rcbv Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Maybe quickly dipping them in acetone or other solvent to loosen the paint? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Maybe quickly dipping them in acetone or other solvent to loosen the paint? Even if it removes a little of the plastisol, too, it should still give you a cleaner bait to remelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'd be cautious about melting painted plastics unless you know what type of paint they are using stuff can be quite toxic, VPI comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
