P.S. will lacquer thinner (tamiya) work as well as nail polish remover?

Not sure if if laquer thinner would work, I’d just go with nail polish remover, I know that works well…but it has to have acetone in it, then it wont work. My wife was mad when I tried it with hers, so I got my own bottle, with acetone.

yer my wife got a bit upset when she saw me looking at her nail polish remover,what do you need that for she said,so i told her and she is getting me a bottle of my own tonight when she go’s shoping.

many thanks the help tiny and b-17 guy
