I still wonder where the myth comes from that brake fluid is a good paint stripper. Sure, it will remove paint- but so will petrol! You don't see alot of people stripping paint with petrol, though. I wonder why they think brake fluid is better?
For stripping laquers such as Tamiya (or PPG, for that matter), nothing is better than 91-99% alcohol. Doesn't really matter what kind- isopropyl, denatured, methyl, ethyl, whatever. Just as long as it's 90% or better. Look for it in grocery stores, chemists/drug stores, or house paint stores. It's sold for use in first aid, as a solvent, or as a fuel for camping stoves. It's fast, effective, safe (apart from being flamable), cheap, will not harm plastic (unlike brake fluid, which can), and doesn't have to be treated as toxic waste. |
for being part of those who keep alive "the myth that brake fluid is a good paint stripper"... But it really is !
Shall i have known that it was a forbidden question or one requiring your agreement ??
