What do you do with metal minatures? are you supose to put them in hot water as my friend said you should but he didnt say why and i cant ask him as he has moved away and theres this strange coating on the metal minatures.

Doesn't hurt. The mold release agent can occasionally cause primer to fail to adhere properly, so cleaning your models before priming isn't a bad idea.

You should wash it warm soapy water and scrub it with a toothbrush to get the mold release off.

thanks

Not buy them!

Kidding. Tooth brush works extremely well, one of those tiny brushes for cleaning car wheels works even better, because it's tougher plastic (but still won't scratch the model).

You should the same for resin models, just FYI. Even on plastics sometimes too.
