QUOTE(Fodder Soldier @ May 22 2006, 11:38 AM) [WTA] i think the first part suggested that the part is soak in hot (boiled??) water and put some liquid detergent or dish washing liquid..this is to remove the mold released agent I have bought a new model kit that has soft vinyl parts included with it. This is officially my first time with this material, so can anyone with experience on models with soft vinyl parts care to elaborate? And here's a pic from the manual, can anyone help clarify what's mentioned in Part 1 and 2? (sorry if the photo's too big, had to make sure it's readable  ) Thanks in advance.   normally, i will put into a hot water (but not boiled..) and put some Glo and leave for a few hours then rinse with warm water part no 2 maybe suggested that the part is cut with modelling pliers or scissor and then trim with modelling knife i guess so la [dont have any clues reading japanese...] |

QUOTE(Fodder Soldier @ May 22 2006, 11:13 PM) Oh, I see. I didn't know there was a thing like a mold release agent, is it frequent with model material like this? And is it because the agent will affect the effectiveness of paint/surfacer that's applied to the surface if unremoved? molding release agent or substances always used to ease the parting process... normally this stuff is in wax/greasy form....and it's oily so that the part can easily remove from the mold.... with the thin layer of this agent, it's somehow reduce the adhensive properties of the part...worst of all, when u handle the part(s), your finger also will help further spreading the agent all over the other parts... Anyways, thanks for the response, enJiNer. Time to boil my models! (hot springs bath?) No... test boil first...hope u have godd time with it... |
