Stripping resin models

[Quickdraw]

Does anyone have a tried and true method of stripping resin models?
I've done plastics and metals. Just not any resin.

I just use warm soapy water and an old toothbrush. I use acrylic based paints so pulls off pretty easily. Hope this helps!

For those stubborn stuck on paints soak them overnight (or for a couple days if its really bad) in some concentrated simple green (in the gallon jug, ~$10) then hit it with a toothbrush.

From what I've been seeing online Simple Green seems to be the stuff.

I've used Simple Green to strip metal and plastic models without any issues. I haven't tried it personally on resin minis, but I suspect it will be OK. You can always try a small test model like a frigate first, I suppose.

Dont let them sit for too long.  You can leave metal in for days.  I would try 2 hours, then check back every 2-4 hours and see.  You'd hate to have them melt.  I know I melted something years and years ago in an Easy Off oven cleaner bath.

I stripped down my RSN cruisers last week using Simple Green.  Left them in a Tupperware container overnight.  Used running water and a toothbrush to get the paint off the next day--what hadn't already fallen off in the container.  They are resin models, and I didn't note any damage to them.

Didn't like what your scheme Greg?

The scheme I tried with the cruisers wasn't working for me, so I elected to strip them down and start over again.

The simple green has mostly worked. There is still a layer of stubborn primer, especially in the recesses. The resin seems "stickier" than plastic and metal I've done in the past.

Do another Simple Green bath and a good tooth-brushing. 

For the mini, not for you.

Thats hilarious 
I will definitely be giving it another go tonight.

Did the second dip do the trick for you?

[Quickdraw]

Pretty much.
3 hours the first time and 4 the second time. No visible damage and the paint is more or less gone.

I've got a forge world TAU Broadside suit soaking.  24 hours the first time, and the hideous coat of thick, cracked black came up. Now for the electric green underneath it.
