over.  It took a couple of days to get the Tamiya spray primer loosened up but it did come off.  However, the body is now tinted purple.  Considering I'm going for white, this is just another pain, first have to cover the purple then start building white coats.  On the good side, the Super Clean didn't bother the resin otherwise, no warpage or softening.  Guess I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this, or is there another stripper that would be better (next time, I'm sure I'll screw up another paint job) and is the purple tint ok to paint over or do I need to do another soak in something first?

I use Super Clean to wash the small parts that I cast in resin.

Usually I leave them soaking for a day or so. 

The last few batches I did all came out with a purple cast to them. I've used most of the parts and haven't noticed any problems with any of them. Covering the purple with primer went just as well as ever. The only thing I can figure out is the last few batches were done when the resin was likely getting near the end of its shelf life...?

Can't speak to shelf life, I buy the models already cast.

You can also use trisodium phosphate (TSP) mixed with water to remove mold release agent from resin parts. It's a better degreaser/cleaner than most currently available products. A mixture of one tablespoon of household bleach (Clorox, for example) per one cup of water will also clean and degrease resin without any damage to the parts. TSP can be safely added to the bleach solution to increase its effectiveness. You also won't need to soak the parts for hours or days either. A 30-60 minute soak, followed by scrubbing with a nylon brush and a thorough rinsing with clean water,is all that is required.
