Resins are reactive chemicals, and whilst they are safe when handled correctly, they can have unpleasant side effects if miss-used.

Always wear protective glasses when handling resins, especially when pouring mixing or brushing them, as splashes can otherwise easily get into your eyes.

Always wear suitable gloves when handling resins. It is easy to become complacent because the effects of skin contact are often not immediate. Too much skin contact can lead to conditions such as dermatitis, and once this has happened the user is often sensitised, and then much more prone to such problems.

When you have finished working for the shift, remove your coat, gloves and protective glasses and wash your hands thoroughly.

Never eat or drink in the workshop; keep food and chemicals apart.
