Paint Stripping and Putty
One of my models (AE86 Levin) need to hit the paint stripping bucket, but this is the first one that has body work done to it. Does brake fluid or CSC ruin Tamiya epoxy or Bondo spot and glazing putty?

Re: Paint Stripping and Putty
CSC will dissolve Spot putty. I'm pretty sure it doesn't effect Epoxy putty.

Re: Paint Stripping and Putty
Brake fluid didnt bother the putty when I stripped a car. I use squardron putty though.

Not to bring up an old thread, but does any know of something that will strip epoxy putty (specifically Tamiya quick-type)? I've got some putty bombs I'd like to recover and don't feel like sanding for hours and hours.
CSC doesn't work, just tried it. Does brake fluid work? 91% Iso? Anything? |
