Red Herring posted:Almost finished the Warboss and the Wyvern, just some minor details to do. I'm going to add gore to the axe. I still have to finish the bosspole, the shield is almost done too. Wyvern just needs to have it's eyes and lips done and it's finished. I really like this method, with Tamiya Clear. As an aside, how do you get your "dirty" reds?

I'm pretty happy with it. I think it's an old reaper mini- the detail is a lot shallower, less exaggerated than GW figures. No need to critique the photo technique, they are cell phone pics.

I had a CA incident involving a model and my kitchen table and now the table and my right hand have a seemingly impenetrable layer of glue on it. No, the hand and the glue are not stuck together.

Acetone will dissolve CA glue like it's not even there. I've used this several times myself, and there was one incident not long ago where my wife was trying to superglue something and the nozzle was jammed up a bit, and ended up basically gushing superglue all over her hand, firmly gluing her rings in place, all the way around. A quick rinse with some acetone and the rings fell right off and everything cleaned up good as new. The worst that'll happen is you'll have a little dry skin.

Are acetone and simple green safe for use with finecast? I got a batch of used ogres, and a couple of the finecast minis need to be taken off their bases and stripped.

I don't know, but acetone will definitely eat plastic bases (I've used it for thoroughly debasing a couple minis I had.) For getting CA glue off skin and surfaces, though, it can't be beat. Well, depending on the surface. Your kitchen counter would certainly not care, whereas your fine heirloom dining table might be a bad idea. It's really not THAT nasty. I mean, compared to happy fuzzy no-problem-leaving-it-with-your-daughter chemicals like simple green, sure, it's the devil, but as real, manly solvents go, it's fairly benign.

Still, the original question was (I think) about a kitchen table and a human hand, both of which acetone ought to work great with (depending on the table, I suppose, but the hand will have no trouble.)

And please god don't wash your acetone down the sink. Doesn't matter how harmless you think it will be - even just tiny bit! - dispose of it properly. I spend most of my days in a chem lab and seeing people throw that stuff down the sink is awful!

Yeah. I'm going to try the acetone on the edge of the table that sits against the wall in case it's destructive, but I think I can get the table clean with that. I have some lying around.

I painted up my first TH/SS Terminator today. I still have lots of room for improvement but I can already see things I am doing better than the Lightning Claw terminators I previously did.   Also thanks for the advice on finding Simple Green in Canada. I found it at the local Canadian Tire, while looking for christmas lights. Couldn't find LA's cleaner at the dollar store though. I have a feeling I'll eventually Simple Green this model and redo it when I improve some more but for now I'm pretty happy with him.

I would think about using a more silvery or steely color for the hammer on that guy. The gold with the yellow armor is maybe a bit too much yellow, a more steel or silver colored hammer would offset it nicely.

It's worse in a lab because we've had a few idiots pour different things down the drain and explode somewhere along the way. For everyday life it's just bad for both and one of those things where a number of people think 'it's only a little bit' and collectively mess stuff up. There are normally places at the dump you can throw it away, but if you MUST get rid of it down the sink throw it down a tiny bit at a time with lots of flowing water. If you put it through a coffee filter you can reuse acetone a fair bit too.

Would putting it in a sealed container in the trash be bad as well? Like how you dispose of grease and the like? Or is that still bad because it all ends up in the landfill/sewer anyway?

Take it to a dumping facility that accepts liquid waste. They're all over the place. Or use simple green because you can throw it all over the place and it's perfectly natural.

The wikipedia page for Acetone says it evaporates quickly even from soil and decays relatively quickly in the atmosphere. Just leave it out in the sun! Comedy option: set it on fire. my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Dec 20, 2011 |

Do not listen to this guy. Although setting it on fire is better than evapourating it into the water system. Seriously why the hell do people think putting it directly into the environment is better than through the sewage system. Acetone is ok for stripping models but people should really buy alternatives like Simple green and Dettol.

Burning it, assuming it's clean, should be a pretty benign way to go. Aside from the obvious pollutants added in during use, pure acetone combusts, like, what, C3H6O + 4O2 -> 3CO2 + 3H2O? And in any event, I'd rather gently caress da erf and give my hand a quick rinse in acetone than sit there with my hand in a jar of simple green for a day while I wait for the glue to dissolve.
