Just wondering if I need to take any special care in stripping forge world resin models.
I usually leave my models in simple green and clean them once a day till all the paint is off, usually a few days as a toothbrush isn't all that abrasive.
I certainly don't want to mangle any models.

I don't know if Simple Green is one of them -no experience in stripping resin- but some products that are okay for metal and even plastic will just destroy resin, as I understand.

Simple Green, Purple Power & Dawn Power Dissolve are all safe for resin. An extended soak (48 hours +) may soften the resin a bit. Not a concern usually unless you have fine details that might break when scrubbing with the toothbrush.

Re: Stripping paint from FW models
from personal experience, Pine Sol will melt resin.
I had an Armourcast tank, forget which, and left it in a oaif full of pinesol.
It became 'Nurgley' after several days. Dunno what paint the guy used, but pinesol barely sofetened it. When it did, the flat surfaces all looked like wrinkled skin.

Heh, I was called a Grognard.

From personal experience I can second the Castrol Super Clean/Purple Power for resin.
