Acting on a suggestion from another post, I decided to go with Purple Power.
Now do I use it as is (concentrated) or dilute it?

Although I've never used Purple Power, I have used Simple Green and do not dilute it. I would suggest not diluting PP.

Do not dilute it. Just put it in a glass jar or even a plastic food holder and seal it, it will only take about 24 hours to really strip the paint, use a tooth brush to brush the model or figure and the paint will come right off.

Depending on the paint a week is good, especially if enamel paint is used.

Thanks.

strictly acrylics

Same goes for Dettol. Don't dilute – seal for a week and finish with a toothbrush.

It is not strictly for acrylics, I sucessfully stripped ship models painted with testors enamel. I did soak those for a week though.

I only meant the figures I intend to strip were painted with acrylics. I personally don't use enamels.

So what's the UK equivalent of Simple Green and/or Purple Power ? Or is it Dettol ?

That Purple stuff worked pretty well
Thanks
