How to Clean Resin Off Your Hands

- Here is a little trick from one of our customers. We use it all the time now! keep some poppy seeds by your sink. If you get resin on your hands, it is super sticky - so take a pinch of seeds with some soap and DRY rub your hands. This acts like an exfoliant. Then wash with water and run away happily. Stay away from cleaning with solvents like paint thinners or vinegar - these break down the resin and make it easier to absorb into the skin. Be safe, and have fun... you crazy artists! :)

Yeah because I have poppy seeds in my cabinet. Lmao! Hahaha! Thanks though. 😉
Lol I thought the same thing like wut about salt cause who have poppy seeds
I thought he said coffee seeds, meaning coffee grounds. Lol. I did it with that and it worked.
i heard coffee seeds...so i used coffee ad it worked!
Use salt.. that would work better
Thank you!! Brilliant tip!! I just had a large silicon mould explode and the resin fell all over my hands and I spent the day picking it off and it made such a mess! Everything I touched was affected! So lucky I did have some poppyseeds in the cupboard and this tip worked a treat instantly!! BRILLIANT!!
I would cry omg
that nearly happened to me today oh lordd
I'm a newbie with resin, and I have to say, this is helpful, but I didn't have poppy seeds anywhere close so I decided to try with pepper. IT WORKS ABSOLUTELY FINE.
Thanks for the tip :)
sand would probably work too
YOOOOO. I'M JUST STARTING OUT. super helpful. Lesson learned for next time lol
also, "Fast Orange" hand cleaner - they have it at WalMart, works great and leaves hands so soft - softer than expensive moisturizer soaps/lotions. You'll like it! 😍 $3.47 for a huge bottle that'll last you forever, some light pumice but doesn't hurt your hands at all. Try it.
Thank you. User error..no gloves lol wont try that again..my hands are sticky after washing multiple times
Exactly cute because of his expression when his wife sings in the beginning ☺️
I found the best way to get polyester resin (fiberglass resin) off your skin is plain old dollar store hand sanitizer. Comes off fast.
Amazing. It really does work. I thought you said coffee seeds, meaning coffee grounds. Lol. It did work with coffee grounds. I just did it. Thank you for posting.
You are right I tried coffee grounds and it work for me also👍🏽
i mixed dish soap and sugar and it worked really well!
It also makes your hands soft! Thank you so much!!!
@Cass Camden dish soap and sugar can’t be absorbed by skin
❤🎉 thankyou
I thought you was saying coffee grounds lol I use that and it works also👍🏽
Sigh, just needed one video that gives me instructions for things i can use that are actually in my cupboard. I dont think i have ever owned a poppy seed in my life! Now my finger is stuck to my phone writing this comment. I guess that serves me right for being grumpy and ungrateful 😂
In addition you can use sugar which is just slightly more common than poppy seeds ;)
Other artists have tried baby wipes, soap with baby powder or even an exfoliating body scrub.
Sugar and Dish Soap works very well for me.
I picked up some of those awesome nitrile gloves the other day. I usually work without gloves because I don't like how they feel but the nitrile are actually okay. I have been trying hard to use up all my existing resin making a bunch of 'fish ponds' so I can restock with Art Resin. :D
My neighbor (retired vet) has been printing up a few photos lately in larger sizes. Told him to make some extras so I can give them an Art Resin treatment when I get it. :D I will also make more fish ponds and even bought some fish bowl looking small votive holders which I plan to put water dragons in that I make from clay.
Awww was hoping you would make my day and pull that string! I am sweating buckets as the run start capacitor in my AC went out. It will be fixed today sometime. I am just waiting for the part to come in then will go buy it and come home to fix it. :p

Thank you so much, your trick helped me. It was very sticky on my hand but after trying your method, it’s gone completely.
Thanks m8. I fucked up my epoxy resin pour (leak) and the resin inevitably get into my hands when cleaning the mess... I didn't have poppy seed laying around but i found a pinch of coarse sand for diorama with the hand soap still works as well. Basically anything grainy and coarse...
Great idea Alex!
this was the perfect thing, worked according to plan. thank you! also to heather herrmann, you're missing out
Love this homemade tip :3 love the homey touch and the legit tip
Thanks!! These videos were so fun to make :)
I had sesame seeds and used it with dawn dishwashing liquid. I worked out very well.
Is that safe to wash your hands in the kitchen where food handled?
Yea lemme go grab poppy seeds outta nowhere with my hands full of resin great tip friend
We try to have everything ready by our work sink to save having to find it in a pinch.
I tried it with coffee grounds and dish soap, it worked
yes! Any kind of exfoliant will do the trick : )
Baby wipes work every time to get epoxy resin off your hands. I use Natural Care Baby Wipes Unscented.
Oh great. I will just go into my kitchen cupboard and get some poppy seeds. 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for sharing this neat trick with me. How,do you clean the mixing pots,from resin?
Hi Stephanie - We like to wipe them out with a paper towel and then clean with alcohol :) Here is our full blog www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/how-can-i-clean-epoxy-resin-mixing-containers
I like her voice. Couldn't make out what she was singing though.....
Video Friday with Art Resin
Helpful, thanks. I might try granulated sugar as I do not have Poppy seeds at the moment x
Your trick worked the best. I had started panicking until I came across your video. There is v little still left after trying this twice. Ant more tips?
Other artists have tried baby wipes, soap with baby powder or even an exfoliating body scrub :)
@@Artresin thank you for the quick reply. I tried baby wipes. I tried soaking my hands in salt water. M better now using ur method. God bless you. I think I will get a thick pair of gloves. Will 1st need to learn to clean all that I use. It was my 1st time n I didnt know when to stop stirring the resin. I didn't know resin gets hot. So many learnings. And I didn't find epoxy resin so trying one that is locally available
plz could you advise on now to clean face mask after using resin ?
If you are using a respirator, it would be best to follow the recommendations of the supplier on how to clean and how often to change the filters etc.
@@Artresin Thank you - I was rather referring to the part that is close to my eyes because I used a face mask and still got my eyes area injured - the window was wide open and ventilation on 😓😔
When you don’t have puppy seeds😂
It was just a suggestion....you could also use salt to get the exfoliant benefit. I've been known to have an old package of poppyseeds in my cupboard left over from that one specific baking recipe I made one time, lol!
Do you have tips/tricks for preventing resin drips on glass vases and coasters?
Thanks!
You can use painters tape to tape off the backside, once the resin has hardened, remove the tape and the drips along with it.
or cover the area with regular glue - like elmers, then when it's done, peel the glue off, if resin got on it, it'll come off with the glue.
i use washing powder dry same way
oooh good idea we will try that ! :)
Thank you starting a huge project in the morning!
You are very welcome. :)
First ever time doing resin any tips and how do u no it is completely of your hands
I also juat used a body scrub to het it of good exfoliator
Use an exfoliant to help remove all of the sticky residue, then you can be sure that it is all gone if you follow with a thorough soapy hand wash.
I work at a craft store and got a small amount of unmixed resin on my hands today. I was concerned because I've heard you're not supposed to touch it, but I already washed my hands with soap and they seem to be clean. Should I wash again with an exfoliator?
Often times if you just use soap and water you can still feel the sticky residue left behind. If that happens go grab some exfoliant to clean up. If you do not feel any stickiness or residue, you should be fine. Its always recommended to wear gloves when handling your open bottles to avoid any sticky situations :)
What if your fingers aren't sticky but they still smell? I need to eat but my fingers still smell :(
@@taylorc9594 try cleaning with the exfoliator and then soap and water, it should do the trick. Always be sure to wear gloves to keep your hands clean when working with ArtResin :)
Alcohol cleans it pretty well too
How about grout stain in hand I had on my hand over 3 days
good question! Give the grout company a call and see if they can help!!
Hii I found my skin under my thumbnail reddish and little burning sensation after using resin and hardener for crafts after few hours only I felt the reaction. Though I washed my hands thoroughly I think it went beneath my nails and I didn't notice.... Can you please tell me how to treat it 🤒🤒😭😭 I can't find any solution in net for this case.. everything is for sticky resin and on surfaces.... I don't know how to treat it after hours it shows some reaction 💔 please anyone help me
ArtResin can irritate skin so we recommend always wearing protective gloves while handling. If you have concerns on treatment of a skin irritation, please seek medical advice.
Thank you for this tip.
Will Chia seeds work instead of poppy seeds?
You can give it a try! I think chia kind of go slimy eventually when exposed to water, but try and see :)
can you do another 1 because i don't have poppy seeds
Hi Valentina, you don't have to use poppy seeds, you can use any type of exfoliant even course salt. Here is a link to a blog on how to clean up resin, cleaning from your hands is tip #4. www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/how-to-clean-up-epoxy-resin?_pos=4&_sid=6fbd91e7e&_ss=r
@@Artresin exfoliant or "pumice" soap such as Lava....
i use soap and baby powder. it works perfectly
Awesome tip! Many users may have baby powder more readily available :)
I use Sugar and Dawn Dish Soap. Works great. 👋
Great idea!
what if i left it on my hands thinking it wouldn't harm my skin? now it itches and a bit irritated?
Rom3: ask a doctor, it could get worse if you continue using it w/o gloves or w/o washing it off, and it could spread to arms and face
@@lindao7887 : TY at first when using Resin the one that cures with UV Lighting, Sun Ect i get it all over my hands and it did not harm me till months later i started using Other type of Resin and yeah, it started with an Itch and then skin Irritation. But since i moved to a new county i havent been crafting for quite a bit but ty for the advice and consider asking a Dr.
I used alcohol to remove some sticky from the Resin , now its sticky after 5 days+ which was caused by the alcohol, what do you suggest for removing the stickynesss?
Alcohol breaks resin down ( which is why it's great for cleaning tools or cured resin drips on the floor )If it has left a sticky spot on your resin you unfortunately will have to sand a pour another coat of resin.
ArtResin Thanks a lot.
What if u don’t have coffee seeds
You really can use anything that would act as an exfoliant :)
hi how about resin off vinyl floors
The cured resin should come off relatively easily. Try using a hair dryer to warm it up, then use a plastic scraper (or old credit card) or putty knife to lift it up and remove it. Have a look at our blog for more info: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/how-to-clean-up-epoxy-resin?_pos=1&_sid=ac01e4754&_ss=r
Hi do you know how to remove resin off AirPods without damaging them?
Hi Shahena, you could try rubbing alcohol to try to break the resin down, or even heating the resin with a hairdryer and trying to peel it off.
I used shushi seeds and they worked desently
thank yoU!
Thank you
Me, outside, resin on hand: where the hell am I gonna get poppy seeds
In addition you can use sugar which is just slightly more common than poppy seeds ;)
Other artists have tried baby wipes, soap with baby powder or even an exfoliating body scrub.
I had to have epoxy put down on LR floor. My cat sneeked out and ran across it just as it was put down.
Oh the mess! Her poor paws! And she is a long hair fluffy cat. I immediately washed the epoxy with soap and water and
It did not help at all. I just had to painstakingly cut it off or at least try to break it up so that she could bite it off herself.
Worse mess I ever saw!
Oh no! Poor Kitty! Sorry to hear you had such an ordeal.
What is the name of the resin washer?
You can use any kind of exfoliant to help clean your hands.
Just buy some "Fast Orange" at WalMart or wherever, works great, leaves your hands very soft and smelling delicately of orange.
Pls help me!!! Nothing is working, I tried all methods. My hand is literally sticking to stuff. For example like Spider-Man. It’s so annoying can someone pls help me
We find an exfoliating cleanser works really well, We use the orange pumice cleanser that mechanics use--it cleans hands really quick.
@@Artresinalright thank you,
Salt and other abrasive ingredients should work too. I was using copper shavings and it still didn’t get it all off lol
salt soap and hot water did not work for me.
Does chia seeds work ?
Hmmm, have not tried chia seeds. They get kind of slimy when wet, but they may work!
Thanks.Ive tried everything and I really need to move on with my life😝👏👏
I use white vinerager
Thank you so much (sand works too)
Yes! Any kind of exfoliant is a huge help 🙂
Cute video! Helpful too - thx
Where tf do I get poppy seeds 😅
You can find poppy seeds in your local grocery store
Are these the flower seeds or some kind of cooking spice? I have a ton of flower seeds for poppies it is one of my favorite flowers so I plant them every year. thanks so much for the tip - I will wait to hear which type it is :)
These were actually purchased from the grocery store spice section but I'm sure either would work fine. Really anything you have in your cabinet that would help to serve as an exfoliate would work :)
Funny, but not everyone has poppy seeds just lying around unfortunately..
Hi Roxanne, you can also use salt, sugar or coffee grinds to act as an exfoliant to help get any sticky resin off your hands :) Then wash with soap and warm water.
👍🏼 👍🏼 Wow it really works 👍🏼 👍🏼
what about salt
We haven't tried salt yet. Let us know if it works for you :)
Butter also worked
Butter? Interesting!
curel hand lotion or dojo
Dawn, vinegar and poppy seeds… Thank me later!
Who the heck has poppy seeds laying around?
The idea is to think outside the box and use something that will act as an exfoliant. If you don't have poppy seeds, you could use salt, sugar etc... The exfoliant really helps to cut through the stickiness.
Baby wipes or alcohol work wonders
Not helpful at all! Who has poppy seeds just incidentally laying around their house?!!! Meanwhile, my fingers are stuck together while I look for a remedy. 😬
All of us who love baking lemon poppyseed loaf do! Don't worry, if you don't have poppy seeds just use something similar that will act as an exfoliant.
If you have any coffee grounds around your house it works also thank me later👍🏽👍🏽
You guys crack me up!
After cleaning your hands you can use the left over poppyseed to make tea,😂
I wear gloves and resin gets all over me and everything else!
It can do that! It's always important to put down drop cloths, table coverings, wear an apron, tie your hair back otherwise you can end up with sticky resin in some inconvenient places ;) I often end up changing gloves part way through if they are too sticky.
thanks for dat
I didn't have poppy seeds but I used my body scrub and that worked
Baby oil
Oh! We haven't tried this one!
Just grab some ACETONE! Or WD-40
We don't recommend using acetone or alcohol or any other solvent to remove resin/hardener from your skin as the solvent will dissolve the resin and make it easily absorbed into your skin. Acetone is great for removing resin residue from surfaces but do not use it for skin.
I have figured out a much better way.
thank you
