How to make your resin crafts like a glass clear

[@sandyclements5315]

Been working with resin for years and finally someone is gracious enough to share the finishing process. THANKS - I typed out the steps with items you need to pick up: AA 150 sandpaper 240 sandpaper C 800 grit sandpaper wet with water and dish soap P 1000 grit sandpaper wet with water and dish soap Turtle Wax Rubbing compound Turtle Wax Polishing compound

[@kili5562]

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!!

[@TigressCalliope]

SAME.

[@jackiehall4181]

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!

[@lennerttemmerman]

Thats why I where a repitory breather its just sare I do the same when I work with rewind 3d printing

[@FakeGilderGames]

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 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.

[@makkanan]

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!

[@korysmith6513]

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!

[@neethalingam1956]

Wonderful job. But curious to know that Why did your resin piece become so cloudy??

[@sidhubanerjee1990]

Thanks. It is a very helpful video for beginners like me

[@WoodWorkingArtCraft]

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!

[@kaitlinreichert606]

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!

[@dragan3290]

You can start with any grit just make sure you don't take too much off. Nice up with wet and dry sandpaper up to 1000grit and over. I like to go up to 3000grit and over.

[@alejoforero6552]

Esto podría resultar para el visor de un casco? Pregunto porque parece ser el mismo material Buen video!

[@ChristmasEve777]

That seemed like too much work. I wouldn't want to do all that for EVERY clear piece I make.

[@paulweston8184]

If you want to turn a rough piece to a smooth clear piece you gotta sand. I have seen a youtube thumbnail that shows someone waving a magic wand but I think it's just clickbait. Did you have an alternative method? Better yet, just go pay someone to do it and stop looking at DIY clips. You look tired already.

[@teekotrain6845]

You don't have to. Just go straight to the thousand grit do that for a few minutes and then finish with the rubbing compound and polish

[@RichieD_21]

Using power tools would make the job go much quicker

[@sirdusti]

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!

[@joseramoncamejosilva6099]

P

[@brycer985]

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.

[@777sgiles]

I’d recommend using the Drexel tool sander if you have arthritis like I do. Thanks for your videos!

[@dswatik99]

how does a dremel make it looks shiny though?i use it to sand where i have mistakes but it doesnt leave it shiny and clear

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?

[@sandcastle2069]

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.

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.

[@jacobmontes2330]

Same here did you figure it out?

[@asakayosapro]

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

[@mn_cldhiguera4794]

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 ?

[@trooperg1234]

I don't know, man. It took well over 7:25 minutes to clear shine a piece of resin that size. If that is what it takes to do that, and i am sure much longer. I need some power tools.

[@khione8044]

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.

[@reconnectdoo3194]

True, and p1500 and p 2000 also exist

[@sandcastle2069]

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.

[@meowanderson2189]

Great example of concept... for printing block crafts, still an amazing result though!
