Working with epoxy resin opens up a world of creativity, from glossy coasters to stunning river tables. But as a beginner or novice craftsperson, safety should always come first. At Craft Resin, we’re committed to helping you craft securely and carefree. Let’s explore the essentials of epoxy resin safety, why Craft Resin is a trusted choice, and how to protect yourself and the environment while creating.
Why Safety Matters in Epoxy Resin Art
Epoxy resin is a chemical product, and mishandling it can lead to skin irritation, fumes, or environmental harm. Safety ensures you can enjoy crafting without risks. For example, improper mixing or curing can cause overheating, leading to burns or toxic fumes. Our video Epoxy Resin Safety Tips explains how to avoid these issues, showing simple steps to keep your workspace safe. By prioritizing safety, you protect yourself, your loved ones, and your creative space — so you can focus on the joy of crafting.
Why Craft Resin Is a Safe and Reliable Option
Craft Resin is designed with your safety in mind. Our formula is low-odor and non-toxic once fully cured, making it a great choice for beginners. It’s also UV-resistant, ensuring your projects stay clear and vibrant without yellowing over time. We follow strict manufacturing standards to minimize harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), so you can craft with peace of mind. In our video Why Choose Craft Resin?, we share how our resin is tested for safety, giving you confidence in every pour. With Craft Resin, you’re choosing a product that’s as safe as it is beautiful.
Safety Precautions When Using Craft Resin
To craft safely, follow these beginner-friendly precautions:
- Work in a Well-Ventilated Area: Open windows or use a fan to reduce fume exposure.
- Wear Protective Gear: Always use nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and a long-sleeve shirt to avoid skin contact.
- Mix Carefully: Follow Craft Resin’s 1:1 ratio (by volume) precisely to prevent overheating — measure with clear cups for accuracy.
- Avoid Heat Sources: Keep your workspace away from open flames or hot surfaces, as resin can be flammable during curing.
-
Cover Your Workspace: Use a plastic sheet or silicone mat to catch spills and protect surfaces.
Our video Safety Precautions for Resin Crafting demonstrates these steps in action, showing how easy it is to stay safe while crafting with Craft Resin.
The Importance of Proper Resin Disposal for the Environment
Improper disposal of epoxy resin can harm the environment. Uncured resin is considered hazardous waste — it can contaminate soil, water, and harm wildlife if dumped carelessly. As responsible craftspeople, we must protect our planet. Craft Resin encourages eco-friendly practices because your creativity shouldn’t come at nature’s expense. By disposing of resin correctly, you ensure a cleaner, safer world for everyone.
How to Dispose of Resin Leftovers Safely
Here’s how to dispose of Craft Resin leftovers properly:
- Cure All Resin: Mix any leftover resin and hardener, then let it fully cure into a solid form — this makes it non-hazardous.
- Use a Sealed Container: Place cured resin, used gloves, and mixing cups in a sealed plastic bag to prevent leaks.
- Check Local Regulations: Contact your local waste facility to find out where to dispose of cured resin — some areas have specific hazardous waste drop-off points.
-
Never Pour Down the Drain: Uncured resin can clog pipes and pollute water systems, so always cure it first.
The video Safety Precautions for Resin Crafting also covers disposal tips, showing how to handle leftovers responsibly. With Craft Resin, you can craft beautifully while keeping the environment safe.
