@jodain I’ve taken to using Biostrip 20. I had tried various other products – Nitro Mors, Fairy Power Spray, Dettol, but thisstuff gets the best overall results.

It’s got a few quirks over other strippers;

It’s a goo as opposed to a liquid, with the consistency of yogurt.
Non-toxic, so you can handle it bare-handed, but also means it has no smell and doesn’t react the same way the others can do to water
Versatile – so far I’ve used it on metals, GW plastics, and some resin. Now I’ve been told it can melt right through resins, and previous efforts have found thin bits of plastic models susceptible to bending or coming apart if left to soak for too long, but generally does the business.
