A quick question regarding resin parts. Do you need to wipe it down with iso alcohol before painting?

Haven't had a resin car body, but I usually wash resin in warm soapy water. The release agents can be really oily
Thanks,
John

Just don’t use too hot of water. Resin softens with heat and can become pliable and warp if the water too warm/hot

He speaks the truth. Extremely sensitive to hot water.

I don’t wash any sprues in hot water anyway. The only time I’ll use hot or warm water is when I’m ready for decals.

Man I really wished I had enough time to join this GB. Maybe you can start a part II sometime next year. I've got something in the works for late Jan-early Feb that might fit this. Looking forward to more of your build here Tom.

Joe, I’ve been thinking of running this Group Build for 1 year instead of until February 2020.

I have been working on the ‘37 Chevy Gasser these last couple days. A lot of progress has been made but will post pics when I get the chance.
