Whether you are a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner, Craft Resin can be used with confidence — provided you follow the precautions below. Uncured resin and hardener are classified as hazardous to health: they irritate skin and eyes, the hardener is harmful if swallowed or in contact with skin, and repeated skin contact can cause an allergic reaction. Gloves and eye protection are not optional.

Safety First: Guidelines for Using Craft Resin

Craft Resin takes the safety of its users seriously and recommends following a few simple guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience with their products. By adhering to these recommendations, you can confidently use Craft Resin, knowing that your health is protected.

1. Wear Gloves: Craft Resin's epoxy resin is a sticky substance that can cause skin irritation if it comes into contact with your skin. To prevent any potential skin reactions, it is essential to wear gloves while working with the resin. A pair of gloves is included in every Craft Resin epoxy kit; for extra pairs, use nitrile gloves rather than latex.
2. Immediate Action for Skin Contact: In the event that the epoxy resin does come into contact with your skin, it is crucial to wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. This simple step can help minimize any potential irritation.
3. Eye Protection: Accidental contact with the eyes can be a cause for concern. If the resin comes into contact with your eyes, it is important to flush them with water for a few minutes without rubbing. Seeking medical attention promptly is recommended. To avoid any mishaps, wearing protective glasses or goggles is strongly advised.
4. Work in a Well-Ventilated Area: Proper ventilation is essential when working with any resin product. Craft Resin recommends working in a well-ventilated area to ensure the circulation of fresh air. If you are unable to work in such an environment due to temperature constraints or are unsure about the ventilation in your workspace, wearing a respirator is a good precautionary measure.
