hai,

how are you folks dealing with fingerprints on models while manipulating the thing for decalling, or weathering or simply to move it from one shelf to another?

just washing your hands just beforehand does 95% of the job.

The first thing I do is wash my hands well using soap. This removes excess oil. If I have a longterm project requireing lots of manipulation I will place a pice of Tamiya low tack tape at a strategic point on the model and handle only the taped parts ....

Anytime I think fingerprints are going to be an issue. I first wash my hands really well the I use medical type rubber/latex gloves.

I always keep a pair of white cotton gloves with my modeling supplies, for handling models when ever I am concerned about fingerprints, I prefer them to the rubber gloves.
