How Do I Care For My Resin Item?
So, you just purchased an item made of epoxy resin from my website! Congratulations! Here’s a few things to know about my resin so that you can keep it looking nice for a long time to come.
• Not Heat Resistant
Epoxy resin is not heat resistant, this means that leaving out in the sun on a really hot day, using it in the dishwasher or microwave, using it for very hot food, etc. can DEFORM, BEND, or even MELT your resin product. If your resin product does bend, you can place it on a flat surface in a cool area and gently bend it back into its original position. Allow to cool fully so it can re-harden.
• Hand-Wash Only
As stated previously, resin products cannot go into the dishwasher. Please hand wash your item gently with luke-warm water and gentle soap. I’ve found Dawn dish soap to work extremely well when cleaning resin products!
• Is it Food Grade?
No epoxy resin is technically food grade, especially since resin doesn’t like super hot things. However, I use non-toxic and non-yellowing resin on all of my pieces.
