Then wash the softened paint off with soapy water and a toothbrush. Bix may soften thin resin pieces, but don't be alarmed--they will stiffen up again after being washed.

Easy off is the way to go but, it doesn't do well on red for some reason...

ok so I had to strip the paint off of my magma statue and I'm having a real hard time getting it off. First I used easy off but it was not removing hardly any. then I used acetone and it seens to be eating away or dulling the finish of the statue which is baked super sculpey. then I tried two more times with easy off but there is still paint in the cracks and primer all over. now its drying and she is turning white like chalk. this is so frustrating because it looks like I'll have to resculpt alot of her, it a God awful mess 
So what do I try now? More easy off or is there something better? I went to wal-mart and looked for Bix stripper but they had none 
Please help
Steve

Aww man that sucks, i never tried Acetone on Super Sculpty. Guess thats a no go for that.
What paint did ya use? Enamels are the worst to deal with when stripping. Acrylic seems to peel right off with acetone and the other methods.
What primer did ya use? I have tried Acetone with Duplicolor and that stuff gets all sorts of messy when used with Acetone. Krylon on the other hand comes right off.

ya man does it ever suck.
The primer was gray krylon which was my first mistake, I should have used a white primer.
I used acrylic paint applied with brushed first I applied it real thick to cover the gray primer I used. Then I sealed with testors dull coat to apply acrlic washes which I did a few layers for every wash I did. Then I sealed some areas with krylon crystal clear to get shiny effect.
I'm almost depressed about the whole thing 
the only thing I can be happy about is that I sort of know what not to do now  kind of, lol

Dude that truly sucks. Saldy resin could sit in acetone for a long time, but for SSculpty i guess its a one time paint up.
