solution:
• safety goggles

3.1.1
Preparing the Alkaline Cleaning Solution
Always add caustic soda to water. Never pour water onto caustic soda. Mixing it
with water generates heat that could ignite other materials. See DOC-08380,
"Working with Alkaline Cleaning Solution".
3.2 Waste Disposal
Fully cured models present no special safety or health-related issues. However,
check if local regulations regard cured and partially cured resins as hazardous
industrial waste, and comply with all applicable regulations governing their
disposal.
Dispose of the alkaline cleaning solution according to local regulations.
