- This video shows how to clean-up resin utensils and work area after a day in the studio. I have been asked many times how I clean out the cups, stirrers and work surface I use to save waste and be able to reuse them. In this video I also show you some hint and tips that I use to make my life easier and to keep cost down and help protect the environment from constantly throwing things away. It really doesn't take too long, and easy is to follow. the great thing is that you know the next time you are going to work in that area, everything is ready and waiting for you to go.

Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I just discovered hand sanitizer cleans silicone molds wonderfully. I used it on an old, dull mold and even got back some of the shine (not all but enough to use it). Really easy. Oh and if you live in Canada, Gorilla clear tape works best to get old epoxy off molds.
I use baby wipes and then the warm soapy water but everything is still so sticky. I also worry about the little bits of resin in the water. Can't put it down any drain as it ends up out in the ocean and that is a big problem these days.
Probably the alcohol in it but I thing over time, that can damage the moulds.
You set a good example of good work habits. You respect your tools and your supplies. TY. (Not to worry about any messes, they just mean you are actually working. )
10/10 tips.

HAHA! Thanks for all your content. It's been super helpful as I start my resin art journey!
I’m new to the resin hobby and made some jewelry, spiders, large frog, gecko, snail and a couple of stainless steel rings. Rarely do you see a video on how to clean up your area. Very informative and I’m a subscriber. I enjoy the videos, excellent.
I absolutely *LOVE* your videos. You are so helpful.
Great info Steve. Don’t worry, been here 13 years and still can’t get the accent right! LOL!! 😁
Thanks Steve always helping others you're a good person :)
Thanks for all the useful information you provide. I ordered some resin and molds. Haven't arrived yet so in the meantime I am binge watching your videos. They are so informative and you make it all look easy. Love your sense of humour too. 💕🇨🇦
Me too. I'm informing myself as much as possible before I start.
I like the wood piece under the rubber mat. Makes it so much easier to move it around if you have to. Thanks for sharing...
Great help, thanks!
“A Trash Bag” I’m from Alabama and that was on point 😂
I’ve learned a great deal of handy tips. I try to keep my work area tidy as well. Thank you
Lol! Bum crack. I see it so often at my house , i didnt even notice . 😂. Thanks for the tips !
I found this very informative. A recent subscriber so catching up when and where I can lol. Think out of all the crafters I have watched you have inspired me the most to get started. Thank you ❤
I have a bunch of laundry soap cups that come with the containers. I use to save them for preschool projects for me kids when they were young. I have saved some in case I needed them for an art project or something. They will be perfect for resin.
ive just started using resin and i use a baking tray. that works well too and resin just falls off it . but im learning tricks from you and others so thx
Refreshingly clear and simple loved the tips
Thanks!! I appreciate your time to help us!
I liked that drip tray idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is very very helpful. I want to get started on some resin crafts for the first time but I thought it best to learn about craft space management and clean up. The product is a chemical I am learning to get familiar with.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Laughed so hard at the bit about saying "bag". I'm from Wisconsin and when I travel im asked to say "bag" cuz they want to hear it in my 'accent' lmao!!!! You are a hoot🙂🤣
Thanks for the hints!
Thank you! This video was so helpful and informative!
Steve i also have a thick piece of plastic on my bench i bought from Bunnings it makes it easier for wiping down while the resin is still semi wet

I love that you apologized for messing up an American accent because, man, how many times have Americans butchered the British accent 😂

What about cleaning your hands from resin? I used gloves and still managed to get the resin on my hands.
I also get resin residue on my hands, I use orange hand cleaner and it works too.
Dish soap worked for me.

How do ya clean the pipeettes
hello, i have a serious resin allergy. I made resin in this room for 1 year and 2 months, but I did not guess that epoxy was the cause of my eczema and severe itching and shedding of my dog. I had reserved a room in my house to make resin. After I realized that the cause of our allergy was epoxy, I gave up the epoxy completely and removed the materials from the house, but the tables, gas mask and hot air gun are still in the room and eczema occurs on my face every time I enter the room. Also, my dog is in this situation. I thought I had cleaned the floor and the tables completely, because there is no residue that I can see. however, our reactions to epoxy continue even though there is no epoxy in the room. What do I need to do to completely purify this room? I would be glad if you help. because I couldn't find any helpful resources or articles on this subject on the internet.
Stevee how to clean the pipettes?
Hi Steve. Didn't you say you put only the resin....NOT the hardener in hot water in the other Video?
