HOW DO I PREPARE / USE RESIN PARTS?
Prior to use it is recommended to clean each piece is warm soapy water to remove residue release agent. Persistent release and silicone residue will remove with spirit based fluid, and an old tooth brush. Wash in water after using spirit based cleaners.
Parts will arrive requiring 'clean up' this involves cutting of casting gates and risers. These parts are usually evident on pieces as they will look out of place and wont appear on any images of the finished product from the site. There will also be split lines on the pieces left over form the mould, these are easily scraped or sanded off with a craft knife / fine sandpaper. All parts glue with superglue. Occasionally bubbles may be present in parts and can be filled with putty such as green stuff or milliput.

I am very happy take on suggestions for future parts and designs, if I receive a lot of alike requests the concept may be pushed to the front of the line.
