I have heard to do it both ways never have realy found a good reason. Do you soak you models completly or do a wash before seperator, like Labdue?

I was thinking this was the cause too for a while , like when I used the acrylic knock down wheel for bulk trim, that the acrylic was getting too hot and distorting. I guess with the combination of this acrylic this i might not be good. Looks like thick acrylic is the culprit, I have been monitoring that the pas couple of days and no shrinkage.
