[QUOTE="ThomasBJJ, post: 422059, member: 993"] For those of you not familiar with Pine Sol, I BELIEVE it is primarily amonia (sp?). It is used primarily to mop floors. I got several minis totally paint and primer free. I was puzzled for a moment as to why they looked so grey, until i realized that these minis are made out of lead, not the shiny pewter of today. The testors black paint on the dragons wings is coming off very greasy and gummy, but it is coming off. I'm gonna have to scrub, soak for an hour, scrub, repeat- it will eventually come off. Drybrushing grey over black primer is a great idea. Zap-a-gap glue is very good (it's what I use), just remember -don't use too much glue. If you use alot, it will take forever to dry. Use a little tiny bit, then when that's dry, you can put more glue on it to strenghthen it, and you wont have to hold the pieces together for hours. BTW, I didn't realize there was a minis forum, or I woulda posted there. [/QUOTE]
