- Hi guys, I decided to make a concise, stand alone resin safety video instead of having it "hidden" in my Resin For Dummies Series so people will actually see it. Also I've added more updated info on this subject! Please take safety precautions seriously when working with resin!!
Here’s a useful info regarding different filters for respirators: multimedia.3m....

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: • RESIN SAFETY | Importa...

Why do I use two different types of resin in my projects?
I use a casting resin to cast and a doming resin for doming.
Casting resin is usually low in viscosity and works very well in molds without much issue with the bubbles. Also the low viscosity will allow the resin to reach detailed area of the mold. Doming resin is thick in viscosity and holds its shape very nicely. It creates a full dome and tends to hold the surface tension much better than low viscosity resin. So lower risk of the resin dripping off the sides. It also gives the piece a smooth, flawless finish.

thats for all the great information! do all of these apply to working with uv resin as well?
Yes absolutely. UV resin is a chemical as well and notorious for its strong odor
@@AmyMade I ordered some that says law oder & nothing on the packaging says anything about ppe
Low odor yes but you can still smell it. The odor gets stronger while it’s curing. Uv resin company usually never informs about safety. At the end of the day, It’s your choice to wear ppe or not.
@@AmyMade ordered a mask thing & goggles anyway just have to do small bits at a time
Great video, well done! I wear a 3M respirator like yours, nitrile gloves, and long sleeves. Another point you brought up is about the hardener. If you heat your resin to avoid bubbles, only heat the Part A (resin). Part B (hardener) is full of dangerous chemicals. You don't want to increase the fumes by heating it. Heat the resin, add the hardener, and mix. It is SO IMPORTANT for people to heed this advice. My first week or so with resin, I took NO precautions. I learned FAST! You covered all the important stuff. Thanks for the GREAT video!
how do i remove the bubbles from the mixed resin AND hardener compound when it starts bubbling once stirred? i am going to start resin art this week and i am a little scared when trying to make them look as flawless as i can possible do. i want to understand what is safe yet effective in improving the art of resin making
thanks for taking the time to inform us on resin safety Amy! people on tik tok never take precautions and that influences loads of people to make resin art in a very unsafe way.
Oh my. Tiktok is something I’ll never understand lol
Great information. I love your idea about the wet sand paper. Ill have to try it. Another thing I think thats important is not to work with resin in the same room as you sleep. You never know what lingers.
JBKonsCreations well I work with resin where I sleep. Unfortunately I don’t have a choice. And I’m sure many people don’t have the option to have a dedicated room to craft either. This is why i use the window fan and have it on while working with it and while it’s curing. Also I try to pour resin in the day time so by the time I go to sleep, the resin is cured to a solid state. But yes, it’s best to have a dedicated room for resin crafting.
AmyMade Yeah I know, It can be hard. I have a craft room now, thank goodness, but I used to craft in our dining room lol it wasnt such a good idea either...I accidentally ruined our dining table.😂
JBKonsCreations awww I ruined many things with resin too! I used to have a craft room but had to give it up when my son was born😭 I guess priorities, right? Lol
hey i have a question! Since i don’t have a window fan i don’t want to do it in my dining room or room since i don’t want to risk other family members. I was planing on doing outside would i be able to like leave it in a plastic box closed till it drys??
Yes you can
Hi there Amy. Dumping the leftover cured resign with our normal waste is the best option we have to get rid of them? Is there any other viable option for a somehow more ecological disposal of resin?
I'm afraid not. This is what all resin companies recommend.
Do I have to use a respirator mask if I use a fan and keep the door open? I do use a normal mask. Thanks in advance!
Victoria Rodriguez I still wear it with everything open and fan running. Id suggest reading the SDS of your resin
AmyMade According to the label it is not necessary, but I don’t trust it lol Wanted to ask an expert.
Victoria Rodriguez I mean...as mentioned in the video, better safe than sorry so if I were you, I would still wear it
hey amy, can i use a fabric masks?? you know?? ;-; these chemical masks are expensive, and I'm just getting started; -; I already bought things and the money ran out lmaaaaaaaaaaao (each "A" a tear )
The fabric mask won’t do anything. It would be better to just do it outside instead
Do you need a mask like that? What if I can’t afford it
Leilani Aranda I mean...it’s not required, it’s recommended. Even resin companies will say the same thing. You do whatever you want, I have no control over what you ultimately decide if you’re going to follow these precautions or not. I’m just here to spread the info for those who care about their safety.
AmyMade oh ok ty for the info
Thanks for this Amy. About to try UV resins and I have only seen two other people mentioning safety precautions. Your video is a real eye opener. Btw you are a brilliant artist. Everything you create is to a very high standard right down to the beautiful packaging, and of course, the quality of your videos. I will be trying to live up to those standards if I find resin crafting is for me. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!! I’ve been watch resin artist on TikTok and few to none wear gloves!
I'm still seeing it and it really concerns me how many think it's ok and get mad when you warm them
Thank you for doing this updated video! I have seen a influx of crafters jumping into resin and not knowing the dangers that are involved with it! I love using resin! Tfs
I have finally found your channel! Your voice was what triggered my memory and then came across your previous video when you changed channel names. Glad you're back and thank you for this video!💕 I have been looking into starting some resin crafts.
This is a public service video, seriously. Should be mandatory for any crafter. Thank you so much for this information!
When your hobby turns science
Very informative! I just started using uv resins, and have been keeping my window open... So chilly! I might have to wait till spring & summer lol
Omg just bought uv resins. I didn’t know this 😖 thanks for informing us!
I remember your videos from years ago :D. Because of it, I sand my pieces with water too.
Thank you for talking about this! It is a topic I I don’t hear much about.
i have a gas mask but can still smell the resin occasionally. I work outside the home for ventilation. Do you think the mask is defective or do you also smell the resin when you work?
That means your mask is not fitted properly. There should be an air tight seal between the mask and your face.
@@AmyMade Thank you for the quick reply. I will definitely fix that before working on my next project.
Thanks for the information! I'm getting into UV resin for the first time and it's a lot to wrap my head around. When do the fumes "go away"? (Like is it safe to bring back indoors once it's completely cured or sometime before?)
For uv resin, just work in a well ventilated space. Usually, uv resin is used in smaller amounts so just take that precaution and you should be fine.
i stopped wearing gloves when they hit $25 a box..
Frank B I hear you. It’s shocking how the prices are marked up now. This is why I reuse my nitrile gloves. I even opted for the nitrile coated work gloves during the beginning of the lockdown where I couldn’t find gloves anywhere
I tried making my first resin pour today however when I was cleaning i picked up the bottle without my gloves and got some on my hand inahve washed my hands a few times already and all of the resin is gone but why do my hands still smell??
I appreciate you making this video, Many UA-camrs arn't being safe when they use it!! and it just sucks for people wanting to get into it.
Thank you very much that was very 👏👏👏
Great video! This is really good for beginners!
Thank you for this video! What size mask do you wear? I’m not sure if I should buy small or medium 😥 would it be possible if you could tell me the measurements of the mask and your face (from nose to chin area). Sorry I know that’s such a weird request 😂😅 I’m just so worried I’ll buy the wrong size on Amazon. Thanks so much 💗
I have a small face so I wear small. I think you can return it if it doesn’t fit you on Amazon. 👍🏻
@@AmyMade ohhh I see, ok thank you 😊 I just got confused bc the link to the respirator in your description box shows a Medium sized one, and I have a small face too so I thought wait if she’s wearing Medium do I buy medium too? 🤔🤔🤔😥 lol. Thanks again 😊
@@AmyMade sorry one more question, do you use Particulate filters as well? Or just the 3M 6006 cartridges alone?
@@sonyablade554 oh I’m sorry it might be medium. I’m not home to check and measure the mask😔 but the one I’m using is the exact one linked and it fits perfect on me.
@@AmyMade that’s ok 😊 Thanks for all your help 💛💛💛💛
Do you have a video of how to clean resin? I want to make some gifts for my family and no one ever shows the cleaning process.
Clean resin? I’ve never seen anyone clean resin unless you mean by wiping off uncured resin. For uncured resin, you can use baby wipes and/or rubbing alcohol.
I’m glad you inform your subscribers, I and I’m sure others appreciate it a lot :) keep on going!
Hi Amymade, thanks for this video. Do you know if the resin is harmful for our neighbours or the people outside since we are pushing all the vapour/voc out the window?
It’s not. If it was, it wouldn’t be available for general purpose, craft use for the general public lol😆
My question is: If I was to use something like UV resin in a room that you can open the window, however, there's an ac unit not far from the open door, should I use the resin outside instead or be wary of when the ac unit turns on and make sure the window is wide open?
Question: Should I work outside if my room is right next to an ac unit/vent to the house or I'll be alright I just have to work when it's off?
Just use it with an open window
I'm thinking of making resin jewels and small crafts so, Can I do it on the balcony and shift them in as I stay with many people and my room have only one window?
That’s fine
I work with uv resin only, i thought because i didnt use a hardener they were safer, i cant use them outside because everything will harden the second i step out the door! Is uv resin just as toxic as two part resin?
You’re fine, just work in a well ventilated space. 👍🏻
I’m half way through the video and good information so far!
How can you get the UV resin fumes out of the air? What would you recommend?? Could I maybe use activated charcoal to combat the scent?
Same thing I’ve talked about in the video. Work in a well ventilated space with the air moving out of the space
@@AmyMade thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing these safety tips 😀
Thank you so much for this video
Great water sanding tip thank you
super helpful
I don't have a window fan and I can only work with resin in my bedroom with one window and a ceiling fan. Can that be considered as well ventilated room?
👍🏻 yes
@@AmyMade tysm for the fast reply. I was so worried and now I'm relieved 😊. Ty as well for all your tutorial.
I love all of this! Thank you!!!
Is it safe to do UV resin when you have others living in your apt?
Thank you and yes it’s safe to use any resin as long as you take safety precautions
which kind of filters for the organic vapour mask should we use
There’s a link to that info in the description box 👍🏻
@@AmyMade Oh thanks
Omggg you're Hmong!!!😍 The bracelet was a clue and wow your English is GREAT and work ofcourse.
Chao Vang I’m not a Hmong. My bracelet resembles my Japanese heritage and I was born in the United States
Is all this valid for uv resin too? Also how can I ventilate the room during winter?
For uv resin, work with gloves and well ventilated space. You ventilate the same way in the winter. You need the air to go outside. Some people who live in cold climate actually wait til it gets warmer. Unless you have a ventilation system installed in your home
@@AmyMade is it better if I work whit the mask on anyway ??
It’s not necessary or recommend unlike 2 part resin but you can wear it if it makes you feel better about it
can you making tutorial video about how to wearing and fit check respirator mask, i hope you can make it
It's best to follow the instructions that comes with the mask. But what I usually do is blow out air while wearing the mask, and if i feel the air is escaping out, it's not sealed/tight enough. So you need to adjust accordingly.
@@AmyMade i hope you can make the video
Amir Udin I probably won’t because there are different styles of respirators and It doesn’t make sense to me to make a video on something you can just read the instructions that come with the mask.
Thank you so so much for all the information ! I been wanting to get into resin but I was confused on what respirator to wear and the type of gloves.
What happens if your not able to access an respirator mask is their any other options?
Respirator mask for organic compounds is the only mask that will protect you from the VOCs, period.
@@AmyMade I dont think you understood my question I know what an respirator mask is for. My question was is their any other options for an mask.
Leah smith ???i don’t think I misunderstood your question. I said Respirator masks for organic vapors are the ONLY thing that can protect you from the VOCs. That means there are no other options for masks
I think that if you're not able to get the proper type of respirator, then your safest option is to stop using resin. Second best would be to work outside exclusively, and only bring your pieces inside when they are fully cured. It's something I've had to think about a lot since I can't wear a respirator at all.
Christina Marcrum absolutely. That would be the best recommendation but ultimately it’s the user’s choice to follow these precautions or not. All I can do is put the info out there in hopes that ppl will follow them.
