I learned about washing resin models before you build them but I had already built a few, is it ok to wash them as well or should I just skip them? Will the glue hold up in the soapy luke-warm water? Thanks!

Superglue should be fine unless you leave them immersed in hot water (but the resin will soften also if you do that.).

Warm water and a scrub with mild detergent with an old toothbrush is mainly to remove any left over mould release that will prevent paint sticking to the resin.

I haven't painted the ones that are built. I know that that's what washing them is for, I'm just wondering if it's ok to still wash them (even if they are built) before painting them or if I should just go ahead and paint.

Wash them.

Quick brush with some warm soapy water and a toothbrush is enough.

Superglue will be fine.

Awesome, thanks so much!
