What Safety Precautions Should I Take with Resin Wall Coatings?

Working with resin wall coatings allows for beautiful, durable finishes, but it’s important to prioritise your safety throughout the process. This quick guide covers key precautions for a safer application experience.

Protective Equipment and Workspace Preparation

The first line of defence is personal protective equipment. Always wear well-fitted chemical-resistant gloves and protective goggles to shield your skin and eyes from direct contact with liquid resin, which can cause irritation. Consider a long-sleeved top and trousers for extra coverage. Just as vital, work in a well-ventilated area—open windows and use fans to disperse any fumes or odours created during mixing and application.

Safe Handling and Clean-Up

Keep your workspace free from clutter, and prepare any tools, such as application rollers, before opening your resin kit. Avoid eating or drinking where you work, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling resin, even if you’ve worn gloves. In case of accidental skin contact, clean immediately with soap and water—do not use solvents. Consult the product’s safety sheet, provided with each resin like the Vertical Glass wall coating, for specific instructions and emergency information.

When This Matters Most

If you’re working in confined spaces or tackling large wall areas, ventilation and consistent use of protective gear significantly reduce risk.
Pay extra attention when mixing pigments or additives, as these processes may introduce additional particles or fumes.
