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
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. 👍
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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!

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
My arthritic finger hurt just watching them hands. Good job.
'Their' hands
Lol

SAME.
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)
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!

I've never seen that before, it looks like glass. Thank you for sharing this amazing result!!!!!

I guess now it’s time for you to take a nap. Thanks for sharing. Good info
🙏🙏👍👍👍
Very Good. I always seen when they hurry or yack too much. I just love how you have done it. Thank You
Akhirnya nemu juga tutorial yang ngga pake mesin, thx video nya bang, sangat bermanfaat.
siapp
I use a buff on perspex as is melts the surface slightly but metal polish is really good too!
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Good on you man! That is a lot of work!
Thanks. It is a very helpful video for beginners like me

yay finally a solution to have true clear resin
Thank you for sharing such a simple guide in polishing resin into like a glass you are truly helpful and wonderful ^^
U are welcome
Gracias!! 😊 Saludos desde Monterrey Nuevo León México!..🤗
Hola
You have the patient of Job, I don't and never will.
capek juga bikin bening, tapi yang penting hasilnya dapet. thanks 👍
Rapaz, isso dá trabalho, mas o resultado é muito bom. Parabéns.
Amazing job 💞 thanks for the advices
Gracias muy bonito te queda👍
Awesome! Thanks for the video!
Can you also use this process with bigger resin products like for lamp resin when you don't have the machine?
Esto podría resultar para el visor de un casco?
Pregunto porque parece ser el mismo material
Buen video!
Good job thanks for sharing
Wow good amazing 👏
Thank you! Couldn't figure out which polish to get!
Really great useful invention
Good clean 👌
Super useful thanks a-lot. This solved my issue with foggy lenses on my Binoculars…
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
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 ?
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!

Really Amazing work. Just wondering, How do you know that now it's time to change the grit??
Wow thats awesome but definitely a process
Thank you for pinning what you use in this process 🙏💜💜
liked for the intro music. I knew I would learn after also...
I have seen a lot of polishing videos for resin, only this one is helpful for me, availble tools and simple way thanks
🙏🙏🙏👍
Love and appreciation from Pakistan
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Awesome 👏🏼
will it be crystal clear at the end? like when the resin dries and its as clear as that?
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?
Me puso hasta la madre tu pranganez, eso de utilizar pedaceria de hojas de lija...
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
Whoa tons of steps
Wonderful work! Tanks !
👌🙏👍
Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 🎉.
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?
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.
Could you use this method to polish a scratched plastic crystal on a swatch watch?
Muito bom perfeito 👍👌👏👏👏
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Gracias! Realmente interesante!😉👍🏻
👍👍👍 Gracias.
Is there a particular type of cloth you are using to rub the turtle wax in? or is that just simple microfiber cloth?
I making like that lods good sharing
Maravilloso! Me preguntaba donde podria conseguir esos pulidores Turtle o algo similar y accesible. Saludos desde Chile
Acho que sim
Itu d kasih air biasa pa air sabun gan ? Sama da jnis resin anti gores g bt pelapisan sangaaat tipis ?....
What does the P stand for in P1000 grit? Is it a specific type of abrasive paper I need? Thanks for the video!
Particle
👍 résultat parfait.
Thanks for making the video 👍
Will this work on Epoxy resin?

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.
Nice swap
Nice video
Dá pra fazer assim com a lente dos óculos

@@sandcastle2069if i use sand paper and polishing wax it will work or not?
@@sandcastle2069 thank you for this very helpful tip !
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
Amazing!
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
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.
Great video 👍
Cuantos minutos empleas en pulir la pieza por favor? Para que te de ese brillo?. Gracias
What a procedure!!!
Can i use this resin without a pressure pot? I don't have the space for one
Very nice video. It looks like optic white calcite.
Any metal polish can be used
oh! u pulled out a kind of jewelry from stuff anyone doesn’t care!! awesome!
Great work
Thanks for this informative video..But have you used sand paper for rubbing?
Thanks to give ideas
I love Indonesia love from Pakistan❤
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
Very useful! Thanks! :-)
Tu as gagné mon like ❤
do you have to do anything else to where as a pendant?
That seemed like too much work. I wouldn't want to do all that for EVERY clear piece I make.
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.
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
Using power tools would make the job go much quicker
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.

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
What grit are you using for both sand papers?
GOOD TO KNOW GREAT JOB
Thanks for sharing.
Esta excelente el video se puede a mano por que la mayoria sube pero con maquinas.
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!
So helpful!
Anyway, can I replace the C800 ? So difficult to find it in my country. What is your suggestion? Thank you..

oye me gustaría saber si también se puede utulizar esta técnica para el acrílico superior de mi Auto Smart que es oscuro.
Can u please tell me which polishing compound is best for resin jewellery art
