a few csc questions

1: does csc lose it strength over time???
2: how come it stripped all the color paint off but not the primer? should i leave it in longer?? (the csc is about 3 weeks old)


thanks for any help.



Robert.

good question
im wondering the same thing

1. yep
2. what type of paint did you use. CSC won't touch laquer

i am using tamiya primer. it stripped the paint and it was fully dryed laquer. it also stripped auto paint right off and it was laquer.

what do you use for laquer then, will oven off work for this or only break fluid work.

I left a Tamiya GT3 in CSC for about a week and it stripped the paint and primer completely off. I also put a Fujimi 240 in that had all of its paint and most of its primer stripped off.
I am going to reprimer both anyway, so I'll probably just sand down the body or use a toothbrush and comet (this is a good way to put a good "tooth" on a brand new model body, as it will lightly scuff the new plastic).

Also, as a general reminder, please PLEASE be careful with Castrol Super Clean. I have learned my lesson twice : :nono: about NOT handling that stuff with bare hands. Always use gloves and eye protection - that stuff is strong!

So far, with CSC I've gotten everything off that I attempted, except Tamiya primer. It must etch itself into the plastic really well...

Just sand it down, wash it, dry it well, and re-prime....

the problem is the primer is very orange peeled and i mean bad. yea i had to go to the e.r room a week sgo for really bad burns from the stuff.
