proper treatment of FXD parts?

[Wutter]

How would you get them off sprue w/o damaging them?

I usually use flush cutters on the back of the part and maybe a #11 blade to do any cleanup if needed. CA is my go to glue for FXD parts, but in this case of a headlight cover going on a clear part, I would recommend Kristal Klear or Canopy Glue.

Didn't want to start a new thread on Bestine soaking for FUD/FXD, but here's something completely different:



That's a little gadget called a "tea infuser". It's a spring-loaded screen clamshell, normally used to drown tea or herb leaves for one's favorite brew. After  a few episodes chasing small parts around in jars of Bestine, I clearly needed something to corral the small bits. In this case, the small bits are 40 of Lemosteam's bridge shoes. Problem solved!

Many a kitchen gadget has found their way to the work desk. And my GF has some REAL NICE makeup brushes that would be great for weathering! Don't think she would like a rust blush;)
