removing enamel from resin

[cobraman]

Will EZ Off remove enamel paint from a resin body , is it safe on resin ?

i have used it on resin and never had any problems

Just did it with a resin '56 Caddy.

But I used Super Clean.

Of course t only had to soak for about a half hour to get off all of the enamel, so it really didn't have time to get damaged.

I've used Super Clean before on resin without any problems & I don't think Easy Off would be any different, especially when removing something as easy as enamel.

You don't need to leave Easy-Off on longer than 15-20 minutes. It'll do what it's gonna do in that time. Spray on, wait 15-20-30 minutes, attack it with a toothbrush under warm running water, repeat as necessary. 

Some enamel jobs can require 3-4-5-6 treatments to come all off. Others will come off with just one or two cycles.

Thanks guys. I painted my 1/43 Alfa BAT car with enamel because the color was right but after 6 days it is still tacky. Never again.  I did a Studebaker yellow a couple years ago and it took about three weeks to dry believe it or not.

I believe it.

There are some advantages to using enamels.

They level better & will give you a pretty nice shine without a clear coat, but I used to paint my models & then put them away for a couple of months before resuming because the enamel takes forever to cure completely.

Now I use pretty much nothing but lacquers.

I use a food dehydrator, brand name:" NESCO American Harvest".  This one has a therrmostat on it.  I have run it at 100 degrees F. Of course, the shelving inside needs to be hollowed out, not difficult.

Just wanted to say thanks to all that replied and say the Easy Off worked very well.
