Hey there, crafters! I know we have all found ourselves in a sticky situation, literally, with resin everywhere – on your hands, clothes, or even your carpet (hey spills happen!). Well, fear not, for I bring you the ultimate guide to de-resin-ify your life! Let’s get un-sticky and get help to remove resin!
How to Remove Resin from Skin
The “Oops, My Hands Are Now a Work of Art” Situation: Got resin on your hands? Don’t panic! I’ve found the holy grail of products. Alumilite Amazing Resin Remover works like a charm! Just massage it in like you’re wooing your skin, and then wash with soap and water. Voila! Your hands are back to their pre-art project glory. This product also works great to clean your resin tools and mixing cups!
How to Remove Resin from Clothes
“My Favorite Shirt is Ruined!” Resin on clothes? First, I wouldn’t recommend wearing your favorite shirt when crafting (lesson learned). But if it’s too late, grab some isopropyl alcohol. Dab it on the resin until it realizes it’s not welcome. Wash the garment with hot water and pray to the laundry gods.
How to Remove Resin from Furniture
“My Table is Now a Resin Masterpiece” Scenario Resin on furniture? Grab acetone or nail polish remover (the one your sister never returned). Apply it to the resin, let it sit for a moment of silent contemplation, and then wipe it off gently with a soft cloth.
How to Remove Resin from Pets
“Help, I’ve Resin-ed My Cat!” Catastrophe (Please, be cautious!)
NOTE: Do NOT resin craft around pets! Keep them out of the crafting space altogether to avoid this CATastrope all together!
If your furry friend becomes a victim of your crafting escapades, DO NOT use chemicals. Instead, a little bit of coconut oil and a gentle comb should do the trick. And maybe apologize with some treats (and contact your vet to be on the safe side).
How to Remove Resin from Carpets
The “My Carpet is a Sticky Swamp” Episode For resin on the carpet, we have two options. If you’ve just spilled the resin and it hasn’t hardened yet hurry and grab the Alumilite Amazing Resin Remover! Add a few pumps of resin remover directly onto your spilled resin then start slowly scrapping it away. Run a vacuum over it and viola good as new!
If you didn’t catch your spill in time no problem, freeze it! Yes, you read that right. Put some ice in a plastic bag, lay it on the resin, wait for it to feel neglected and harden, then break it off gently. A vacuum cleaner will take care of the aftermath.
How to Remove Resin from Hair
“My Hair is in a Resin Bond” Predicament If your hair has bonded with resin, vegetable oil or peanut butter can be your best friends. Apply generously, wait, and gently comb out the resin. Worst case scenario, it’s a great excuse for that trendy haircut you’ve been considering.
How to Remove Resin from Wood
“I’ve just ruined my project” No need to fear! Grab a soft cloth – as fluffy as a cloud – and give it a good old dip in acetone. Gently rub the spot on your wood or concrete. Imagine you’re giving it a mini spa treatment, and who doesn’t love a bit of pampering? As the acetone works the sneaky epoxy will start loosening its grip. Use a knife or tool and start scraping away that pesky resin. Picture yourself as an archaeologist uncovering ancient treasures, but remember – we’re nurturing, not battling the wood or concrete. Careful now, let’s not turn this into a scratch fest!
How to Remove Resin from Mold
“Oh no its stuck” Over the past couple years I’ve found a few hacks on how to get resin out of a mold. Before you pour your resin, I would recommend using a mold release. Alumilite Mold Release and Conditioner has saved and revived all of my molds I use.
If you have already poured the resin, I would recommend letting it harden. Once hardened, it will pop right out. Then use soapy or warm water to get out any remnants.
When All Else Fails: Acceptance
Sometimes, you just have to accept that the resin is part of your life now. Embrace it! That spot on your jeans? A battle scar from your crafting journey. The tiny blob on your phone case? It’s a 3D art addition.
In conclusion, resin mishaps are just part of the creative process. Embrace the chaos, laugh at the mess, and remember: with a little bit of patience and some household items, you can overcome any sticky situation. Happy crafting and may the resin odds be ever in your favor! 🌟💫✨

As long as it hasn’t dried, you can use the resin remover we have in the store. It is safe for skin, clothes, carpet and furniture! If it has dried, they only way to get it off is to scrape it off.
Thanks!
How can I get resin off of my sink?
Removing resin from a sink can be tricky, but it’s possible with the right approach. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you clean it off without damaging your sink:
What You’ll Need:
Isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) or acetone
Plastic scraper or old credit card
Soft cloths or paper towels
Baking soda (optional, for stubborn spots)
Hot water
Gloves
Steps to Remove Resin:
Act Quickly (if uncured):
If the resin is still wet or tacky, wipe it off immediately using isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Dampen a cloth and gently scrub the area.
For Cured Resin (Hardened):
Soften the Resin: Soak a cloth in isopropyl alcohol or acetone and lay it over the resin for 20-30 minutes. This will soften the resin, making it easier to scrape off.
Scrape Gently: Use a plastic scraper or old credit card to carefully lift the softened resin. Avoid using metal scrapers, as they could scratch your sink.
Repeat as Needed: For thicker areas, repeat the process until the resin is fully removed.
Stubborn Residue:
Mix baking soda with a bit of water to form a paste. Gently scrub the area with a soft cloth to remove any remaining residue.
Rinse with hot water.
Final Cleaning:
Wipe the sink with warm soapy water to remove any leftover alcohol or acetone. Rinse thoroughly.
Tips to Avoid Damage:
Test First: Before using acetone or alcohol, test a small, inconspicuous area of the sink to ensure it won’t cause damage or discoloration.
Avoid Harsh Scrapers: Stick to plastic tools to prevent scratching.
Protect in the Future: Use disposable liners or silicone mats in your sink during resin projects.
