DocSchlock Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Needed or unneeded? They don't feel like that have release agent on them, so I'm thinking unneeded, just like PP plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassius Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's not like there are any harmful agents on them, but the plastic sprues can have, what I use to call "oil" on them. At least that's what I've learnt from Kris Belleau at MWG. Basically a layer of oily agent that can get your primer stripped more easily. I say it's always better to wash the sprues before doing anything AND after assembly, as You will leave some of the hand oils on the models too. Doesn't cost You much time to wash them, and can save a good paintjob, especially if models are used on the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bag-O-Guts Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I feel it's always good to wash off that mild release agent, which lets the adhesives work better and primer stick better. Just a little dishwashing liquid and warm water, and you're set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
