Resin Art Care and handling

To help you enjoy your resin artwork for years to come, please follow the care and safety guidelines below. Resin is a beautiful and durable medium, but it requires thoughtful handling to maintain its shine, clarity, and overall quality.

1. Safe Handling

Resin artworks may include crushed glass, crystals, stones, and textured elements.

  • These components can be sharp, so always wear protective gloves when handling, lifting, or moving your piece.

  • Avoid placing pressure on raised or textured areas.

2. Keep Away from Children

For safety reasons:

  • Resin artworks contain small decorative elements that may pose a choking hazard.

  • Keep your artwork out of reach of children and pets.

  • Do not allow kids to handle or play with resin pieces.

3. Cleaning Your Resin Artwork

To maintain the glossy finish and prevent scratches:

  • Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the surface.

  • For dusting, use a microfibre cloth.

  • Avoid using chemical-based cleaners, alcohol wipes, abrasive sponges, or scrubbing tools, as they can scratch or dull the resin surface.

4. Preventing Scratches & Damage

Resin surfaces can scratch easily if not cared for properly.

  • Avoid dragging objects across the artwork.

  • Do not stack resin pieces directly on top of each other without padding.

  • Use felt pads if placing decorative items on resin trays or coasters.

5. Sunlight & Heat Exposure

Most professional-grade resins are UV resistant, but no resin is 100% UV-proof.
To preserve colour vibrancy and clarity:

  • Avoid displaying your resin art in direct sunlight.

  • Prolonged exposure can lead to slight yellowing or fading of colours over time.

  • Keep artwork away from high-heat areas such as radiators, stovetops, or enclosed cars.

6. Storage & Transport

If you need to store or move your piece:

  • Wrap it in a soft cloth or bubble wrap, especially around textured areas.

  • Store flat to avoid warping.

  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the artwork.

7. Long-Term Care

With proper care, resin art can stay beautiful for many years.

  • Keep it clean, dry, and protected from extreme temperatures.
