This is my secret for getting a high gloss shine after you sand your resin peice. It's a really easy process which doesn't take too much time to do and is definitely worth it if your resin peices don't come out with a high gloss shine. Please let me know what you think in the comments.
The polish I use it called hut ultra gloss. Here is the link. www.woodcraft.com/products/hu...
Most sand paper you can get from a big box hardware store. Here is the link for the higher grit sandpaper.

Very good 👍 i actually watched over 4 videos of polising resins but i never understood what they used. This is a good tutorial for beginners like me that doesn't know anything about sand papers n polishing

Does it stay shiny. if you make a gift for someone will it get dull again?

@margarety5443 2 года назад

Hey there, I use the Dremel to work on the overpour part of my piece and now I really need to sand at a finer grit with my Dremel. Can you explain what the next grits I need to use on my Dremel? I plan on using the ultra gloss you suggested

@coles481 2 года назад

I don't use a dremel. I sand by hand and all the grits i use are in the video. There maybe a way to use a dremel but im not sure of them.

@maudale 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! My epoxy resin is supposed to be glossy to begin with, the side facing the mould comes out matte while the side facing and drying in the air comes out perfectly glossy... Does one has to use a specific mould in order for it to come out glossy?

@ShivaTD420 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, some molds will give a gloss finish. Depends on the type of mold material and the part that was used to make the negative. Some releasing agents used on the part can also effect the molds texture. You may also find that molds may go more matte over time as they get heavy use or if you cast more abrasive or corrosive compounds like concrete or polyester resin.

@jamesbouse8232 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for this. Can you do this with UV resin as well?

@MLOpals 7 месяцев назад

Yes you can, but in this video like he said he is pressing hard to shine, that is because with epoxy you should go up to a even higher gritt not only 3000, after 3k ya should go gritt 5000 6000 8000 10000, and then use the polish, then you will have even a more shine result as this one

@kayvonnesmith9541 Год назад

Can you explain y u have to do so many different sandpapers?

@colescreations6680 Год назад

Yes, you have to go through all the grits of sanding to get the smoothest possible surface to get a high polish.

@MicheleMIXTRESS 3 года назад

Do you use the same buffing on clear pieces as well?

@colescreations6680 3 года назад

Yes, I do.

@teardropda1onlylopez966 3 года назад

@coles481 3 года назад

In the link in the description I have the polish to use. I've never had luck with the flitz polish.

@nuritgranot6796 Год назад

If you apply RESIN to the object, won't it shine just as much?

@foreveryoung4980 2 года назад

too much work, it would be easier to put thin coat of resin

@coles481 2 года назад

It definitely is a lot of work but not all projects can done with a flood coat.

@xsweetlyxstarwberryx7614 2 года назад

How long do you rub for with each sand paper?

There is no set amount of time. I just do it until i feel like that grit it all done and move on to the next.

I have not tested this on UV resin so I'm not entirely sure if it would.

@nigelgoh1362 3 года назад

If you polish it without sanding would it become shiny too?

@colescreations6680 3 года назад

No, it won't be as glossy. You need to get the piece as smooth as you can first then polish.

@Chris_p_08 2 года назад

Is it still possible if I only go up to 400?

@coles481 2 года назад

If you dont go up to a super high grit you won't get a glass like shine. You have to sand up to at least 2000 grit. Depending on your project you may be able to do a flood coat.

@Chris_p_08 2 года назад

@@coles481 yeah thanks, I tried to just do 400 cuz it's the highest I have atm but ur right it's still super cloudy 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

@mynaa134 3 года назад

Can I just use 220 grit only?

@colescreations6680 3 года назад

I would recommend going as high with the grits as you can. You need it extremely smooth in order to get the best shine possible.

@@colescreations6680 So basically it means that its either we dont touch the resin piece at all (basically its okay and has no problems after making it) or if we do we have to start all the way from coarse sandpaper to fine in order to get it back to a nice gloss?

@colescreations6680 3 года назад

@@nigelgoh1362 if you don't want to do this because it can be super annoying I recommend getting a mold that has a glossy surface. That will insure the piece comes out glossy or if it's a flat piece you can always dome the resin on top.

@mauriceryton 3 года назад

Try using grits with no more than a 60 grit jump. Clean throughly between grits, anything above 240 grit and you are polishing the surface. 3M has really good sanding products and polishing products too.
