Hi all,
Bought a few Sylvan models. I've researched the posts here in regards to cleaning the mould release agent from the parts. I have called so many stores and no one has an affirmative answer, or I get "don't knows". Of course no one stocks the Diosol or the Resin Prep that Sylvan says to use. When I do ask to get the Sylvan specific cleaners in it takes months. I'd like to use household stuff that I've read about on here that people have used so here are a few refined questions:
Many thanks for all your help,
Heath
Bought a few Sylvan models. I've researched the posts here in regards to cleaning the mould release agent from the parts. I have called so many stores and no one has an affirmative answer, or I get "don't knows". Of course no one stocks the Diosol or the Resin Prep that Sylvan says to use. When I do ask to get the Sylvan specific cleaners in it takes months. I'd like to use household stuff that I've read about on here that people have used so here are a few refined questions:
- Windshield washer cleaner. Used full strength and just immerse the whole parts and gently brush with an old toothbrush?
- Dishwasher detergent. The powder stuff dissolved in warm water? The stuff for the dishwashing machine right, not the dishwashing liquid you use in the sink.
- "Chamelleon" brand paint stripper. If this stuff is powerful enough to strip paint, surely it will take the mold release agent off, right? I've used it on styrene on older cars and had somewhat good success with it. Didn't damage the styrene at all.
Many thanks for all your help,
Heath
