Hi Bob --
The real key to removing parts from the sprue is getting set of PBL extra
fine sprue cutters (that might not be his term). The look like tweezers
with a hooked end that has very sharp, very thin cutting jaws. They get
into places that an X-acto #11 blade won’t go without cutting the part. NOT
cheap ($22?), but worth every cent. They also are great cat claw
nippers...
Have fun!

After reading Don's comments about the ABS vs metal vs styrene. I
wonder if the thinness of the final product might determine the 'mix' or
pressure used in making sure the product was fully formed. I've had
some of the PRS air and brake lines just snap when de-spruing them,
however the same thing happens with the ladders on the AM gondola which
is ABS.
