How long do you keep your models in acetone?

Usually overnight, sometimes longer, scrub with a toothbrush, put them back in the jar if necessary. Like you, I’ve often had to use a toothpick for stubborn bits, I’m not sure, but the stubbornness seems to be dependant on how long the paint has been there. I’m not sure why you’re having such difficulty, you’re doing what I would.

Now my miniatures have been in 100% acetone for at least 55 hours. There is not much progress since.
