Cleaning Model With Airbrushed Isopropyl

I soak my sprues in dishwashing liquid, then rinse and let dry. Jon_a_its and Chrisk-k knows what you meant. LOL!

@Jon_a_its and Chrisk-k:

I meant before painting, as a pre-paint prep.

@Everyone else: brushing it down wouldn't get all the hand oils out of nooks and crannies though, would it?

Frankly, I've never had problems with hand oils (that I know of), but I'm still paranoid about it :)

I agree  with Jon_a_ its-  dish washing soap does the trick!

IPA or Windex + uncured Vallejo = gooey mess

spraying IPA over VJ would give you a sticky mess?

I tend to wash down all the sprues before starting (OCD 101  ) then washing sub-assemblies with dish-soap/washing-up liquid if needed.

Definitely wipe it down. Doesn't need to be scrubbed if you are just doing paint prep. I usually wipe it in the same direction as to not spread or smear contaminants around.

Never did that or heard of it

Seriously bad idea. Breathing those vapors is going to make you high, then make you sick.

Wiping it down with IPA would work, but simply spraying it on and letting it evaporate, I'd find doubtful.

I highly doubt that spraying IPA removes hand oils.
