Hey! Did you know that CA glue can fog Acryl flat coat?
Had my cockpit fitted in, sealed with Future and then Acryl Flat Coat, stuck the resin bits in with CA....and then the main instrument panel and a few cockpit parts fogged up.
Anyway I can de-fog it without having to repaint?

Okay, I got it.
Using everything you guys suggested (except for brake fluid), I finally came down to spraying a little oven cleaner into a small bottle, dipping a q-tip into it, and swabbing the joining surfaces. Leave for 30 seconds, then wipe off with a piece of cloth. Ta-da!

The parts come on sprues that get plated too -why not try out a few methods on the sprues and let us know what you find out?
:D
Doh.
That is a good idea. Uh, okay, lemme get back to you on that...

KYRRE!!!!
Where have you been?! I still have you on my contact list! Haven't talked to you in the longest time.
Thanks Madmike and WilliamG. The chrome I've been wanting to strip is off the gluing surfaces of my kit (Tamiya F-84 - Ha Kyrre!). Oven cleaner might work, but I was hoping to find something I that I could swab with a Q-tip, and working with oven cleaner doesn't sound too appealing to me, even with a mask on. Brake fluid sounds interesting. Isn't that stuff highly toxic or something though?
How about ammonia? Does ammonia work?

Hey all,
Can anyone tell he how I can strip chrome plating? I seriously don't know why companies chrome the parts, glue doesn't stick to it anyway!

Ollie's a good guy. If there's a delay something might have come up. I'll try to get in touch with him today and see what's up.
