RANK AMATEURS OF THE MODEL RAILROAD FORM MEMBER
That's an awesome set up! I like that 1/4 scale range guard! Maybe get some playtex gloves? Do they still make those?You are correct. Apologies for the confusion.
Resin just needs proper care. It's easy to develop skin sensitivity to it. I've got a spot on my right wrist that acts up if I'm exposed to contact with it.
Normally, it's mostly the IPA (Alcohol) that we rinse the 3D resin models in that have the worst effects. That spot on my wrist developed sensitivity because my Nitrile gloves didn't cover the wrist where my arm would touch the top of the rinse vat.
Here's my resin set up. The black Wedge attached to the hose is a vent hood. The white hose drops down to behind the resin printer. That one does NOT have vent on it, so I keep the vent hose close to the pinter.
To the left of the printer is the three part rinse station. Prints get dropped into the small container front left. It has an internal basket. Swish that around to remove the majority of the resin on the model. Then into the metal basket (left of the tall white tub), Prints go into the tall white tube, which has an impeller in the bottom, and that circulates the IPA for 2.5 minutes.
After that, the basket of prints is removed. I dump them into the short white tub to the far left, which is full of HOT water from the kettle. Let them sit in that for 2-3 minutes to soften the supports for easier removal. Then onto the paper towels to dry. Once dry they go into the UV Light chamber (yellow hood). 2 minutes exposed to UV cures any residual surface resin that might not have totally cured during the printing.

Oh, and the short tub next to the printer (with the purple lid) is where I place the build plate after removing the models from it. That tub, too, has IPA. While the prints are rinsing in the big tub, I use paper towels to clean excess resin from the build plate, before remounting it in the print.
Yeah, I don't have the space for a resin printer. Maybe after I kick the kids out...
