I'm planning to start making resin dice using clear epoxy resin, glitter, mica powder, and resin ink. I've already made a shopping list (respirator, heat gun, mixing supplies, gloves, etc.) and watched quite a few tutorials, so I have a general idea of the process.
However, when I asked one of my friends for advice, they warned me to be very careful about the chemical reactions involved, especially when it comes to disposing of leftover resin. They made it sound pretty dangerous, and now I'm honestly a bit nervous.
On the other hand, I also asked someone who has been making resin dice for a while, and they told me it's not a big deal as long as you're careful and follow basic safety precautions.
So now I'm not sure what to believe.
Is working with epoxy resin really that dangerous? Are there any common mistakes that beginners make or things I absolutely should or shouldn't do?
I want to make the dice for my player in my dnd campaign.
Thank you.
