Hi guys, 
I am really new to all this and I was wondering how do you clean your equipment after resin infusion, for example  the metal connectors on the catching pot etc. I haven't started to use it but I don't want to get stuck after the first time! 
Thank you very much in advance.

If you push the hose in far enough there shouldnt be too much splatter on the inside of the lid.  Remember the hose passed right through the plastic fitting so that shouldnt get covered either.  I use vaseline around the seals anyway so no resin will stick to that.

Uncured resin can be cleaned off using acetone.

Infusion is generally quite clean if done carefully. everything is contained in the sealed system.

You shouldnt have too much resin build up on the mould flanges if its been cured properly.  the silicone feed and vacuum connectors you just pick the resin off by bending them slightly.

The only messy bit really is debagging when shards of resin go everywhere, but its cured resin so relatively easy to clear up.
