Need some advice here! I just bought resin bases for my Necrons:

Even more amazing looking in person, very nice quality! I've never painted resin before (just assembled the finecast Necron models I bought) and am wondering how exactly to wash them and with what kind of soap! For how long? Just the basics really, and if I have to wash the built finecast I have as well... I'm going to be taking my time painting these the best I can including my models but WILL be playing with them here and there (will be very careful of course). Thanks!

I just used dish soap in a bowl of water, worked for me without a hitch.

But also, Keep a bucket of water near and dip them constantly, both the fils and model for sure, so dust doesnt fl around, I know im paranoid about working with resin, so be careful man.

A little dish soap and a stiff bristle/chip brush or soft toothbrush will do the trick. It shouldn't take much to clean away the mold release. Just make sure you rinse them off thoroughly and let them dry fully before attempting to prime - soap residue or water drops will muck up a paintjob as much as the original release agent would have.

Ok, sounds pretty simple, also for the finecast that I've already built, will the super glue hold up fine while washing them?
