[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by nfmisso</i> <br />Do NOT use brake fluid on shells from Japan or China - it will eat the plastic, and may or may not affect the paint. Kato shells are especially prone, that is why there are so many RPP SD45 shell running around on Kato SD40 chassis.... 91% alcohol works well on the Chinese models. Made in Japan Kato: PineSol - full strength works okay - and leaves a fresh pine odor (for several years, but eventually it goes away). <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Uh oh. <br /> <br />I've just stripped 2 LL P1K shells and a Walthers shell in brake fluid. Paint came right off, washed with them with soap and water. The shells seem fine--what's going to happen now? Will they fall apart? <br /> <br />Gary
