Always Use Progressive Grits on Camper Resin

← Back to How do you polish camper resin?

If you want a truly flawless, glossy finish on camper resin, using progressive grits during sanding and polishing is essential. This approach lays the foundation for a professional result and helps to avoid common surface imperfections.

What Are Progressive Grits?

Progressive grits refer to using a sequence of sanding pads or papers, starting from coarser and moving to finer grits. Each grit level removes the scratches left by the previous, gradually refining the resin’s surface. For example, you might begin with 360 or 500 grit and advance up to 4000 grit for the smoothest results.

The Ebonite Abralon Sanding Pads make this process straightforward, offering a full range from coarse to ultra-fine for resin and wood.

How to Use Progressive Grits Effectively

To polish camper resin, start with a coarser grit to level any uneven or rough areas. Sand evenly, then clean the surface to remove debris before moving to the next finer grit. Repeat this process, stepping up to each finer grade, to systematically erase scratches and achieve a uniform texture.

• Always sand in a consistent direction and apply even pressure.
• Switch to wet sanding for the finer grades to further minimise surface marks.
• After sanding, polish using a dedicated product for resin, such as Epoxy Polish, with a polishing pad or machine for best results.

When This Matters Most

Progressively sanding is crucial for visible flat surfaces, countertop edges, or any part of your camper resin that needs to look immaculate. Skipping grit levels or jumping too quickly can leave stubborn scratches or cloudy patches, detracting from the high-gloss finish you want.
