Keeping your resin gun in optimal condition isn’t just about performance—it’s also key to longevity. Regular cleaning will help prevent unwanted resin build-up and stressful clogs.

How Often Should You Clean?

You should clean your resin gun thoroughly after every use. Resin begins to cure as soon as it is exposed to air, and any residue left inside the dispensing gun can harden quickly, making it difficult to remove. Immediate cleaning stops stubborn blockages from forming in the nozzle and plunger, ensuring smooth operation the next time you use your equipment.

Simple Cleaning Routine

Create a habit of cleaning as soon as you finish dispensing resin. Start by wiping away any liquid resin from the nozzle and visible parts. For internal components, a high purity solvent such as Pure Isopropyl Alcohol gently dissolves uncured resin, making removal more effective. Alternatively, a natural degreaser can tackle greasy spots without introducing harsh chemicals to your workspace. Rinsing reusable application tools, like silicone brushes, in warm soapy water will further support a thorough clean.
