discussion Separating resin parts

[Guest]

Hi, I'm working on the Eduard Spitfire Mk. 22/24. I'm finding the separation of the resin parts a bit tricky, any suggestions as to the best method?

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Regards,

Bill

I use a razor saw for this. It's the only way to make a clean cut in my experience.

Hi Bill

Yep! Same as stona/Steve.

Here is a quote from the General Instructions from an Accurate Armour kit:

The best way to remove parts from the casting sprue is by using a razor saw, or for very large parts use a small fret saw or junior hacksaw. Excess plastic should be carved away using a very sharp scalpel or craft knife. Very large sprues can be removed by scribing and 'snapping' them away from the parts, (this saves a lot of sawing).

Hope this is of help.
