Okay. Have decimator and know I have to wash it blah blah blah. How long do I let it soak for? And for glueing it, Is it okay to just simply super glue it like any other model?

Just search on google this stuff, Foregeworld has an article about preparing their models anyway.

The rarefied atmosphere

soak overnight in a bowl of warm water and dish soap. get second bowl of warm water the next day. take out a piece from the first bowl, rinse, place in second bowl. Use sonic toothbrush. repeat until all parts are cleaned. then repeat entire process a second time. using this method i've not had any problems. sonic toothbrush FTW.

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

Las Vegas

I soak all of my resin components in full strength Simple Green for 24 hours, then scrub them with an old toothbrush and rinse with clean water. I let them air dry on an old towel for 24 hours. Superglue and resin seem to be made for one another, especially if you sand or file the joins first and get a little tooth on the surface.

I support the calls for 'dish soap' and hot water overnight.

I have also done for some resins wher eI wash, dry then prime, then run my finger over the primer to see what detatches. The explicitly scrub those areas with direct soap, wash, dry then re-prime. Washing primed models doesn't seem to cause any issues.

I find Forgeworld pretty good with not needing extreme washing compared to other resins I have had. I had an old Armorcast Bowelburna which had parts on it which to this day I cannot get clean and paint has trouble attaching to it. I had to sand down the surface to the point the mold release was gone and then paint it.
