Resin body in purple bath?

[outragis]

I have a funny car body made up of resin, can it stand a purple bath to strip paint? or should I wait for paint to cure and sand?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that CSC softens up resin and destroys it.

Who makes Wesley's Bleche Whyte now??

I know some resin caster's (Drag City Casting for one) suggest using it to Clean the parts,

so stripping them is another option.

Scalecoat is a safe product for stripping paint from resin bodies & parts.

Good tip Rich, l bought a hood and was told to soak it in bleach to remove the mold release.

Water borne "cleaners" such as Bleche-White, household lye or ordinary bleach do not damage polyurethane resin. However, any cleaner having any sort of alcohol (such as methyl alcohol AKA methanol and just about any industrial alcohol will penetrate, soften and ruin any resin casting done from urethanes.

I saw a lady cleaning a resin figure model on youtube with a oxi-clean product. She put the parts in water dropped a scoop in, waited for the bubbles to quit and scrub parts with a soft tooth brush. She did say to make sure to clean off all residue before it dries
