how to handle resin
Last weekend I bought some Fenryll miniatures. So since this is the frist time I'll be working with resin miniatures, I need some advice.
First of all: cleaning, I've heard dishwashing soap is best, but someone else told me I had to use dilluted lemon juice. So what to do?
Next: cleaning mold residue: I assume I can use a hobby knife and needle file here just as with regular metal minis?
I also want to remove the miniatures from their bases (yes, they are molded on their base), how can I do this? Just with a knife or sanding paper? I've done this enough times with Reaper minis, but I'm afraid I'll damage the resin minis.
Thanks,

I wash them with dishwashing soap, sually clean them with a hobby knife and files, and remove parts with my hobby saw. Warming the resin a bit with a hairdryer or keeping in warm water helps by making the resin a bit softer.
