Tampo not dissolving - StuBeeDoo - 2nd-Jun-24

I may have asked this question before, but I can't remember where and I can't remember the answer.

My latest repaint project is a test-car re-livery on an SCX Toyota Corolla WRC.  It's now been in my isopropyl alcohol bath for 36 hours and much of the tampo still won't shift.     The problem areas are where the tampo is applied to the bare white plastic - where it was applied over paint the tampo came off with the paint, no problem,

Any suggestions, other than "mechanical" means (T-Cut, or similar) how I can get the tampo off the plastic without it being noticeable after painting?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Stuart

The only way I found to get rid of tampo fully was to use wet and dry paper of varying grit (realise this is a manual way but took very little time to do some old Scalextric bodies)

Would lighter fluid on a cotton bud work?
