Michael.
I'm so tempted. Just not so sure my skill level is there as yet.

John,
I've really been thinking about it. It's not the resin parts that concerns me, as I've worked with resin After Market parts for years when building aircraft. it's the White Metal that really concerns me. Honestly, I'm not that confident that I can get the needed finish without destroying the parts.

Most just need a vinegar bath, priming, and a little cleanup. Not much different than resin, but yes you still need to wear a mask. The only real issues with it are long thin parts but they are easily bent back to shape. Just don't go too far. Resin on the other hand can be a nightmare to straighten. |

RW,
Thanks, that's a shot in the arm for sure. Will really be giving this a lot of thought.
