Editorial Policy

This Editorial Policy sets out the standards for preparing, reviewing, updating, and correcting content on LS Resin Lab.

Our Editorial Mission

LS Resin Lab publishes practical, understandable information for scale-model builders, resin-printing enthusiasts, automotive miniature collectors, and hobbyists. Our aim is to explain tools, materials, techniques, and troubleshooting methods while setting realistic expectations about results and safety.

Coverage may include resin 3D printing, model orientation and supports, automotive miniatures, surface preparation, sanding, priming, airbrushing, painting, clear coating, polishing, model photography, and workshop organization.

Topics are selected for their usefulness to readers. Common questions, recurring problems, reader suggestions, changes to products or software, and safety concerns help guide coverage—not sensational claims or click potential alone.

Accuracy and Content Preparation

Articles should answer a clear question, use verifiable information, explain relevant limitations, and distinguish factual statements from opinions or general suggestions. Before publication, content should be reviewed for technical accuracy, clarity, consistency, and appropriate safety context.

Settings and techniques must not be presented as universally correct. Results can depend on the equipment, material, software version, calibration, environment, and method used. Where relevant, articles should identify these variables and distinguish manufacturer specifications from illustrative starting points.

We do not guarantee that a particular exposure time, air pressure, paint ratio, support configuration, or finishing process will work for every project. When evidence is limited or conflicting, the content should make that uncertainty clear rather than present an unsupported conclusion.

Sources and Verification

Source selection should match the claim being made. We prioritize:

  • Current manufacturer manuals, product specifications, and safety data sheets (SDS)
  • Official software and equipment documentation
  • Relevant government and regulatory guidance
  • Educational and established technical publications
  • Model-building and 3D-printing resources with clear supporting evidence

Important technical and safety claims should be traceable to an appropriate source. Articles should link to or identify the supporting material where it helps readers verify a claim, understand its limits, or find current instructions. Product-specific guidance should identify the relevant product or version when that distinction matters.

Forum discussions, social-media posts, and promotional material may suggest questions worth investigating, but they should not serve as the sole evidence for consequential technical or safety advice. Manufacturer marketing claims should be distinguished from documented specifications and independent evidence.

Safety-Sensitive Information

Safety-sensitive claims require particular care. Advice involving uncured resin, solvents, paints, sanding dust, cutting tools, curing equipment, or electrical devices should be checked against current manufacturer instructions, the relevant SDS, and applicable local rules.

Depending on the task, articles should address relevant considerations such as:

  • Ventilation and exposure control
  • Appropriate skin, eye, and respiratory protection
  • Chemical storage, compatibility, and fire risks
  • Dust, cutting, and electrical hazards
  • Keeping materials and contaminated equipment away from children and pets
  • Handling and disposal of resin, solvents, and contaminated waste

We should not infer that a material is harmless from its odor, appearance, or marketing description, or recommend a shortcut that overrides documented precautions. If a safety claim cannot be adequately supported, it should be omitted or its limits explained rather than turned into actionable advice.

Website content is general educational information, not individualized chemical-handling advice or a safety certification. Readers should follow the current instructions and SDS for their specific resin, printer, paint, solvent, adhesive, tool, and protective equipment, together with applicable local rules. General website guidance does not override those requirements.

Authorship and Claims of Experience

Where the byline “LS Resin Lab Editorial Team” is used, it is a publication label, not a statement of professional qualifications, laboratory status, or independent certification.

Content must not invent personal experience, credentials, affiliations, quotations, product evaluations, or test results. A summary of documentation or other published material must not be presented as hands-on testing.

Any claim that LS Resin Lab tested a product must be supported by an actual documented evaluation. Such coverage should explain what was evaluated, the relevant conditions, and the limitations. Product photographs or illustrations must not be presented as evidence of first-hand use unless that description is accurate.

AI-Assisted Workflows

AI may assist research or drafting only when the resulting content is reviewed by a human before publication. That review must check factual claims against appropriate sources, confirm that sources support the statements attributed to them, and assess technical and safety guidance.

AI output is not evidence or a substitute for source verification. AI must not be used to fabricate experience, tests, sources, images, quotations, or credentials. It must not create the impression that LS Resin Lab performed work or observed results that did not occur.

Responsibility for published content remains with the publication, regardless of the tools used to prepare it.

Product Coverage and Commercial Disclosures

Product coverage should focus on relevant features, limitations, compatibility, intended uses, and safety considerations. A mention or recommendation does not mean that a product is suitable for every machine, material, environment, or user.

Prices, availability, formulas, specifications, warranties, and instructions can change. Readers should verify current product information before purchasing or using a product.

If LS Resin Lab uses affiliate links, sponsored content, supplied products, or other commercial arrangements relevant to an article, that relationship must be clearly disclosed where readers can see it before acting on the recommendation. Affiliate disclosures should explain that the publication may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Relevant financial or other conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners must not control editorial conclusions or require the removal of supported criticism. An advertisement is not evidence that LS Resin Lab has tested, approved, or guaranteed the advertised product.

Updates and Maintenance

Content may need revision when an error is identified, a product changes or is recalled, software or firmware is updated, a source becomes unavailable, or new information changes the advice. Safety-related problems take priority.

Substantive updates should be distinguished from minor formatting or wording changes. An updated date should reflect a meaningful review or revision, not merely make older content appear new. Articles that can no longer be maintained responsibly may be removed, redirected, or combined with other coverage.

Publication does not mean that every article has been checked against every subsequent product or regulatory change. Readers should consult current product documentation before relying on settings or safety instructions.

Corrections and Reader Feedback

To report incorrect, outdated, unclear, or potentially unsafe information, email drinkowushu@gmail.com. Please include:

  • The article URL
  • The statement or instruction in question
  • An explanation of the concern
  • A supporting source, if available

Correction reports are assessed against the available evidence, and confirmed errors should be corrected. Material corrections should include a note explaining what changed, especially when the original wording could affect a reader’s safety or conclusions. Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a correction note.

See our Corrections Policy for further information. Readers can also use the Contact Us page to suggest topics, report broken links, or ask about disclosures.
