#Removing primer without IPA

A few of my primed minis fell over whilst drying outside, now there's a bunch of dirt caked in the paint.
Wondering what I should be using to remove the paint, seeing as Isopropyl alcohol is almost non-existant where I live.

And where are you living? There are a few solutions but some are quite restricted geographically

# sinful raptor Oop! good point, that'd be The Netherlands

I don’t know if you have it there but I use a product called LA’s Totally Awesome which I buy at my local dollar store for about $3 a half gallon. Similar products would be Superclean (a purple cleanser/degreaser) and Mean Green (a dark green liquid). All three are concentrated so can be diluted but work best without diluting and do not harm plastic, resin, or metal minis. Though Superclean I’ve heard you need to use gloves with as it is caustic.

I'm surprised that IPA is difficult to get in the Netherlands, but who knows.
You can try methylated spirit. It's a bit less efficient than IPA but same class of chemicals so should work.

Ah! That works! I'll try to grab some tomorrow when I'm in the city.

Thanks a ton!
