so I primed Rocket Raccoon with what I thought was acrylic primer.. I was wrong, its solvent based and now Rocket is tacky.
I obviously need to strip off the primer and start again, what do you guys recommend for stripping vinyl? |

Oven cleaner has worked great for me on vinyl plenty of times. Don`t go buying expensive stuff either, cheap poundland/home bargains stuff is just fine. Submerge the parts overnight and then wash or scrub off with an old toothbrush. Repeat if required. Obviously I don`t know what kind of primer your dealing with here, so this is just my experience in the past. It might not work on solvent based. |

Thanks guys first pass with oven cleaner got about 75% off. will do a second run and then a toothbrush.
The primer for reference was plasti-kote.
I usually use Halford primer but I had run out.. classic case of more haste less speed. |

I`ve used Halfords for literally decades but just recently tried some Hycote brand from The Range - seems to be just as good but for half the price
