A few months back I got a big box of resin building kits from a Tabletop Basement kickstarter, and finally got round to opening one of the packs to see what was inside. My main question is: what is the best adhesive to use on resin parts, especially for resin-to-resin bonds?
A few more details about working with resin kits:The "good" side holds very detailed stone or timber-framed surfaces, and is entirely satisfactory. The "off" side leaves me wondering what to do. At the edges and around the door and window spaces, the surface of the resin rises up in a sort of puckered lip all around the edges, it's doubtless an artifact of the pouring and drying process. Now, if I were just assembling the buildings for their exterior appearance, that wouldn't be much of a problem, except for the assembly phase. But I'm planning on doing interiors, so...Subsidiary questions:1) Should I try to trim the puckered edges flat prior to assembly (adjoining walls, etc) or should I plan on filling in the cavities during assembly?2) Should I use an Xacto knife to trim the puckered edges around the doors and windows, or will I have better results with a dremel wheel? Is resin dust going to be a problem?
It sounds like the pieces were cast in an open mould. In this case, is the "off side" devoid of all detail, i.e. a flat surface, or is there detail on there?
