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
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!!
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.
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. 👍
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
@@dripzzfromabove6823 I don’t know what this guy did for this resin to be so cloudy, but my resin is epoxy and it comes out very very clear. Resin is very fun to work with :)

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

Super jolie le produit s appelle comment
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
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!
299 like let me change that(chain)
My arthritic finger hurt just watching them hands. Good job.
'Their' hands
Lol

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!
I use a buff on perspex as is melts the surface slightly but metal polish is really good too!
I guess now it’s time for you to take a nap. Thanks for sharing. Good info
🙏🙏👍👍👍
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Very Good. I always seen when they hurry or yack too much. I just love how you have done it. Thank You
Thanks. It is a very helpful video for beginners like me

Amazing job 💞 thanks for the advices
Akhirnya nemu juga tutorial yang ngga pake mesin, thx video nya bang, sangat bermanfaat.

Super useful thanks a-lot. This solved my issue with foggy lenses on my Binoculars…
Good job thanks for sharing
Rapaz, isso dá trabalho, mas o resultado é muito bom. Parabéns.
I have seen a lot of polishing videos for resin, only this one is helpful for me, availble tools and simple way thanks
🙏🙏🙏👍
Really Amazing work. Just wondering, How do you know that now it's time to change the grit??
Gracias!! 😊 Saludos desde Monterrey Nuevo León México!..🤗
Hola
Gracias muy bonito te queda👍
Can you also use this process with bigger resin products like for lamp resin when you don't have the machine?
Awesome! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for pinning what you use in this process 🙏💜💜
Wow thats awesome but definitely a process
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Wow good amazing 👏
Esto podría resultar para el visor de un casco?
Pregunto porque parece ser el mismo material
Buen video!
Thanks for making the video 👍
Will this work on Epoxy resin?
Really great useful invention
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.
Love and appreciation from Pakistan
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!
u can used other brand
liked for the intro music. I knew I would learn after also...

Muito bom perfeito 👍👌👏👏👏
Great example of concept... for printing block crafts, still an amazing result though!
Good clean 👌
Thanks for this informative video..But have you used sand paper for rubbing?
Me puso hasta la madre tu pranganez, eso de utilizar pedaceria de hojas de lija...
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 ?
👍 résultat parfait.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Gracias! Realmente interesante!😉👍🏻
👍👍👍 Gracias.
oh! u pulled out a kind of jewelry from stuff anyone doesn’t care!! awesome!
I’d recommend using the Drexel tool sander if you have arthritis like I do. Thanks for your videos!
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
will it be crystal clear at the end? like when the resin dries and its as clear as that?
Could you use this method to polish a scratched plastic crystal on a swatch watch?

Any metal polish can be used
Esta excelente el video se puede a mano por que la mayoria sube pero con maquinas.
Hello, I am in Argentina and I would like to know what they put on the end of the sanding work so that it is so shiny, thank you
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?
Thanks for sharing.
Maravilloso! Me preguntaba donde podria conseguir esos pulidores Turtle o algo similar y accesible. Saludos desde Chile
Acho que sim
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?
Nice swap
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.
Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 🎉.
Wonderful job. But curious to know that Why did your resin piece become so cloudy??
Awesome 👏🏼

@@sandcastle2069if i use sand paper and polishing wax it will work or not?
@@sandcastle2069 thank you for this very helpful tip !
What grit are you using for both sand papers?
Wonderful work! Tanks !
👌🙏👍
Is there a particular type of cloth you are using to rub the turtle wax in? or is that just simple microfiber cloth?
Thanks to give ideas
Thanks ❤👍
Wow that def is beautiful and satisfying
Perfect ❤❤
Muchas gracias por subirlo
Very nice video. It looks like optic white calcite.
What does the P stand for in P1000 grit? Is it a specific type of abrasive paper I need? Thanks for the video!
Particle
- Good idea would be better if the sand paper was glued to a surface. That technique lasts infinitely.Thanx 4 sharing.
Amazing!
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
Can i use this resin without a pressure pot? I don't have the space for one
Very useful! Thanks! :-)
There goes my dreams of creating things with epoxy resin
Its not all epoxy
@@dripzzfromabove6823 I don’t know what this guy did for this resin to be so cloudy, but my resin is epoxy and it comes out very very clear. Resin is very fun to work with :)
love this
What a procedure!!!
I making like that lods good sharing
Wow amazing this really good interesting
3D printed resin or mixed and poured?
You use better music than most. Nice one!
Uh yeah sure
do you have to do anything else to where as a pendant?
Can u please tell me which polishing compound is best for resin jewellery art
would you please teach us how to make an epoxy using handsoap and glitter
Whoa tons of steps
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
Mmang bereh that buet droeneuh..aneuk miet padip droe ka
