VMS Clean Slate V2 Acrylic Paint Remover for Scale Models
VMS Clean Slate V2 TC03 is a specialist acrylic paint remover designed to strip water-based acrylic coatings from scale models and miniatures without damaging polystyrene. Supplied as 200ml of reusable liquid, it provides a way to remove an unwanted paint finish and prepare a model for priming and repainting.
An uneven coat, an unsuccessful paint application or a model that needs refinishing can be dealt with by removing the existing acrylic paint. Clean Slate is formulated specifically for this task, allowing paint to be stripped while preserving the underlying plastic components.
The remover is suitable for brush application and can also be used with ultrasonic cleaners.
Removes Water-Based Acrylic Paint
Clean Slate V2 is formulated to remove water-based acrylic paint coatings. It is intended for cleaning painted model surfaces when you need to remove an existing finish before further painting.
The liquid evaporates slowly, giving it time to work on the paint coating. VMS also describes the formulation as having a pleasant smell and not producing noxious fumes during use.
After cleaning, the remover can be rinsed away using ordinary tap water, making it straightforward to clear remaining liquid from treated components.
Polystyrene-Friendly, Including Clear Parts
A key feature of VMS Clean Slate V2 is its compatibility with polystyrene. The formulation removes acrylic paint without discolouring, embrittling, or swelling the underlying plastic.
Unlike paint removers that require limited contact with plastic, Clean Slate allows parts to remain immersed for extended periods. According to VMS, polystyrene components can be soaked for days without damage, allowing more time for thorough paint removal.
The remover is also suitable for clear polystyrene parts. These can be cleaned without the clouding or milky appearance associated with some other paint-stripping products.
This makes Clean Slate useful when removing paint from models that contain both ordinary and transparent plastic components.
Reusable Liquid and Cleaning Methods
VMS Clean Slate V2 can be applied using a brush or used with an ultrasonic cleaner. The choice of technique allows the remover to be used for different paint-removal tasks involving scale models and miniatures.
The liquid is reusable. After use, allow the removed paint residue to settle at the bottom of a container before using the liquid again. Filtering is another option when you need to recover the remover for further cleaning.
Its reusable formulation and compatibility with prolonged soaking make Clean Slate V2 a practical choice for removing water-based acrylic finishes before repainting.
