Tips & Safety
Resin work is a ventilation and timing problem before it is a materials problem.
-
Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and a respirator when working with resins and solvents.
-
Refer to the specific Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the materials you are using for detailed handling instructions and safety precautions.
-
Mix resin and hardener/catalyst thoroughly according to manufacturer's instructions. Improper mixing can lead to poor curing.
-
Apply resin evenly to saturate the material. Avoid pooling or dry spots.
-
Working time is affected by temperature and batch size. Larger batches and higher temperatures will reduce working time.
