 How hot can a plastic/resin mini get painted and unpainted before tgere are issues? I think I'm dealing with a bed bug problem and don't want to throw away my collection just to be sure the pests are gone and heating super hot kills them

this is why I always base with diatomaceous earth

I honestly don't know, but at work, we have a 'bug oven' we put computers that gets up to 140℉ which is more than sufficient for kill bedbugs - I can take a couple minis I'm willing to ruin and do a test when I go to the office tomorrow. Do you mean 3d printed resin or like GW resin?

GW stuff! This would be great, thanks

Pulled 'em out after about an hour at 130 °F and the gun on the halfling sniper wasn't any bendier than before the oven. The Tau I was able to bend the ankles of slightly but only with a fair amount of pressure.

I'll check again this afternoon, assuming poo poo doesn't hit the fan with my actual job.

I assume Gw resin would be largely fine too since the usual solution to bent parts is "heat, then unbend and hold until cool".

Thank you so, so much.

I figure paint would melt though right?

 Would this be the thread to ask about magnetizing models?
