    No need, some of the old school soft plastic figures need it, and resin often does (Though when casting resin I never used a mould release.), never washed metals either.

    A guy on the old Military Modelling forum always wiped down with lighter fluid before priming, easier to get than IPA as newsagents normally have it.

      Never washed kits either, including resin.

        I've washed one or two, the rest I forgot to - no difference.

          I'm with Paul E. and Peter Day. I use oil base paints which in my opinion give better adhesion on most surfaces. Rick H.

            Am I missing something!?? My models are a right state before I paint them. I have to use a fibre glass pen to clean everything up and sand down areas that need it. The model is covered in dust and grime from being handled over several weeks. I must just be a mucky modeller :smiling2: :tears-of-joy:
