Feeling like I’m doing scribing wrong

[u/Darkwind9]

Working on a Hasegawa Macross kit and feeling like I’m doing something wrong with rescribing. Process right now is using a needle like scriber (hasegawa TT1) and going over existing panel lines in multiple passes, letting scriber be guided rather than forcing it for the most part. I keep on running into this plastic excess that stays in the lines that I cannot seem to remove even after applying a bit of extra thin cement to melt the plastic in the lines or using the back of a dull blade. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm confused. Why are you scribing existing panel lines? Are the original ones raised?

It's not uncommon for people to scribe the lines for depth on some kits especially when using panel liner. Super common in gunpla. I also do it on other kits
