Avatar Rage Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Looking to remove green stuff from an old model without damaging the model. Any advice? Techniques or materials that might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 If its metal then most strong solvents will do, if plastic or resin then its a case of picking it away, usually comes off fairly easy depending on the texture of the model underneath. Might need to do some careful scraping and pocking, I recommend using sculpting tools to clean out the residue. Don’t believe there is a stripping liquid that would solely work on gs but not plastics or resin, might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedatkinszed Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've had some success with dismantling GS conversions using methylated spirits in an ultrasonic cleaner. It's a by-product of paint stripping and it's not always 100% successful but if done carefully with selective poking, scraping and cutting it has worked for me (YMMV).

Overread Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I wonder if freezing it would help. I know that freezing makes superglue bonds more brittle and easier to break so it might also weaken the bonding that Greenstuff has to the surface of a miniature.

Lucio Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Freeze it, then with a tiny glasses screwdriver and the handle of a normal screwdriver chisel it out off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
