my only fear is (and this is pure speculation) that the filler 'might' absorb some of the stripper, so when yuo paint over... it may react.

My advice would be to PM CooperShaz, or Woody, Or Midridge2 as they may well be able to help you.

I did have a slight reaction with Nitromors on some areas of my roof that had been filled (without me knowing). It softened the filler, which I then had to scrape out and re-fill and flat off.

??? of course it works! minis don't have they're own special paint dude. maybe you're not uising it correctly, I dunno :wub:

random orbital sander is the best option IMO. I don't like using paint stripper.

lol what grit paper are you using on the sander?... Nitromors needs a thick coat to work, leave it to work and it should begine to bubble.... then scrape off. A heat gun wont do much at all.

and with the sander.... you aint pushing hard enough or something lol!

P.S> glad to see another clubman being saved!

If there is a big build up of paint it is a good idea to use a sharp blade and make cuts through to the steel , it will allow the striper to penitrate and lift of the paint a lot easier (a criss cross pattern is good)
