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. Jim |

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. John |

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 ? |
