Product Information

If you have an ultrasonic cleaner you can use this (filled with water!) as clean up stage. I wouldn't use alcohol with a cleaner as it might heat the alcohol and will vaporise some of it. It's helpful, but not required. There are a few options here, do it outside, open all the windows but risk your house smelling IPA with others breathing in the fumes. If you have an Airbrush extractor turn this on. Or my personal Favourite Use an airbrush face mask if you are planning on stripping models for a few hours. Although most won’t recommend it, it’s great for cleaning brushes. I wouldn’t soak it like a mini, but when you are finished with a colour, give your brush an initial rinse off in IPA to ensure any paint that has started to dry is broken down. then rinse it in the water to get the IPA off and stop it breaking down the glue holding in the bristles. I have Windsor and Newton Brushes that are like new after 3 years and I strongly suspect it’s because of this. (And The Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver (UK Link))

You can reuse the same alcohol indefinitely, just run it through a coffee filter to get the big chunks of paint out. It won't turn completely clear but will still be a pretty high concentration and can be used again. I would keep it in a different bottle to your fresh stuff I've found 70% IPA doesn't shift paint that well, though it does weaken it. 99% is much better, so go with that one.

I dont soak the miniatures, I will always use a q tip or old toothbrush to gentle scrub/remove the paint. Proven very effective for cleaning and restoring model characters such as Warhammer or other miniatures Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol; commonly called isopropanol) is a compound with the chemical formula C3H8O. It is a colourless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odour. As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of 1-propanol.
