How to Sand and Polish Epoxy Resin to a Glass Finish

Today, I will show you how to sand and polish epoxy resin to a glass finish. Having a resin project is nice, but having a resin art project that has a crystal clear glass finish is satisfying when you know how to make it happen. I show you how to dry sand, wet sand, use abrasive paste, and buff your resin lathe projects to a crystal clear, shiny finish. I hope you enjoyed the video!

@ 4:50 I saw a really great idea for that on Alec Steele's channel. Will Stelter shared his technique of using @ 1-2cm wide strips of sanding paper backed with duck tape to extend the life of it. It would work really well, here, too, I imagine. It's almost like super big dental floss that way.

[@augieb7470]

Hey Jake! DOUG suggested we come learn some of your techniques for sanding and polishing resin. I use the micro sanding pads on my small stuff like acrylic pens and bottle stoppers. One thing I learned when I used to do body and paint, while wet sanding a panel I’d use a few drops of dish soap in my sanding water. It breaks the surface tension and the water stays with the project and doesn’t dry out as fast. Give it a try and see what you think. Thanks for sharing!

[@JakeThompson]

Thanks for the tip Augie.. I’m glad you come by for a look.. I hope you enjoy the videos. 👍👍👊

[@JoelAlbert1]

Wondering why you don’t Wet Sand with the Abranet? It works really well and reduces the dust…. Also, why DNA between grits when wet sanding? Doesn’t the water wash off the dust? Thanks for such a great video!

[@JakeThompson]

After I made this video I started to wet sand with abranet. Water will work between grits but I like to do it to be sure to get all the old grit off, and it looks awesome and you get to see what it’s going to look like.. but either will work.. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 👍👍

[@stanley6602]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. At the beginning of the video. The camera focus on the background, the object on the lathe looks fuzzy. Maybe you can improve it in the next video.

That mesh sandpaper you use - I’d not heard of it before (except a similar product I use when sanding sheetrock mud).Brilliant!

[@tonyajackson0960]

I really learned a lot from your video. I just wish you could suggest what other appliance or way to sand and polish if we don’t have access to the type of machines you have. I was excited but kinda got discouraged. If you have any suggestions what we can use if we don’t have those machines. I’ve got grinders, sanders, multi tool, Dremel, Diamond sanding pads, etc. I need the polishes, and compounds. Please let me know any suggestions you’ve got. Thank you

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad you were excited at first. Lol this all can be done by hand or random orbital sanders or the other tools you mentioned. You can put small buffing wheels on a drill and buff that way.. I have shown that on a few on my more recent videos.. I have done flat projects with an orbital sander and then wet sand by hand .. it came out pretty well.. I hope I helped you. Jake

[@JZ-xu3vg]

you seem to know alot about epoxy. What exactly is it molecular/biochemical/plastic, and how dangerous is it to touch/ breath in dust on a scale of 1 to 10? what type of grit do you like for epoxy? aluminum oxide? zirconia? ceramic? I'm guessing you are using aluminum but id rather not guess.

[@JakeThompson]

I normally use a respirator when I’m sanding resin. I like using the abranet paper.. it’s netted and can be blown out and used longer than paper that clogs up..

[@iaidoman]

I hated Total Boat, had too many bubbles and a slight yellow tinge. Best resin ever IMO is Pourable Plastic clear casting resin. Also, save yourself money and get an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner to get bubbles out of resin instead of buying an expensive pressure machine.

Too late.. already have the pressure pots.. lol

[@bernardthongvanh5613]

why use polishing paste? and not just use finer and finer sand paper? (I don't know anything about polishing)

There’s a thousand ways to do stuff.. you can sand to thousands and thousands of the grits.. I chose to do it this way and the results are clear.. it works for me pretty well

@@JakeThompson Actually I found that with resin, you can buy "Fullers Earth" for that is all Yorkshire grit basically is, on Ebay and just make your own paste with a little water. It works just as well and you can also buy different grades for different grit equivalents. Won't work on wood because it soaks up the water so you need some sort of oily base such as Yorkshire Grit has. Keep up the good work.

I loved this video. It helped a lot. I have a few questions. First the Yorksire grit that you used, is there another brand you recommend that is good? Second if you dont have a machine like you have to hold onto the buffer wheels and the item your working on, does using a drill with the attachment work just as good? Third have you ever used Incredible Solutions or used Naked Fusion for your projects. I am trying to figure which i should go with or go with the one you use. I do some big projects (tables etc.), some medium sized (cutting boards, wall art etc.) and some small (coasters, jewlery etc.)if that helps with the recomendation. Lastly I was wondering how you go about getting your items to sell when you first started. I have a digital store and not really a place to sell out of. Do you have any suggetions for someone trying to sell their work? (if this is to forward you can private message me) Thank you for the cool video :)

Absolutely. You can do it by hand.. it’s the same steps.

@@JakeThompson thank you for the info

[@williamyeager8639]

Did anyone else notice his hoses for his dust collection system are backwards?

[@JakeThompson]

They are not.. look again

[@williamyeager8639]

You are right. After you moved it, it looked like the were switched. By the way I have watched a lot of your videos and appreciate your hard work.

[@JakeThompson]

@@williamyeager8639 awesome.. I’m glad you enjoy the videos.. a while back someone commented about the hoses.. I had to look twice too lol

[@kevinbritting4554]

Hey, thanks for spending the time to explain the process and the expectation in a result as you work. As a carpenter for over 20 years that is now taking resin art seriously, I really appreciate the detail you put into teaching us your methods without discounting other ways to do things. It helps me keep a broad scope of ideas in working different surfaces/sizes/shapes. Thank you! Do you have an email I can send specific detailed questions about my own projects?

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you for watching Kevin!! Instagram or Facebook messenger are probably the best way to get ahold of me. 👍

[@julieharris47]

Unfortunately I don’t have a lathe, but use resin a lot for jewellery projects, is there a way to clean and polish resin for small projects, please

[@JakeThompson]

Julie Harris The same principals apply to any size of project.. there are buffing pads for dremel tools .. sandpaper.. or you just have to do it by hand.

[@jamesherron9558]

Are you using wood glass or metal compounds I don't have a lath to work with

[@JakeThompson]

I’m using the compounds that come with this system amzn.to/3C9XUnR

[@jamesherron9558]

@@JakeThompson what was the past compound

[@JakeThompson]

@@jamesherron9558 Yorkshire Grit abrasive paste

[@cjmproduction]

This is dumb, all you have to do is set your lathe to very low RPM, and run a propane torch with flame spreader across the surface.

[@JakeThompson]

cjmproduction You should put out a video showing everyone how to do your “not dumb” technique.

[@jpwoodwork]

Nice sanding video..... you really need Carl Jacobson to teach you his sanding song! Make it a lot more fun for you 😂😂

[@JakeThompson]

jp woodwork I can’t wait to hear the song!! Maybe I will ask him to sing it for me. 😂😂

Are they egg shapes? 😏🙀😰😰

Now your back is gonna hurt. You just pulled landscaping duty.

55chevy327 Haha!! I knew you would like that!!

[@bigeasy_f150]

what is the wax compound you use. i cant find anything in a search

[@JakeThompson]

The Yorkshire grit is sold here www.northsidecustomcrafts.com/new-products

[@bigeasy_f150]

@Jake Thompson I'm taking about the gold colored bar you used after the white bar

[@JakeThompson]

@@bigeasy_f150 It’s carnuba wax

[@terrytamanauskas852]

Actually new to utube. But when you say links below, where is below? Don’t laugh just an older guy learning resin and wood turning and not real technical guy for stuff like this.

[@JakeThompson]

Terry Tamanauskas right below the video there will be a little arrow.. hit the arrow and it will show the description that I put there for additional information about the video.. I hope this helps

[@stephanieruggles7783]

Jake I dont have a lathe nor the space for it. Can I still hand sand my resin project? And why sand at all? Some resins are already clear like glass. Will UV resistant resin keep from yellowing? I cast resin only once about 10 years ago and it yellowed unfortunately. All the nice work ruined. So I am a beginner with resin casting. Thank you for this tutorial. Please stay healthy and safe. Take care.

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you for watching.. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. If the resin comes out shiny there’s no need to sand. You can hand sand projects that are not on the lathe.. The UV resistant resins are supposed to stay clear. 👍👍😄
