Safety

Scary text ahead! But it's shared with love because we want you healthy.

Respirator

This is a requirement, no ifs ands or buts. With proper precautions, you can cast for years with no issues. But if you cut corners and skip the mask or gloves, you risk a permanent lifetime of harm. Artisans have left the hobby because they've developed allergies to resin or respiratory issues.

Don't let those resin vapors drift into your lungs and harden into plastic.

Gloves

Skin is like a sponge. It might not look like it, but even touching wet resin for a second means some will get absorbed in your skin. Yikes.

Nitrile gloves are a cheap way to prevent this.
