Been working with resin for years and finally someone is gracious enough to share the finishing process.

You are right to the point, no beating around the B******* bush, Iv’e looked at like 10 vids and they all did the same mistakes, no info on what they are doing or why, no description of materials for whatever reason or even show how to do the job. A video I watched before this one claimed to show how to polish resin, NOPE, legit just some guy talking about his rotary tool without using it. You showed everything required in stages, no cuts, how is that so difficult for those other fools, thank you so much!
I know this is an older video, I just wanted to thank you for it! So many of the sanding and polishing resin videos use power tools. I'm just a small-time crafter and this is exactly what I needed, so thank you!!
I saw another video on resin that had a very short polishing part, where they showed four separate numbers down in the corner, but didn't explain what they were for, and it was sped up. This is the FIRST video that lets me understand what the numbers were - it was the grit of the sandpaper. This is the first video I've found that clearly shows what to do and what products you use. Newbie here, so thank you so much for your help and clear instructions without ever saying anything.
OMG THANK YOU!!! This is exactly the issue I needed solved. thank you so much. They seem to keep getting tiny little fuzz particles in some of my resin coasters and I was trying to find a way to sand it down just a little bit and then polish it without having to add a whole another coat of epoxy. THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you so much for showing the entire process, albeit sped up. I bought a different plastic polish to fish some resin pieces that have imperfect surfaces and it didn’t seem to do diddly squat even with proper sanding. I’m going to try the turtle wax ones now!
Could you let me know how long you sand for or what you are looking for before you stop at each stage? Thanks for the video, I’m thinking a timer might be a useful addition. Please let me know. 👍
Hi I'm having this problem when I demoed the inner part is dual can I spray the mold with something shiny or spray the whole thing with an acrylic spray
Is it this specific brand of rubbing/polishing that works well with epoxy resin or can you use most kinds of rubbing/polishing compounds? Very new to this!
I'm making something for my wife out of epoxy resin, and I was wondering how long do you sand with one grit before moving on to the next grit? Also, would it be alright to start with 320 grit? Thank you!
You will know by each grit by seeing a consistant and distinctive sheen after using each grit. Remember its autobody paper so lets say 600 grit will be 600 stones per inch akd 800grit will be 800 stones per inch and so on.
Can this be done with any brand of epoxy resin? I'm gonna start a project with East Coast resin as it's the cheapest I can find in a gallon for my lamps I'll be making. Thanks for showing the actual polishing products you use!
Since the video is sped up a bit, I was curious as to how long you will sand each side for? Any specific length of time? Also, I'm curious about why you jumped from 240 up to 800. I always heard Polishing needed a Gradual Increase.
It’s all about the time you are willing to use and what you have at hand. Jumping steps only means you have to work twice as much with the next sandpaper.
This is really nice... is there a way to do it that is faster/not as labor intensive for hands/wrists? I have issues with the nerves in my hands and arms and don't know if I'd be able to do this :( can I use electric sander just as well?
Of course you can use tools instead, and depending on where you start, you might need to only use the last steps of sanding. If you have deeper cuts you want to remove entirely, you need to start from the bottom with the coarsest sandpaper first, that saves time. Then work your way up to the finest. I use polishing paste instead of turtle wax, you get them in different grids and most importantly it leaves no residue so I can glue bits together afterwards and it will stick.
It seems that making them by hand does not achieve a certain level of smoothness, there are still quite a few scratches that we can see in the backlit position. But nonetheless it is quite good without supportive devices!
Hi, I used Turtle Wax Polishing Compound on a piece of resin. I applied it with Dremel and my results are not what I expected. My piece is now cloudy. It was shiny and clear when I started. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Using a Drexel to speed up the process is not really a good idea - this guy never used one and got those results. I know because I tried using a Dremel to polish a digital watch plastic display. Never really became glass clear and had concave pits. The key to this process is understanding that one is turning mountains into molehills in a uniform manner on the surface one is polishing. That being said, it’s GO BIG, go manual or go home
Use a shiny mold vs a matte one. If the silicone on the inside is shiny then the whole piece will come out shiny and all of this is completely unnecessary. If the inside of the mold is matte/no shine then it will come out dull like this and require sanding/polishing. Usually molds come shiny by default and only get dull over time
If I don't have the rubbing compound can I still achieve your results using just the polishing compound after the sanding? Thanks for this video, I tried without success using 80, 120, 320 dry and 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000 wet and polishing compound. Did not use soap and considerably less water. I will be giving your method a try without the rubbing compound due to being quarantined.

THANK YOU!!!
So we just can't use turtle wax only..we have to go through the process?

It didn't work for me kind of disappointed
There's full description on this video
@@HFDay-qi6yc you can always try to brush a verry thin coat of the same epoxy on it

SAME.
Thank you... one of the best and clearest videos on the topic... no bs, no babble, no ‘you have to have this powertool’ nonsense. Cheers!

First video I have found that actually helped me figure out how to sand and polish my pieces. Thank you!
Just a warning that it’s a good idea to dip your resin item in water while sanding because the dust isn’t good to breathe in!
Thats why I where a repitory breather its just sare I do the same when I work with rewind 3d printing
Thanks for the tip!

I guess now it’s time for you to take a nap. Thanks for sharing. Good info
🙏🙏👍👍👍
yay finally a solution to have true clear resin
Could you let me know how long you sand for or what you are looking for before you stop at each stage? Thanks for the video, I’m thinking a timer might be a useful addition. Please let me know. 👍
Thank you for sharing such a simple guide in polishing resin into like a glass you are truly helpful and wonderful ^^
U are welcome
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Can you also use this process with bigger resin products like for lamp resin when you don't have the machine?
Good on you man! That is a lot of work!
I have all the grits and the rubbing compound except for the last polishing compound, will it still be clear or shiny if I don't use the last one?
I use a buff on perspex as is melts the surface slightly but metal polish is really good too!
I don’t know much but is it necessary to use different kinds of sandpaper? or is that optional. Also what kind of polish to I use ?
Akhirnya nemu juga tutorial yang ngga pake mesin, thx video nya bang, sangat bermanfaat.
siapp
Really Amazing work. Just wondering, How do you know that now it's time to change the grit??
will it be crystal clear at the end? like when the resin dries and its as clear as that?
after sanding and everything what would happen if you were to spray it with clear coat? instead of using the turtle wax and polishing compound?
Could you use this method to polish a scratched plastic crystal on a swatch watch?
Thank you! Couldn't figure out which polish to get!
Amazing job 💞 thanks for the advices
What grit are you using for both sand papers?
Thanks. It is a very helpful video for beginners like me
Hi I'm having this problem when I demoed the inner part is dual can I spray the mold with something shiny or spray the whole thing with an acrylic spray

Any metal polish can be used
Thanks for this informative video..But have you used sand paper for rubbing?
Gracias!! 😊 Saludos desde Monterrey Nuevo León México!..🤗
Hola
Is there a particular type of cloth you are using to rub the turtle wax in? or is that just simple microfiber cloth?
Very Good. I always seen when they hurry or yack too much. I just love how you have done it. Thank You
Awesome! Thanks for the video!
do you have to do anything else to where as a pendant?
Can this be done with any brand of epoxy resin? I'm gonna start a project with East Coast resin as it's the cheapest I can find in a gallon for my lamps I'll be making. Thanks for showing the actual polishing products you use!
This can be done with almost anything. It works with metal, plastics, paint and also printed stuff. This is a common method to get a mirror shine.
What does the P stand for in P1000 grit? Is it a specific type of abrasive paper I need? Thanks for the video!

Super useful thanks a-lot. This solved my issue with foggy lenses on my Binoculars…
Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 🎉.
Rapaz, isso dá trabalho, mas o resultado é muito bom. Parabéns.
I tried by sanding from 150 grit to 7000 grit with machine. But still cloudy 😢. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
So helpful!
Anyway, can I replace the C800 ? So difficult to find it in my country. What is your suggestion? Thank you..

and what u do with a comlex figure?
How long does it last?
Excuse me, what is the function of each of the 2 products you use?
does it work for color epoxy resin?
Gracias muy bonito te queda👍
Wow thats awesome but definitely a process
could you use the turtle wax ect after using a dremol 300 sander or do you have to use your sanding technique for this result
i tried this , the wax actually dulls the shine
I usually wet sand up to 1500 grit then start polishing
Wonderful job. But curious to know that Why did your resin piece become so cloudy??
Can I use 150; 220; 320; 400; 600; 1000; sandpaper?? Please reply 🙏🏻

True, and p1500 and p 2000 also exist
It’s all about the time you are willing to use and what you have at hand. Jumping steps only means you have to work twice as much with the next sandpaper.
Thank you for pinning what you use in this process 🙏💜💜
How did you make that resin square?

Cuantos minutos empleas en pulir la pieza por favor? Para que te de ese brillo?. Gracias
I have seen a lot of polishing videos for resin, only this one is helpful for me, availble tools and simple way thanks
🙏🙏🙏👍
Can you do this with other shapes?
Is the soap useful??

Acho que sim
So, polishing compound???
For a long time I have regrets that I ruined my acrylic project and did not know it can be repaired. Thanks for showing how.
Can I shorten the process and just use 1000 sand paper?
Wow good amazing 👏
Is there anyway to achieve this clear effect while remaining the raw textures on the resin?
Use a shiny mold vs a matte one. If the silicone on the inside is shiny then the whole piece will come out shiny and all of this is completely unnecessary. If the inside of the mold is matte/no shine then it will come out dull like this and require sanding/polishing. Usually molds come shiny by default and only get dull over time
Would this work if you used only the polishing compound? Or must you use the rubbing compound first?
HE LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT TO YOU? Y WOULD HE NOT DO THT WAY IF IT WAS POSSIBLE
I dunno. You sound like an idiot... yet you still leave comments!
Ow
If I don't have the rubbing compound can I still achieve your results using just the polishing compound after the sanding? Thanks for this video, I tried without success using 80, 120, 320 dry and 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000 wet and polishing compound. Did not use soap and considerably less water.
