It's bad for your health if you inhale it or let a lot of it get absorbed through your skin. You may or may not drink 'normal' alcohol for leisure, and perhaps getting fume drunk while stripping minis sounds funny, but absorbing this into your system can damage your liver. Now it's not hydrochloric acid of course, but it's worth protecting your health. The minis will never look sprue new, but hopefully you can get them to a stage where it's impossible to tell they were stripped when repainted

Biostrip 20 can be reused so don’t think you need fresh product every time you want to strip a model. Clean your Airbrush with it, Whilst I wouldn’t soak your whole airbrush in IPA as it will likely break down your rubber seals. Dropping IPA in an Ultrasonic Bath along with your metal airbrush parts will clean them up very nicely. You can create a safer mix with some Distilled water which will be better on your seals and just submerge the lot if you wantFirst of all, the best part of IPA is you can use it to clean the containers you stripped your models in so you can keep using them over and over. if you are pouring your Games Workshop paints into dropper bottles, you can clean your funnels. As I’m not a Chemist or Medical Expert I do need to caveat this post with a warning and story of my own experience so here we go; How to Strip Paint Off Miniatures – WARNING! Biostrip does go a funny colour after use, but still works fairly well for fresh minis. Some people just leave minis to soak in the biostrip pot itself, and let the gunk accumulate, yet it continues to work fine. I do like you though; dip minis and leave them in a spare tupperware for a few hours and just wash away the leftover goop. Now, I want to stress that I am no chemist, but from what I understand copied from (from Wikipedia) IPA is; Now just repeat the steps for a second round, pull out a mini that’s been soaking in IPA. load your brush with IPA and scrub. At this point, I normally find that some pipe cleaners do a better job of getting into those tight spots.

If it gets in your eyes somehow, rinse out with water. If your eyes are Goblin Green afterwards, go see a Painboy ;) There are a few options here, do it outside, open all the windows but risk your house smelling IPA with others breathing in the fumes. If you have an Airbrush extractor turn this on. Or my personal Favourite Use an airbrush face mask if you are planning on stripping models for a few hours. IPA, Isopropyl alcohol, is a fire hazard as stated before, so avoid heat sources and especially open flames. And as all volatile alcohols, you need a well ventilated workspace to avoid dizziness from the vapours - the boiling point may be relatively high but its vapour pressure makes it quite volatile. Can I paint Biostrip 20 onto larger models rather than dipping them? Yes, Biostrip 20 paint stripper is ideal for painting onto larger objects or models. A plastic bag can help prevent drying out. You don't need to fill the whole container, if you fill it to half submerge your mins you can turn them half way through the procedure, saving alcoholYou can reuse the same alcohol indefinitely, just run it through a coffee filter to get the big chunks of paint out. It won't turn completely clear but will still be a pretty high concentration and can be used again. I would keep it in a different bottle to your fresh stuff

The first thing you need to do is fill pour some IPA into a container, this needs to be enough to submerge the model or part you are going to strip.
