Here is some advice I provide to customers of products printed in Frosted Detail plastics as published on the cover page of my catalog (click here). I have received excellent feedback from customers that this advice helped. Here is the short version: 1. Clean your new parts with a mild water-based detergent like "Dawn", "Fairy" or "Simple Green" in water. Let your parts soak for a few hours to remove any wax. 2. Place your "Frosted Detail" parts in direct sunlight or under an ultra-violet light (UV) lamp for several hours (more is better) to fully harden the resin. 3. If necessary, smooth "Frosted Detail" surfaces with an "air eraser" (click here to see an example). Smooth "Strong and Flexible" plastic surfaces by applying thin layers of primer then smooth the primer. 4. Use the correct primer and paint for the type of plastic your part is printed in.
You're very welcome. Recently, a customer reported that Goo Gone damaged a FUD product he received. I have edited the post above to link to the most up-to-date advice. Best wishes, Steve
Hello, Meanwhile we've been ordering cleaning and painting hundreds of FUD and FXD models. Based on our experience we have made tips for post processing FUD and FXD parts: https://railnscale.com/tips-english/ Or look in any of our product instruction manuals on our website: https://railnscale.com/ Kind regards, Maurice
