    Anybody strip PP plastics?

    I have some Ret jacks I need to strip paint from. I know PP's is not normal plastic, so before I strip these I figured I'd ask what people's experiences stripping plastic jacks is. My normal go to strippers are either simple green, or purple power degreaser.

    Gosh, this is so easy to make a joke from but I think I'll let someone else have the fun.

    Just the part about the "go-to strippers", and my mind reels about strippers named "Simple Green" and "Purple Power".

    But, I did find this: http://privateerpressforums.com/show...ng-PP-Plastics

    I'm curious as to the stripper cited later on within that thread:
    here in Sweden we have something called Cillit Bang. And I just noticed that the poster's name is "Stormshaft."
    Just assume anything I post here is meant in good humor and filled with obnoxious smiley emoticons ...

    I use concentrated Simple Green. I've also heard that wine, flowers, and a nice meal work too.

    Simple Green. When in doubt Simple Green.

    If I tell you, "You're wrong," you'll need to click this.

    Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?

    so I went with the purple power and no issues at all. I don't know what primer got used (my guess is either P3 or GW) but the stuff comes off nicely. Now to clean up the mess.

    You know, Simple Green is an effective cleaning solution for most messes, and it's environmentally friendly to boot!
    with 40k its best to get the rules straight then apply imagination and rationalize; you will only get annoyed doing it the other way round

    I had the purple power on hand. Oh my sinks needed degreasing too. Double Duty. I did not have any concentrated simple green on hand, but rest assured when the purple power runs out I'll pick up the concentrated simple green.
