[Safe for kids?]

So my 10 year old daughter is really into crafts and her new obsession is resin jewelry making. She hasn’t been doing it long. She started out with a two part epoxy and now we realized that a uv resin that cures under a light is much easier. My daughter is a little messy and still learning. She has a craft area setup in our basement, which is not well ventilated. Is this a problem? Should she be wearing a mask? I don’t smell anything from it but after reading a bit I am concerned the fumes could be harmful to her. Please advise.

Hi,

In general two-part epoxy resin isn’t something I recommend for children. They generally don’t have the mindfulness to handle chemicals safely.

I’ve got more safety articles here to help guide the two of you on resin safety: https://www.resinobsession.com/tag/safety/
