I think its just issues with the resin as I have older stuff from them that was spotty. I just hadn't ordered it from them and bought it off a friend.<br /><br />Tristan: I am in Canada and believe much of the issue with the time it took to arrive is customs. And thick flash on resin can be an annoyance to remove as it often overlaps detail or makes for uneven edges. Thin flash is just a byproduct of casting and not really a huge defect.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662459314139078292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567897794229811358.post-5544131923918650792011-10-13T18:08:04.650-04:002011-10-13T18:08:04.650-04:00Are you in Canada? 20 days is pretty excessive - u...Are you in Canada? 20 days is pretty excessive - unless they shipped through UPS (been a while since I ordered there - don't remember what method they use)<br /><br />I would say it's unfair to call excess flash a defect - it is just annoying.

I got some terminator shoulder guards and some iron hands storm shields. The casting was excellent, virtually no flash either!<br /><br />I just thought I ought to point it out, because you "may" have just had an unlucky experience.

Doing that let me press the two halves in a vice to press out extra green stuff and allow it to cure. This leaves some hellish flash but that was easily cut away with a knife and steady hand.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662459314139078292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567897794229811358.post-67755299352420136302011-09-19T17:07:16.001-04:002011-09-19T17:07:16.001-04:00What technique did you use??
