Act Quickly Before the Resin Hardens Inside the Gun

Why Immediate Cleaning Is Crucial

Epoxy resin begins to cure rapidly once exposed to air, and if left inside your gun, it can harden and block internal mechanisms. This not only makes subsequent cleaning far more difficult but can also permanently damage your tool. Cleaning promptly prevents stubborn build-up and prolongs the lifespan of your equipment.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

• Disassemble the gun: Carefully take the gun apart as per manufacturer guidelines.
• Wipe off excess resin: Use a disposable cloth to remove as much liquid resin as possible while it is still fresh.
• Use a suitable cleaner: For most resin residues, Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% is highly effective for dissolving uncured resin from internal and external surfaces. Apply with a cloth or soak removable parts briefly, then wipe clean.
• Alternative natural option: If you prefer a plant-based cleaner, a Strong Technical Degreaser can also help break down resin residue gently without damaging the surfaces of the gun.
• Finish and dry: Allow the parts to air dry thoroughly before reassembling your gun.

When This Matters Most

If you’re pausing between uses or working on multi-step projects, make it a habit to clean the resin gun immediately after each painting session. This is especially important for busy workshops or during periods of frequent tool use.
