Cheers

Hi guys;

Well the 'ol mojo' seems to be returning, so I thought I would carry on with the Hansa, so this is why it is re-appearing.

Cheers

Pete.

Thanks Gregory;

Well a great start, I decided to carry on with the floats, the first one was sprayed up and I was very pleased with the result, I sprayed up the second one, a total disaster, I will have to strip it down.

So, the question to you guys is WHAT is the best way to strip acrylic paint?

Cheers

Pete.

  Pete,
    Drop the part into some Glass Cleaner with an ammonia content (In North America we call it "Windex") for half an hour or so, then an old tooth brush does the trick beautifully with no ill effect on the plastic part. Works like a charm!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Lance, what you know as Windex, in the UK I think we know it as Windolene and I just happen to have a bottle of that, I'll give it a try.

Cheers

Pete.
