Has anyone built a "swayback" structure ?

[doctorwayne]

The basis for my structure ...4 main walls ...is an Alder Models resin kit . There is talk of cleaning the resin surface with " ResinPrep " . I'm going to be using an oil based paint ....can I clean surfaces with something other than ResinPre ? I'm trying to avoid buying anything these days , but I also want the paint to adhere properly , given the release agents they use when making the resin pieces .

Any other suggestions ? They say soap and water won't do the trick .

Try lacquer thinner (but only on what will be an unseen area). I've used it to clean Sylvan resin kits, but pieces with a small cross section can sometimes be deformed by over-exposure. A quick splash over the part, then rinse or wash in water with dish detergent. Another option might be 99% alcohol.
