Resin & Acrylics
Resin & Acrylics
With my recent order from Lineside Delights due any day now, I am in need of some answers to the following:
1) Can I use Epoxy Resin as an adhesive for resin kits?
2) When cleaning brushes after painting using acrylics, what do I use to clean the brushes with?
Thanks in advance,
Si

Yep, I have used araldite on them.
Assuming you are talking about their buildings...
Make sure you give the parts a really good wash before building, I've found paint doesn't stick otherwise.
You might need to sand or trim the odd bit so it fits together ok.
You might need to use a bit of filler in the corners to tidy things up a bit.
If one of the bits is a bit bowed warm it up in hot water which will make it go a bit bendy and push it flat on a flat surface (kitchen work top works ok).
So far I have built on of the small line side huts (should be some pictures on here somewhere), and I am currently building the crofters cottage.

Araldite I can see no problem with. As for acrylics I have used white spirit or turps in the past and it seems to do the job.
