Ed Fluck suggests using thinners.

I don't recall saying that. I suggest (with my resin) that you simply wash it in regular Dawn dish washing liquid and luke warm water prior to primer. My resin does not need to be soaked in anything to remove the mold release agent because it is a paint-able release agent. When I have mentioned lacquer thinner it was in regards to stripping paint off of the resin, and even then it was not suggested that you soak the resin in lacquer thinner but rather wipe the primer or paint off with a dampened rag or paper towels followed by a wash with Dawn again before starting over............just don't want anyone reading this info to think otherwise.

No apology needed  here my friend. I simply caught onto this thread looking for something else this evening and wanted to make sure no one was mislead since soaking resin in lacquer thinner can likely dry it out or cause damage..........and it's rough on the lungs to boot!
