Hi Guys

I am having issues with primer/undecoat on finecast. I have washed all the parts in soapy water and dried before trying to undercoat but it is as though there is a greasy film still on the stuff. Any advice on how to clean the stuff to get the undercoat to stay on?

Thanks

A thin layer of watered down PVA glue first, then paint on black. It worked for me. I do however suggest you get the black primer paint from GW's website or a spray undercoat. They would work better.

I have had the same problem. An old toothbrush and a good scrubbing worked for me.

I'll try washing them again and use a toothbrush again. Never had this issue with forge world resin. I do have some spray undercoat but the Vallejo is far superior which is why I switched to it years ago.

Ok this is something new.I thought one of the fan boys said you don't have to wash fine cast
Mold release can be difficult to remove. Fortress one of the pioneers of spun-cast resin recommend vinegar for removing mold release. You can tell if you get it all off when the resin drys flat. If it is shinny then you will have to wash it again. Try adding vinegar to dish soap and water and soak them over night. The oil will float off most of the time. I use a sponge to hold the figures under the soapy water so the release can float to the surface.

I would not recommend GW primer because of the cost. $.98 Walmart store brand flat black works fine. If it is necessary to use PVA as a binder for the primmer to stick I would not recommend the primer.
