I have many of those figurines from Bandai Evangelion kits that I want to clean up and redo. How would I clean the vinyl? Thanks.
You can try easy-off oven cleaner it takes paint off or auto brake fluid. just test it on one frist . Do the ovener clean in a well ventilated area. I spray them and let the thing soak in a small bucket with a lid for a couple of hours than scrub with old tooth brush under runing water. I hope this helps Stephen
I agree with loneeagle as I recently removed paint from an old Horizon Spiderman kit that had been primed with Krylon Flt.White,even though it took some effort the easyoff oven cleaner did the trick.I have no doubt it would have been easier if I would not have used Krylon as a primer,but Krylon is tough,and is just my choice as a primer on vinyl kits.
Thanks. I tried Castrol Super Clean on scrap overnight. It didn’t hurt the vinyl one bit. The CSC was pretty used already too but it took care of things. Thanks!
Will the easy off affect glue used to modify figures?
It will take super glue but not the tube or weld type like proweld. If I’m stripping a model I 'm doing a total rebuild so I really don’t have a problem with the glue being eaten up --Stephen
