How would I go about this so far I have tried the Purple Pond, Brake Fluid, Easy Off cleaner (BBQ cleaner as well), Awesome cleaner, 99% alcohol.
Nothing seems to want to remove the TS- 31 or TS-14.
I’d don’t wont to use lacquer thinner as it will eat the styrene plastic. |

92% alcohol has never failed to remove Tamiya spray.
Give Citri-strip a try..... |

I had 91% alcohol remove TS 14 in a couple of days. I bought a cheap toothbrush to scrub the parts at the local dollar store. It helps...but actually rubbing it with my finger in a rubber glove helped more.
Worse comes to worse, you could always sand it. _________________ Billy Kingsley
