- CLEANING - Before using, parts must be washed off with
soap(Westleys white wall cleaner), and alcohol to remove
mold release.
- WARPING - If part is warping or bent, use hot
(NOT BOILING) water to help pull it back into shape. Then use
cold water for it to "take a set" as you would with
a plastic kit.
- BODY WORK - After cleaning, the parts may be
sanded, filled or drilled. Small imperfections or air bubbles
can be filled with super glue or 5 minute epoxy.
- PAINTING -
Primer coats of automotive primer are recommended on all parts
before painting. Hobby paints, enamel and automotive lacquers
work fine for finish coats.
- STRIPPING PAINT - Some strippers
may damage the resin parts, test a small area first. You may
use lacquer thinner, Easy-Off oven cleaner, and some brake
fluids.
- GLUING - Use super glue or 5 minute epoxy.
- PHOTO-ETCH - Cut
off the tree with a sharp scissors.
- PEWTER - Can be buffed with
steel wool, fine grit sandpaper, polished with chrome polish.
Seal surface with clear coat.
- WINDOWS - Trin carefully with
scissors.
- Always use respirator dust mask when sanding resin
parts.
- TEST FIT ALL PARTS BEFORE PAINTING AND FINAL ASSEMBLY!
