nfmisso: I use brake fluid all the time. The only shells it hurts that I have ever seen were Kato. Castrol Super Clean works on all plastic. I use it often too and it never hurts anything. They are cheap because I haven't changed the fluid for three years now and it still works; I think that isn't bad for 10 bucks of fluid. Just keep it in an easy to store adequately sized sealable container for easy reuse. I've stripped over 50 models in that time and have not damaged any of them. Brake fluid should be disposed of properly of course. Don't sit and sniff the fumes either of course. You have to paint in a well ventilated area, you should strip in one as well. I would agree alcohol is fine on the new stuff, but doesn't work easily on the old stuff. What do you use for the older models? You only mention the new. Warren
