Ok, the age old question. How do you remove paint or, even worse, super-glue from plastic. I put it to you.

I believe brakefluid removes paint from plastic okay.
I'm quite lucky, I work for a chemical and adhesive company. I get all my PVA and superglue free, and we have plenty of chemicals for stripping paint from metals and plastics. I also have access to tons of packaging materials for terrain, but lack the skills to take advantage (Oh look, I've made another hill  )
We sell to industries though, so I dont know their equivalent from the shops self.

Brekefluid will do the job. However it is toxic and if left in contact with your skin it will give you chemicle burns. If you are in the USA try "e-safe". Here is a shop's website go to the bottom of the page.

This stuff is non-toxic, plastic safe, and works very well.

Yeah, I read about the brake fluid. I also read and tried pinesol. It worked ok, and left the fresh scent of pine.

I have had some plastic warp in Pinesol. Pinsol works great for metal though.

Yeah, it worked great on my hands too. Took three layers of skin clean off.
