Any suggestions for removing resin parts from the block? I tried a Dremel and it makes quite a mess and cannot be too healthy. What else can be used? Any advise would be great.

Hi Eric, check out some of Alan McNeilly's and Pat McGrath's Resicast reviews and their build logs for some good tips on working with resin. Personally, I haven't worked with resin yet, but those two guys seem to use it quite a bit.

I would recommend a razor saw for cutting off the blocks and a sharp knife for final cleanup. I only sand resin as a last resort and always wet.

The fine dust kicked up by the dremel is very harmful when inhaled.

Paul,
Thanks for that advice. When I was trimming the part with the dremel, I had a feeling that the dust could not be good, so I put on a mask. Tomorrow I will buy a razor saw. Thanks.
Love the hobby, but not worth the damage to the lungs.

If I ever have to use a dremel or mechanical sander that really kicks up dust I have a jig that will hold a vacuum hose at the edge of my work bench. I turn that on while I sand and it sucks out the dust pretty well. I also use a mask while Im doing it.
