Resin Care Guide

TOP TIPS FOR LOOKING AFTER YOUR HANDCRAFTED RESIN ITEMS:

To look after your pieces (made from food safe resin), wash in warm, not hot, soapy water.

Don’t use an abrasive cloth or sponge. Don’t leave to soak. Resin is not dishwasher or microwave safe.

Most resins are heat resistant up to 90 C, very hot cups or mugs may leave an indent on coasters, but sometimes they can easily be fixed by running under hot water for 20 seconds and leaving on a flat surface to dry.

Keep your resin products away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as this can cause the piece to discolour or soften.

It is completely normal for colours to fade and clear resin to ‘yellow’ slightly over time.

Avoid bumping or scratching your resin pieces.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, cleaning products, nail polish remover and hand sanitiser directly on your pieces, as these may damage them.

If your resin piece loses its lustre, you can polish it gently with a food safe oil to bring back the shine.
