Hi All,
I have a built kit, painted in Humbrol enamels, which I coated with
Future before decalling, and then sprayed Gunze smoke over top of this to
simulate exhaust streaks. Not being happy with the outcome, I would like to
remove both acrylic coats down to the underlying enamel. I have tried
methyl alcohol, but the Future crazes and does not come off cleanly. Any
suggestions for removal of the acrylic coats?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Regards,
Tony Whittingham

Ammonia.

Try Windex or some other glass cleaner that contains ammonia. It usually
works for me.
