Preparation
Cleaning Sprues
Submitted by André Boucheré
- Wash all sprues in warm water with dish soap and let air dry. This will remove any mould release agent and oils from the moulding process.
- Use furniture tack rags for wiping parts prior to painting, this will remove any lint or dust from your parts; this also works for cleaning airbrush glass bottles.
Storing Parts
When building a kit I usually clean up all the parts first and store them in a
case according to the colour they will be painted. I just make sure I can easily
distinguish similar parts. If not, I group the left and right side parts
separate. I also use film canisters to hold very small parts. The case I
use also
has a transparent lid to protect the parts and has moveable dividers. The cases
allow me to conveniently stack several incomplete kits.
