Thank you! Working with Resin:Resin is a very versatile material for miniatures which has many advantages over metal or plastic we believe resin is the best material for miniatures and so we cast most of ourproducts in this material.However, resin can be a bit different to work with if you are used to plastic or white metal models.This page will cover the stages you should go through when working with resin miniatures.Optional CleaningYou have just eagerly unpacked your awesome new miniatures, but before you go ahead gluingthings together, you might like to clean them. This stage is optional, but it will get a better result andbetter paint and glue adhesion. Cleaning can be done because the moulds used to cast resin canleave the slightest oily residue on the model's surface. Plus sometimes in order to keep casts thehighest quality; we use some release agent, to get the miniatures out of their moulds more easily.The oil from the moulds or the release agent can repel paint and glue, so it is best that the surfacesare cleaned.Use an old toothbrush and some warm water with 'washing up liquid' to gently brush the piecesclean (be extra careful of delicate pieces, so you that you don't snap them). Make sure you rinse theparts afterwards and allow them to thoroughly air-dry.BendingResin is very detailed, yet sometimes thin parts may be bent slightly during transport or storage. It issimple to fix as resin has a "thermal memory" like a thermoplastic. It remembers the shape it wascast in. So simply run the part under a hot tap or use boiled water to heat and soften it. Then youcan bend it carefully back into shape. Let it cool by quenching in cool water, pretend you are afantasy blacksmith and the resin will set like this in the shape you want.Tidyingwe try to produce minis without massive hideous mould lines, flash, vents, air bubbles orother things that cause you a headache. But, try as we might, we are not (yet!) perfect andsometimes you will need to call upon your hobby skills to tidy up a part. Just like you would withplastic minis – use some hobby clippers to snip off any casting gates (aka: those rods/ sprues/supports) Mould lines may need to be scraped or lightly sanded* away with a file or hobby knifeand any flash can also be removed in this same way.GluingTo glue resin, you should use Super Glue Cyanoacrylate. If you rough up the surface of the bond withsandpaper or scratch it a bit first – you will get a stronger bond. Another good trick is to use water tomake one part damp (not wet!) and apply the glue to the second part. The bond will be muchquicker. You can also use superglue accelerator in the same way.If you glue your fingers or something you want to remove the glue from, you can use pineapple juice(useful and delicious) or super glue remover.Some larger pieces may need to be pinned in place like how you do with metal models. In rare casesfor huge joins where you want the ultimate bond – Two part epoxy glue can be used.All done, you model is cleaned, prepped and assembled.Now you are ready to prime your model as per usual and start painting. We recommend a lightdusting with an aerosol spray primer or good airbrush primer.Hopefully that helped cover a few of the main points with working with our resin. We wish you thebest of luck with assembling and painting your miniatures.Happy Hobbies!
