Easy off and Aves

[Spazzy]

I am about to strip a statue that has aves Fixit already on it in several areas, I know it is pretty strong probably stronger than the resin itself, but will the heavy duty Easy Off oven cleaner react negatively with it? Just want to be sure.

Also first time using Easy Off, how long do I let it sit on the statue? I read may take a few sprays/scrubs with toothbrush/rinses to get it all off, but if left on too long wil it eat away at the resin?

Never used easy off on aves, but i have taken paint off a statue that i sculpted aves onto with acetone and didnt see any issues. Seems to be fine and didnt ruin it at all.

But if you sculpted the aves over paint and not to bare resin, then using a chemical to take off paint can soften up the paint under the aves and it can just pop off like it was glued onto the statue.

hmm good point, I put it on to cover some seems, but no biggie if it falls off will just re do it. Thanks Vince!
