On the acid brushes I super glue the hairs into heel prior to use.
Apply and then use a heat gun or hairdryer to pass over epoxy to pop any bubbles and help the epoxy flow flat. If u have spinner great. If not flip until the epoxy sets. Usually an hour providing its not to thick. Give me a shout if needed.

Hi Billy, yes plastic. I wiped with alcohol and found out the alcohol markers (Copic markers) get obliterated. So, that being said, I think from the time I demold to "paint" I need to handle them with gloves.

I have to handle them because of the pour hole and flash, that need trimming.

I'll call you. I want to thin my 1 part but not much so I can dip and drip.
