Before mixing
Prepare PPE, ventilation, scale, containers and a clean work area.
Workshop safety
Resin safety
Epoxy work is easier to control when safety is treated as part of the process: protect skin, control ventilation, follow the TDS/SDS and plan the pour to avoid overheating.
Protect skin and eyes
- Use nitrile gloves and change them when contaminated.
- Wear eye protection when mixing, pouring or sanding cured resin.
- Avoid bare-skin contact with uncured resin and hardener.
Ventilation and dust
Work in a ventilated area and follow the SDS for respiratory protection. Sanding cured resin creates dust, so extraction and a suitable mask matter.
Control exotherm
Do not exceed the manufacturer layer limit. Large masses of mixed resin can heat quickly, yellow, crack or damage the mold.
TDS and SDS come first
The calculator supports planning, but the technical and safety data sheets for the selected product remain the primary source.
During pour
Keep the batch size, layer thickness and timing under control.
After cure
Treat sanding dust as a separate safety topic.
