You're very welcome. Thanks for watching 😁

Yes, you can skip this step. You can sand and buff for a nice finish or just leave it matt. Its a personal preference. I like the shine it gives but also as I mostly make my pieces quite thin, using resin makes them stronger. I realise that not everyone likes to use resin. If I make a nice chunky piece, I would sand and buff to get that nice shine. Its just a lot more work, which when you're making lots and lots can be quite time consuming. But yes, it's totally your choice 👍😉

Hiya Tracy, this is the link to the resin I use. I'm not sure if it's available in the US though x

On very thin pieces like these ones, I just resin the front and back and I don't do anything with the side. If I was to make a piece that is much thicker, I wouldn't use resin, but I would sand to a very fine grit on all faces and sides and then finish with my buffing wheel to create a lovely shine. I know its been a while since I made a video but I will make one soon to explain this better. 😉

Thank you

Hiya, no the front won't be affected when flipping to do the back side, as long as the front is fully cured and there is no spillage. 😃👍

Thank you Mona. I know it can be an irritant for the skin. Thankfully, it doesn't affect me. But I am careful not to touch it until its cured and I always wash my hands afterwards. It's better to wear gloves to be on the safe side but I've never had a reaction so I just try to minimalise the skin contact as much as possible 😁
