Wear Protective Gloves and a Mask When Handling Resin and Putty

Why Protective Equipment Matters

Resins and polyester or epoxy-based putties can emit vapours and may come into contact with your skin during mixing and application. Wearing disposable nitrile gloves helps prevent potential skin irritation or allergic reactions. Similarly, a mask provides a barrier against dust produced when sanding cured materials, and helps reduce exposure to fumes when working in less ventilated spaces.

Practical Tips for Safer Handling

• Wear well-fitting gloves each time you mix or apply resin, hardeners, or putty.
• Use a particulate or respirator mask when sanding or shaping cured products, or if working with materials in enclosed areas.
• Work in a well-ventilated area to further reduce exposure to vapours and dust.
• Clean skin promptly if contact occurs, and avoid eating or drinking during application.

When This Matters Most

Taking these safety steps is especially important during large repairs or when extensive sanding is involved. For projects like filling deep dents or prepping for paint with products such as CROP 2K Fiberglass Putty – 750 ml + Hardener, consistent protection helps keep your workspace safer and your skin healthy.
