Cleaning and Safety Tips:

• Protective Gear: Always wear nitrile gloves to protect your skin and safety goggles to protect your eyes when working with epoxy resin.
• Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of fumes. Consider using a respirator if working indoors for extended periods.
• Mixing Accuracy: Precisely measure and mix the resin and hardener according to the 2:1 ratio by weight to ensure complete curing. Inaccurate mixing can lead to a sticky, incomplete cure and potentially harmful fumes.
• Storage: Store resin components in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
• Spill Management: Clean up spills immediately with acetone or a universal thinner. Hardened resin can only be removed mechanically, such as by sanding.
