If u want less brittle print buy proper resin (abs like or mix in sirayatech tenacious) and ignore everything about curing is this vid. Resin is either cured or toxic. Overcuring is one of these reddit mysteries. Resin. Is a build up allergic reaction. It's a great hobby so stay safe.

Great video One note - if you use a rattlecan clear spray - make 100% sure your model is dry - really dry - and it is not humid out when doing so - as it can affect how the clear dries.

PSA: buy abs-like resin. It's plenty flexible. Resin that is overcured is brittle, true, but undercured resin is still toxic and an irritant. In addition, it will still cure a little over time, so you're more likely to experience issues with your paint down the road and more suprise breaks after a year or so. Plenty of ABS like resin is the same price as other resins so it isn't more costly. If anything it saves money as it prevents breaks. Seriously, just cure your resin.

Great tips! You can also scuff pieces you plan to superglue together with some low-grit sandpaper. I find this works well for joining flat surfaces or larger contact areas than those shown here. I've heard people swear by two-part epoxy for when you really, really need thick pieces to stick together. On the other end, with really delicate connections, a dab of resin and that UV torch can provide a pretty strong bond.

These are really great suggestions too. I'm sure two part holds tightly, but probably more tightly than the model itself would hold, so if it's going to snap, where it was epoxied will be fine, but that just means it's snapping at the next weakest point XD

While I think the ResinWarfare "Ravenous Hordes" is still my preferred source for 3rd party Skaven proxies, I like how One Page Rules does their ratmen. Less like the vile under-dwellers Skaven are in Warhammer, and more like a professional feudal army. There's a respectability there, rather than being comically evil. Less Mordheim, more _Mouse Guard_ or _Redwall._

I thing that's why I've been having a really good time painting them. Because they are very different from the "traditional" skaven. I prefer the more Mouse guard style a lot, because I never thought of rats as filthy or evil to begin with.

IMHO, if you *really* want a super glued joint to hold forever, you should pin it. Admittedly, I do try and avoid doing that though as it's pretty tedious and time consuming. Especially when dealing with with large batches of minis.
@PaintmanJourneying
Жыл бұрын
The reason I don't suggest pinning when it comes to resin is, that while it will absolutely work to create a really strong bond between the joints getting glued....it's resin, it'll just snap somewhere else that's near by and weaker if it's going to snap. Sure I could pin the wrist and it'll never come apart, but then the arm or weapon's just gonna snap off instead, so I'd rather leave the wrist as the weak point.

@@PaintmanJourneying I do see your point but I think it's just going to be a personal decision as to your priorities. It seems we agree that - If you're super gluing and want to guarantee it will never fail, pinning them is the way to go but the downside is that it wont fail in a situation where you might rather it did. That would mean that you have to judge for yourself which failure mode is the more likely to occur - Glue failing from age or glue failing from some kind of rough handling. Honestly though, this isn't unique to resin. We used to mostly have to pin pewter due to weight and fit. Especially the old lead pewter. It has big problems if you drop it or something and the glue doesn't fail too. Even the plastics are susceptible. I remember A dog tail or maybe a cat knocked an old gw skeleton mini off of my table and it went unnoticed in the carpet and got stepped on. He was pinned to his base. Snapped an arm and both femurs but those feet where still attached to that base by god.

I haven't had it happen lots with the maxx matt, but when I was playing with the Colour resin finishes it did frost that up, I think the solution is to start making mixes of Matt and Satin varnishes, at some point there should be enough matte to keep it not shiny, and enough stain that it doesn't frost.
