I have managed to acquire some Simple Green
The UK distributor used to be down in the depths of the West Country, but now it has now changed hands and moved to here in Sussex - well the office is, not sure where the warehouse is?
Purchasing is tricky as they only seem to sell in huge containers, but I talked nicely to the boss man and he got me a 1 litre sample bottle, a small 100ml sample of Simple Green 'Extreme', and a tube of hand cleaner gel!
However he did say that my 1 Litre bottle was 2016 stock, and that the Americans had changed the formula last year - weakened it in some way.
Anyone pondside noticed any difference??
So opinions and advice needed?
I have some plastics and some metals I wish to strip - can I safely soak both in the same tub?
How long does it usually take for the SG to work?
Do models need a lot of scrubbing with a toothbrush - and is it easier the longer I let figures soak?
Is there a finite number of times you can use the SG - does it's strength fade with time, usage or per number of models?
My normal practise has been to use heavy duty paint stripper on metal figures, which works well but is pricey, and not to buy painted plastics.
However I have a fair number of figures I would like to strip if it is not too long winded.
