NiceGuyAdi Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've been making some forays with Green Stuff this evening (and I'll be doing some Milliputting tomorrow, too). I've been fairly liberal with the Vaseline as I've worked. Before I prime the miniature, will I need to get that off, and if so, what's best to do that with?

Dagoth Ur Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yes you will since Vaseline will prevent the colour from sticking. I wouldn't know what to use, but I suppose regular dishsoap and lukewarm water should work. You may want to try out water based lubricants, as they wash off easily. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328305-washing-green-stuff-before-priming/#findComment-4577376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovidius Incertus Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I just use dish soap. Says it cuts grease, so I figure that's more or less Vaseline.

m_r_parker Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Never had experience with this, but feels like the FW resin process would work well.

Isolia Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Vaseline is oil-based (that's why it's discouraged from use with latex-based protection for private life , it swells and damaged it) so you can remove it with multiple soapy warm water washes or any detergent. Make it foam a bit before use so that you don't end up with soap or detergent left behind after rinsing . Make sure it dries overnight as small recesses will hold water for some time I use water to sculpt greenstuff so I just let it dry a day or two and prime chaos black directly on it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328305-washing-green-stuff-before-priming/#findComment-4578383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wash with dishsoap and warm water - twice - and then prime and paint as normal. You just have to make sure you get all the vaseline off, and that's basically it. Greenstuff otherwise primes/paints just like plastic models do.

Trevak Dal Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Instead of using Vaseline I use astroglide (waterbase). That way after the gs cures you can just wash it off. Do not use silicone base. It will never come off...

Augustus b'Raass Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Never had experience with this, but feels like the FW resin process would work well. Wash in hot soapy water Spray with Purity Seal Undercoat No, no, no, no, no. The Purity Seal before undercoat thing is a persistent, false myth that is utterly rubbish. Purity seal is not an undercoat and does not function as one, nor does it strengthen the bond between miniature and paint. On the contrary: it will weaken the bond between your miniature and the paint you're going to use. Just give your FW and Greenstuff a good rinse with warm water and soap. Wait to dry and then just use an undercoat, preferably a canned undercoat - as that has additional thinning agents that will dissolve and thus partially neutralize any remaining grease particles.
