← Back to How do you resin a camper?

Resin can transform and protect your camper’s surfaces, but success relies on proper preparation. Taking time to prep your surfaces ensures a smooth, long-lasting result.
Step-by-Step Surface Cleaning and Degreasing
Start by thoroughly cleaning any surface you intend to resin. Remove dust, dirt, and especially grease, which can severely affect adhesion. For multi-material interiors or exteriors, use a product like the Strong Technical Degreaser, safe for metals, plastics, and wood. It removes oils, silicone, and other stubborn residues, leaving your camper’s surface spotless and ready for the next step.
Sanding and Creating a Key
Once clean, lightly sand the surface with a suitable grit sandpaper. This step removes any glossy finish and creates a slightly rough texture, which is vital for resin adhesion. After sanding, remove all dust with a clean, dry cloth or a vacuum. Ensure that no sanding particles remain, as these can cause imperfections in your resin layer.
Ensuring Dry and Dust-Free Conditions
Before applying resin, double-check that the surface is completely dry. Any moisture or remaining dust can compromise the final finish. A dust-free space, or at least protecting the area with covers, helps prevent contaminants from settling on the prepared surface. Good preparation now will save time and produce better results later on.
