Thorough cleaning with isopropyl alcohol

For the removal of fine residues or surface bubbles, Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY is an excellent choice.

Note: Always use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from heat or open flames.

Apply with a Coloured Microfibre Cloth or directly onto the surface as needed. The alcohol will dissolve and lift away any contaminants, ensuring your next project starts on a spotless foundation.

Making tool maintenance easy with reusable accessories

Eco-conscious makers will appreciate the practicality of a Reusable Silicone Resin Brush for Epoxy Art and Wood Applications. After your project, simply rinse the brush with warm soapy water. The high-quality silicone bristles are designed to shed resin easily so you can reuse the brush without lingering stickiness or residue.

Similarly, our Mixing Buckets Kit for Epoxy Resin Art – Easy Clean Flexible Design revolutionises mixing and pouring. Once your resin has cured, gently squeeze the bucket’s flexible walls and the hardened resin releases without extra effort. This not only protects your mixing containers but also saves time with every cleanup.
