Our products are printed in a high grade proprietary UV resin mix which provides a smooth finish while retaining strength as well as flexibility. Some Items may arrive on a support structure which can be easily removed. This provides several essential benefits. The supports help to protect the parts while they are being shipped to you and ensure that all the parts of some of our more complicated kits are included. Most importantly, it will keep our production costs lower for you.
Removing resin models from the supports is simple.
The first step, is to remove your bits from their supports structure. To do this easily, submerge the whole assembly into water that is hot to the touch, but not boiling, for five minutes.
After the parts have soaked in the hot water, it should be pliable and allow you to use your fingernail to punch away several supports under your products. This will create a starting point to then carefully peel your parts off of the remaining supports all together.
Some smaller bits will require you to carefully clip each bit off their sprue and supports individually. Snips are suggested for this procedure.
After its been removed, treat this product just like you would any other resin product.
You can use a very fine-grit sandpaper to smooth any surface or feature further. Always be sure to wear a mask when working around resin dust.
Use Super Glue (not plastic glue) to adhere these parts to your models.
Pre-washing is not required: All models will arrive ready to assemble and paint. Priming is recommended.
