❗❗Hello! For anyone who is watching this video, I've missed out a VERY important point as to why non toxic resin is actually still pretty toxic. And here's why: Part A of your resin is actually resin itself, Part B of your resin is actually a hardener. Both parts CAN be non-toxic if a company decides to put in proper research when manufacturing them BUT as you mix Part A and Part B together thats when it will produce toxic chemicals into your surroundings. X hope this video helps you ❤
@@khansis1532 hello, I do wear mask and gloves. My room is ventilated with doors and windows open and fan but I was doing it in my living space which is highly advised not to :) .
I actually bought one that says none toxic and it's one solution. I don't use a mask or gloves😭I will now every time even though I only use small amounts to put the metal posts on my stud earrings.
I'm still not sure it was the resin that caused your allergic reaction. Did you remain gloved the entire time you worked with it? Did you clean up all smears and spills? Did you leave any unfinished cured projects around or accidentally touch one of your opened bottles without gloves on? The thing about allergic reactions is they take place almost instantly after you've come in contact with them. It doesn't make since that you would have an allergic reaction months later.
Thanks to so many people online talking about the dangers of resin, I made sure to gradually buy all of the safety gear needed to start. I do all of my resin projects outside on my front porch (with a mask that filters harmful vapors as well as other safety gear) because I worry about my health and my cat's tiny lungs. Thank you for spreading the word and keeping everyone safe!
Good to hear that you’re taking precautions !! Many people are doing resin without thinking that there will be any any effects so I’m glad you did your research first! Nice to know that you’re thinking for you cat too hehe.
Thanks for making this. I recently created a few objects for the first time using resin, and got a rash right away. Once cured the objects are fine to use. Moving on to other less toxic crafts.
Lorraine: Hi Ayyriel Thank you so much for putting out this very honest video about epoxy resin. I'm grateful that I saw your video and others before I actually started to use it. Then the next day I returned this product to the store. It should be a video that scares people because only then will they realize that it's not a good idea at all to be using very dangerous toxins unless one absolutely has all the protective gear. Even then, I'm not so sure that I would use it after seeing the results of what has happened to people after using it. Thank you so much again for your very informative video!
Thank you 🙏 so much I have been doing resin for just over a year, I’m thinking of starting a channel myself and with your permission I would like to link this video to my channel as I feel your video has a beautiful honesty about something very important and real it is toxic and anyone working with it should pay attention to what you have to say thank you again
Wow go ahead! ☺️ glad you found this video helpful and yes we should always be aware of what we r exposing ourselves to and know how to take precautions!
Oh my God I am happy that I have a room for only my crafts and resin work and it well ventilated area and thank you for your suggestions I really love your video 🥰
I am a resin beginner and only plan to use it for a very specific project (casting flowers from my son's wedding). Before hearing all the warnings, I was considering possibly selling but the risks just seem too great. I have a propensity for skin allergies already, so using resin sounds like eventually it may not be a great idea for me in the long term. Thank you for all the useful information.
Thank you for sharing all that informarion, I recently started with resin and got a pretty bad alergy because of it, I wish i was able to see this before I started.
Most reputable crafters do actually say to do as they do, and wear a respirator & gloves and have proper ventilation. Some resin does not smell, and is listed as non-toxic but you should always treat it as toxic as our skin is absorbent. I suffer from psoriasis so I can appreciate what she is saying here - the itching is maddening.
Thank you for sharing. This is lovely of you to share health concerns with the public. I love resin/epoxy too; but I will be far more cautious and continue working on my projects inside my garage or if I'm inside the house with proper ventilations. Blessings to you!
I also have that rashes and allergies, I thought allergies are from cold weather,. got medicines with steroids but it didnt work. Then i realized its from resin because i never have this rashes before.
Im new to resin and the first thing I did was ordering all the safety things I need such as goggles and mask with more protection just in case, right now im just trying to find a way for ventilation
Thank you for the video to tell people how resin can danger people's health. May i ask how you heal by those rashes or bumps? How long it took for the bumps went away? I found many people talked about how danger it is but no one talk about how they get healed? Do you take medicine or the bumps and rashes went away itself?
I know :( I love doing resin but after knowing more and I realised how my body was having a bad reaction, I got scared D: Nonetheless, if you really want to start one I hope you manage to find a suitable environment to do it ^^
Also it's not really the cash cow business people make it out to be, and you spend more time advertising your products then actually making them. Also customers are spooked by resin products because of videos (kind of like this one) and Making sales is no easy task.
@@syzygy4365 resin products are fine when it’s cured. Almost everything you see and touch in your daily life can be made out of resin. It’s the process of making resin that can be harmful to the *maker* unless like I said, with proper care and knowledge you are safe to do it :)
I have done some resin work, and I have quite a few molds. I haven't done it more than once or twice since they changed my balcony door and I got my cat. I am on the seventh floor in a small efficiency apartment with a small balcony, and the new door has no screen. I can't risk my cat getting out on a seventh floor balcony, so I can't open the door without locking my cat in the bathroom or his cage. I can't lock him up for very long at any given time...so, I have not really been able to do anything. Also, nothing in this apartment is level. I have quite a few molds, and I want to get back into making things with the molds, but I am looking for substitutes for resin that will come out hard and not brittle or crumbling. I am thinking about cement or concrete as one option, but I can't figure out what is the best kind to use for molds. I want it as white as possible, and I want something that already has all the necessary components in it, to harden and hold it together. There may also be other options. I guess plaster of Paris might works, but it strikes me as being rather brittle and crumbly when it it dry. Maybe an additive like glue will help, though. I don't know which would be the right kind, though. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to try this but not now. you are the second one I seen talk about it did something bad to you. I live in a one bedroom apartment. So not good for me. Ty for sharing.
No problem ☺️ if you really want to try maybe can see if your area of residence has any resin workshop that you could go to so at least you can have the experience in trying out resin
I wanna start epoxy resin work , if i have the professional mask protection and gloves still can hurt me? and it s it okay to make it out in my garden?
Hii thank you for sharing. I just wanted to ask can I use a surgical mask when I work with small amounts of resin. I used two masks each time and I used resin four times. I didn’t get an allergic reaction, I’m too scared to use resin now. Is it ok if I keep on using a surgical mask when using resin?
Hey there! I doubt it will give you any pigmentation as pigmentation occurs only when you’re under the sun. Allergic reaction such as rashes and swelling can appear on the face. Take care!
Hi, I was doing my resin craft in a room with exhaust fan but no window but I have an electric fan . I'am wearing ordinary mask and gas mask.Is it still dangerous?
using both exhaust fan and electric fan is good! But I cant be too sure if the ventilation is enough. Do you use resin for small works or big? Gas mask is perfect, regular mask (fabric/surgical/N95...) won't help!
@Ayyriel C Hi, I was just making dog name tags. Yes I was using gas mask and wearing long sleeves, vinyl gloves.btw thank you for answering my question.
What respirator fits your face well? I'm Asian also and my face structure is similar to yours. I see a lot of respirator reviews done by white people which isn't too helpful for me since my face shape is really different from theirs.
You are too beautiful to not do epoxy resin molding. Please don’t stop making content I don’t know what I and the community will do without your expertise and beauty. Did you get rashes anywhere else if so can we see pictures? Thank you for your beauty

@@ayyriel.c What if it is in a art studio?
You can have an allergy test done. Talk to your doctor about the risks before you start.

Is it ok if we do the resin outdoors?..
Hey is it safe to make resin stuff in terrace?
Thanks for this :)

As someone under 13, i think i shouldn't use resin at this point..
I just bought a kit 😭
I wanna start epoxy resin work , if i have the professional mask protection and gloves still can hurt me? and it s it okay to make it out in my garden?
Thanks for sharing, do this reply to uv resin?
Yes, all resins are toxic even if they say "non-toxic" please do your research for all resins.
@@lexigaede009 can you please tell this lady that she is spreading false information

I’ve used UV resin in a spare room and got lightheaded from it
My eyes got swollen and dry patchy skin after a few months of working with it.
Hii thank you for sharing. I just wanted to ask can I use a surgical mask when I work with small amounts of resin. I used two masks each time and I used resin four times. I didn’t get an allergic reaction, I’m too scared to use resin now. Is it ok if I keep on using a surgical mask when using resin?
Hello! Surgical mask is really not advisable because it can’t filter out the particles of resin.
Thank youuu
Just wanna know can it effect face also like pigmentation and all??
Hey there! I doubt it will give you any pigmentation as pigmentation occurs only when you’re under the sun. Allergic reaction such as rashes and swelling can appear on the face. Take care!
Do you need respirator if you are doing just small amount of resin? Like resin jewelry making.
Yes. There was a woman who did a quick 5 minute craft and wound up in the hospital with epoxy poisoning.
@@bumplebees well, then I'm not protecting myself enough. Thank you for your response.
@@bumplebees Yes!!! Thanks for mentioning this story. I found it:

Can i leave my resin inside while curing?
Try not to let it cure in your bedroom!
@@ayyriel.c where would the best place to leave the resin while its curing?
No, it needs to be sealed in an airtight chamber like a pressure pot or a well ventilated area with your airflow still moving
