Will plastic parts be OK left in this solution overnight?

Thanks

They should be safe, make a test with scrap plastic. I stripped my Tamiya Corsair with it. It turned out OK, I won the only Gold ever on this plane.

Hey since asking this question, I have found the NUKE for stripping.

It's Tamiya lacquer thinner....wont hurt plastics and pulls the finish right off.

This product has worked for me. ELO from Testers. Available from tower hobbies. https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/elo-remover-8oz/TESF542143.html

I usually use Gunze Levelling Thinner, takes paint and clears right off without damaging the plastic.  I have even used it on canopies with no ill effects.

Yup, Tamiya lacquer thinner as well as Mr Color lacquer thinners are both cool enough to not harm the plastic. 

However, don't use Mr Color Tool cleaner or Tamiya's Airbrush cleaner. Those both contain acetone and will craze/melt the plastic.

I use this paint stripper to remove the paint I want to remove.  You have to submerge the plastic or resin part partially in a jar with a lid. You have to wet the whole part, but only cover 10-20% of it, and leave it for 30-60 minutes. Then with an old toothbrush the paint will come out by itself. The product is reusable many times so the 240ml lasts a long time. The smell is almost neutral. It works quite well in general.

I've used 91% ISO to strip paint from my models, but never had to leave it overnight.  It usually took a couple of minutes with remove the paint.

It will be fine. I prefer Windex. or , rather, cheap no name windex. Last one I had to strip had a rather intricately painted cockpit so I just applied it with paper towels. Took it right down to primer, one sitting, took maybe an hour.
