imatt88 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 A lot of people use that Wesley's Bleche White, that whitewall cleaner, and put it in a tupperware container to soak it overnight. I use Easy Off over cleaner to clean my resin. HTH, Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yup, Wesley's Bleche White. Usually I soak for a couple hours, scrub with a tooth brush, rinse with hot water. Then scrub with Dawn dish wash soap, rinse again. Ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roncla Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've been using POR15 Marine Clean as recommended by The Modelhaus http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?faq=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Ordinary Naptha works just fine for degreasing polyurethane resin (also known as charcoal lighter fluid). Naptha works in mere minutes, dissolves waxes, greases, and mold releases (dang, I's a poet and don't know it, but my feet show it, they're Longfellows!) in mere minutes. I used to use Naptha regularly when cleaning parts meant to be sent off to a "chrome" plater, just dumped them in Naptha, stirred them around a bit, then took them out of the Naptha, spread them out on clean paper toweling to dry. Never a problem! Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON-T2 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I did the Gibson blown Chevy in Wesley's overninght with no adverse effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Should the bleach white be straight from the bottle or mix with water ? Also how many times can I use a tub of the stuff to dunk the Resin overnight , or is a one time use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro_force_fan Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 So i have the Ross Gibson injected hemi. How in the world are you supposed to scrub all those little parts with a toothbrush?...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I used it straight for the Last of Ed Fluck's 70 Impala 4dr kits. I left it over night. Then used it later for paint stripping I strain it every so often when stripping paint, but either leave it in the soaking container, or funnel it back into its original bottle.

jas1957 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have had my Bleche White in a Rubbermaid container for years. When I'm done with it just put the lid on & put it back on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
