Editing Instructions:Ecopoxy Workstation (section)

=== Workspace preparation ===
It’s important to protect the workspace before you start. Dust can affect your project, as can non-level work surfaces. Additionally, dried epoxy will damage the work surface over time.

Currently, it is not possible to level any of the workbenches at North Forge but they will be levelled shortly. It’s a good idea to check the surface with a level before starting. If the bench is not level, you may decide to use shims underneath your mould.

Silicone mats are available for small projects. For larger projects or if there is a risk of dripping (shaky hands, natural human messiness) you can also cover the workbench with plastic wrap.

If you get epoxy on the work surface, do not panic. Either use isopropyl alcohol to clean it immediately, or if it has dried you can  use a chisel to carefully scrape it with the blade nearly parallel to the table.

====Cleaning - Isopropyl Alcohol====
Epoxy can be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol. Do note that isopropyl alcohol will irritate your skin and eyes, and can ruin your project if you spill. For that reason, if epoxy spills on the outside of your mould, it’s best to let it dry and carefully remove it when done. How can you get it off if you spill on the outside of the HDPE moulds? Not OK to use chisels, can you bang or flex the mold slightly to remove?
