Quick Answer
To keep your Bone Ancient resin dice looking their best, clean them gently with mild soap and water, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a soft pouch or lined box away from direct sunlight.
Why Resin Dice Need Special Care
Resin dice are durable but can be sensitive to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. The Bone Ancient set features a tan, ancient-stone aesthetic that can be dulled by abrasive cleaners or prolonged sun exposure.
Unlike metal or acrylic dice, resin can cloud or yellow if exposed to certain solvents or UV light. Knowing how to clean and store them properly extends their life and keeps the intricate details visible.
What to Avoid with Resin Dice
Avoid using alcohol-based wipes, acetone, or any solvent that can break down the resin surface. Also, keep your dice away from direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can cause discoloration over time.
Extreme heat, like leaving dice in a car on a hot day, can warp or soften the resin. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and finish.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Prepare a Mild Cleaning Solution: Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a drop of mild dish soap. Avoid hot water, which can affect the resin, and never use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Check that the soap is free of dyes and fragrances to prevent residue.
- Gently Wash Each Die: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wipe each die individually. Pay attention to the crevices of the numbers, but do not scrub hard. Rinse with clean water immediately. If a die is heavily soiled, let it soak for a minute, but never use a brush with stiff bristles.
- Dry Thoroughly: Pat each die dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Let them air-dry on a towel for at least 30 minutes to ensure no moisture remains in the crevices. Moisture left in the numbers can cause clouding, so double-check before storing.
- Store in a Safe Container: Keep your dice in a soft pouch or a lined box, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing them loose with metal dice that could scratch the resin. Consider a dedicated dice bag with individual compartments to prevent rubbing.
- Handle with Clean Hands: Before a game, make sure your hands are clean and free of lotion or food oils. Oils can dull the finish over time and attract dust. Keep a small cloth in your dice bag to wipe off fingerprints after rolling.
