How to Care for Resin Miniatures Long-Term

Resin miniatures offer amazing detail and sharp edges — but they also need a bit more care than plastic or metal models. Here's how to keep your minis looking great for years to come.

📦 Storage Tips

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Avoid high heat (like windowsills, cars, or attics)
  • Use foam-lined containers or display shelves with dust covers

🖌️ Handling & Painting

  • Wash raw prints in mild soap and water before priming
  • Always prime before painting — helps paint stick evenly
  • Use light coats of paint and seal with a matte or satin clearcoat

🛡️ General Protection

Even after painting, resin minis can chip or warp under pressure or heat. Always transport them in protective cases, especially if you're headed to a game night or convention.

With just a little care, your resin miniatures will stay table-ready and display-worthy for the long haul. Questions? Feel free to ask — we’re always happy to help.
