Just a word of warning though, when you saw or sand resin bits: wear a mask as fine resin dust does not do anything nice to your lungs...

James, I can only go from what I do, but in answer to your questions:

1. I use either a razor saw, or a small razor saw blade, about an inch long, in a scalpel handle.
2.Use superglue, or possibly epoxy.
3.I usually just wash them thoroughly in detergent and then paint, but I know several manufacturers, Gunze for sure, produce a dedicated resin primer.

Hope this helps.

Resin??
Posted by HomagerMan on Thursday, September 16, 2004 6:12 AM
I have gotten a few resin parts over the last few days for my UH-1H and was wondering,
1. What is the best way to remove it from the block?
2. What is the best glue to use?
3. Do I have to prime them before I paint them?

Thanks for any help,

JamesSmile [:)]
