      Prepare your work area, put your favorite music, a good chair and just enjoy your work. If you have a small electric sander(like an orbital sander or a vibrator sander) you can speed up the process considerably. Once you have the first one polished the new molding will be polished too. Good luck and have fun!

    This is the process, for sure.... but it doesn't have to be so exact and time consuming, every time, unless you messed up when you're working with epoxy.
    You don't always have to go grit by grit, from a 400 to a 10,000. Work your way there but always finish with a 10k and a polish.
    I generally start at 1000 grit. Go to 3000, then 5000, then 10000, then finish with a polish.
    But the key is to not have mistakes before starting. If you get a bug or a hair or a bubble because you didn't use your heat gun... start at 150.

    Good video. This also can be done with a small sanding machine, like an orbital to speed up the process, that being said, sometimes when things are done by hands they give you another level of satisfaction. A humble suggestion: Please try to get the camera no so close to the work. If you want to do a close up make it really slow so the viewer dont get dizzy and can appreciate the detail or read the words on the items. Please keep making these videos, excellent job. Thanks.

    Hello there, great video. I have been looking for something to bring this kind of result to my jewellery pieces which I make from wood and resin. It’s been a dry frustrating process because I was under the impression that I would be able to apply the resin then set and add extra polish with polishing paste. When I did my pieces became cloudy and patchy. I’m so discouraged because the process is far more complex and I don’t want to charge more. I’m not sure what to do

  • @lisacarly53

    This is beautiful! Can I possibly ask a question? If I have a resin pendant that has started going matte (it has a sterling silver backing) should I use sandpaper to get rid of any inconsistencies before painting with a gloss? I'm not experienced and don't want to ruin the pendant further. Thanks!

      Plain water should do, but when I used to polish headlights by hand, I used 3-4 drops of dish washing fluid for a 500ml bowl of water, mix it with my hand and "wash" my surface and sandpaper with it. This slows down the process a little, but it gives you more control and you feel the rough spots faster, because it glides different and the difference is more obvious than with plain water.

    Can you use this same concept for epoxied tumblers? I put a final layer of epoxy on a tumbler and there are a few spots where tiny dust particles landed on it. Could I use a high grit sanding pad with that paste and buff it out without having to do another layer of epoxy over it? What all would you recommend? Thanks!
