A tip on making Reskit nozzles


Recommended Posts

Just a quick tip. When making Reskit resin nozzles, most of the cutting to free the parts from their casting blocks is pretty straight-forward. However, the afterburner flame holders are a bit of a challenge. These parts are three-dimensional in that they are conically shaped. I've tried cutting them free and am here to warn you not to do that--you'll probably end up damaging the parts (at least, if you're as clumsy as I am)! Instead, get a corse sanding stick and sand the excess away gradually. It's time consuming and messy, but the part will end up intact and you won't beat your head against a wall for being an idiot--a much better outcome. Here are a couple of pictures illustrating the point.
