I just wanted to share a way I keep my workbench clean and dust free including resin dust. I am a clean freak and I was looking for a way to get rid of every last speck. I bought the "Sticky Buddy" which is a reusable sticky roller made for brushing your dog, cat, etc. while removing loose hair when you dog is shedding. Now I will say that this thing doesn't exactly perform like on the commercial but it works great for my purpose of removing dust. another use I found for it is when I drop a part on the floor and can't find it I get out my jumbo roller w/ pole and just run it along the floor so when that is done you can look for your dropped part on the roller. I paid 20$ (shipping included) for the deluxe set which comes with 3 different rollers and an extension pole. This thing doesn't clean as easy as they say it does but I am overall happy with the purchase. I got mine off of ebay.

Unfortunately these things tend to run dry after a while.

You can get 'removable glue', aka the adhesive used for removable sticky notes, in either spray or stick form; apply that to the roller as needed.

...or a lint roller designed for clothing. Multiple sheets of masking tape type adhesive/material that you just rip off in approx. 4 inch sections to reveal another sheet below (great for convertibles as well). Usually found in places like Dollar Tree and other retail outlets.

That's what I have been using. Works great, added bonus that it helps clean up the floor. Target sells an "extra sticky" version that gives you a few more rolls with a sheet

I have read that the stickiness degrades over time. Once it has lost its stickiness I am going to brush on Woodland Scenics mat adhesive which is nice and tacky
