The Do’s & Don’ts When Caring for Your Resin Charcuterie Boards or Artwork

✅ Do:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. After use, gently wipe your board or artwork with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Mild dish soap is okay—just be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.

  • Store in a cool, dry place. Resin can warp or become damaged in extreme temperatures or humidity. Keep your piece away from direct sunlight when not in use.

  • Use parchment paper or small dishes when serving food. While the resin is food-safe once fully cured, using a barrier protects both the art and your food from potential staining.

Don’t:

  • Do not cut directly on the resin. Resin is durable, but sharp knives can scratch or damage the surface over time.

  • Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on it. Excessive heat can soften or distort the resin. Always use trivets or protective layers.

  • Don’t soak or run under water. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the wooden base and loosen the bond between the wood and resin.

  • And most importantly, DO NOT put your board or artwork in the dishwasher.
