Resin crafting can be creative and rewarding, but it’s important to keep safety front of mind to prevent common risks. Here are key steps to stay safe while working with epoxy and other resins.
Personal Protective Gear
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, such as nitrile gloves, to protect your hands from direct skin contact. Nitrile is preferred for its chemical resistance and comfort. For tasks requiring more precise grip, PU coated safety grip gloves can be useful. Safety goggles and long sleeves are also sensible to shield your skin and eyes from splashes.
Work Area and Ventilation
Choose a well-ventilated space and, if possible, work near an open window or use an extraction fan. Good airflow helps reduce the inhalation of any resin fumes, making your environment safer throughout mixing, pouring, and curing stages.
Safe Handling and Mixing Procedures
Thoroughly read and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for your chosen resin. When combining resin and hardener, carefully measure and mix to minimise splashes and accidental spills. Clean all tools promptly after use and store resin materials away from children and pets.
When This Matters
Following these routines is especially crucial for beginners, or whenever you’re handling larger batches, unfamiliar resins, or working in smaller enclosed spaces.
