I'm now going through the process of tidying up the seats how do you remove the plug at the bottom of them safely??

Maybe a bread and butter thing to know how to do, but its the first time I've worked with a resin seat.

Many thanks

You've got a couple of options.

  1. Sand it off - manually if you don't have a Dremel
  2. Cut it off with a razor saw
  3. Cut it off with a cutting wheel if you have a Dremel

For all the options though, do it in a well ventilated space (I usually cut them off with my Dremel outdoors), and wear a respirator if you have one, a particle mask if you don't. Those small particles ain't good for your respiratory system :who-let-rip:

All those work real well...personally I have been using one of the saws that John Vojtech markets:

Its about as thin as a razor blade, but has extremely fine teeth on each side. With it I can make a very small, straight cut. Then tidy things up with a sheet of sandpaper taped to a wooden board. (Makes the bottom of the seat nice and flat for super gluing into the cockpit ;))

Personally I use a belt sander. its quick and efficient and I have a vacuul attached so I get no resin dust in my lungs :)

My sander is made by Delta and I bought it from Micro Mark.

I use a razor saw. Cheap, uncomplicated and it lasts for ever. The only motive power needed is in your arm already.
