After two weeks away on holiday I was eager to get back to the shed yesterday, and take a step back from the cockpit detailing to do a bit of preparation. Standard advice for all resin parts is to gently rinse them in lukewar soapy water to remove any of the oily release agent that might contaminate them. I’ve never had any trouble when neglecting this in the past but when I sprayed Tamiya Grey Fine Surface Primer on to the dash coaming it pooled and ran as if the surface was still quite greasy. It was, therefore, bath night for the rest of the resin parts.
