discussion Removing chrome and clear parts from sprues.

[Guest]

This is the way I remove chrome and clear parts from the sprue is by heating the edge of scalpel blade with a soldering iron not to hot to damage the parts.
You will get a nice clean cut though the gate without chipping of all the chrome off or cracking the clear part, it works very well.
