doorslammer1968 0 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 HELPPPPPPPP!!!!! What's the quickest way to remove excess window flashing in resins? The exactos take forever because of the thickness in some of these resins. Any suggestions? Thanks very much. Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty White 89 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Welcome to building resin kits! Unfortunately, there isn't any fast or easy way to remove flash which is the biggest gripe against resin kits. I would recommend using an Xacto knife with no. 11 blade to remove the larger chunks of flash, then move to jeweler's files to clean up the final configuration. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
doorslammer1968 0 Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 Thanks Rusty. I just got my Xacto and punctured the window flashing then kept the blade in and just sawed and some would start to tear off and continue down the seam lines. Not quite as bad as I thought LOL.

Ron Bell 208 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 You might try mini saw blades for your Exacto. They have very fine teeth and are very thin and come in all sorts of shapes. Several companies sell them. They usually come on something like a PE fret. They are not for the larger plugs you find on resin kits, but work well on flash and in tighter places. Here's some available from Micro Mark Tools. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks very much Brett. I'll look for my dremel, but they make a thin cutting blade for plastic. Link to post Share on other sites
