    Acetone. Laq thinner.

    Strong solvents.....NOT paint thinner or methanol or mineral spirits.

    Just roll them over a tight radius and most of the layers of PC will crack and flake off.

    Why not cover them with no stick tin foil?

    I place my pc bullets on the mats, I don't use them in the spraying process. Any powder that sticks is minimal and will flake off as I reuse them.
    I'm thinking spraying would be a whole 'nother ball game
