How should I store epoxy resin safely at home?

Proper storage of epoxy resin is crucial for both maintaining its quality and ensuring the safety of your home environment. Following a few key practices can help you enjoy crafting with confidence.

Best Practices for Storage

To keep your epoxy resin in optimal condition, always store it in a cool, dry location. Avoid places with direct sunlight, as exposure to heat and UV rays can affect the resin’s properties. It’s essential to keep the containers sealed tightly after each use to prevent contamination and prolong shelf life. A cupboard in a low-traffic area works well, as does a designated box away from heat sources.

Keep Out of Reach: Safety for Family and Pets

Epoxy resins should be kept securely away from children and pets. Even non-toxic formulations, such as One-2-One epoxy resin for handcrafts, require careful handling and proper storage. Consider high shelves or locked cabinets to minimise risk, and always label containers so there’s no confusion.

When This Matters

Safe storage is especially important if you regularly work with starter kits like the Evershine Collection or larger quantities such as found in the Trasparente resin range. Fluctuating temperatures, humidity, or accidental access can reduce your resin’s effectiveness and may pose unwanted risks at home.
