Your Techniques On: Flash and Seam Removal.

Hello friends.
I though I would start these posts in order to gain some insight and to learn something more than what I already know. I hope you all will contribute to these posts and I hope you learn something also.
I am wondering how you guys handle flash and seam removal, what tools do you use and how do you use them.
For myself, for "flash" I usually use varius sharp X-acto knife blades to remove the flash until the blades start to touch the acual part because the flash has been removed. After that, I finish with a very fine grit sandpaper and apply some Testors silver to see if the part is nice and clean.


As for the leftover plastic that is left over after cutting the parts off the spures ( I am not too sure what this is called) , I use a course file or sanding sticks when the left over plastic from the tree is still safe to sand. When it gets down to a little stub, I switch to a fine or very fine sandpaper to finish it off. This usually depends on the shape and where these part/spure holder are attached.

Hoped this helped in any way.
