91% Alcohol, I have used with success on Life-Like, Atlas and Kato N scale models. Also has worked on Polly Scale and Polly Scale sealed with Dullcote. Sometimes it doesn't remove all of the lettering. Life-Like C&O yellow striping and Kato Erie-Lackwanna Maroon appear to invulnerable to any stripper. <br /> <br />I tend to use it in a small closed tupperware-like conatiner, usually jsut large enough to submerge the model completely. I have recently soaked a LL caboose for four days with no damage to the plastic.(I went to bed and forgot about it till four days later). It can also be strained through a paper towel to remove paint particles from it and be re-used. <br /> <br />I have used Scalecoat Paint stripper in the past, but it is no longer readily available in my local. 91% Alcohol is 5 minutes from my house if I run out, not 2 hours. If I can't strip it with Alcohol, I paint over it.
