Please, use adequate ventilation (with a heat exchanger if you need to keep A/C in the room) if you're going to be resin printing inside. I don't want to see all of you guys get cancer from this hobby.

Fuck this video. Dude claims it’s killing you and offers zero reason as to why or how. Pure clickbait bullshit here folks

It really helps freshen up the sauna if you got a bad smoke draft. Just removes the smoke smell immediately. If you pour the mix on the hot furnace you are golden
