If your epoxy resin surface has lost its lustre or has become scratched, restoring or recoating can bring it back to life. Here, we guide you through practical steps for a smooth and attractive finish.
Prepare the Surface
Begin by cleaning the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or any residues. Use a gentle yet effective degreaser designed for resin work to ensure your surface is ready for further steps. Once clean, gently sand the damaged or dull areas using sanding pads with progressively finer grits, such as those available in the Ebonite Abralon Sanding Pads range. This will help smooth out scratches and create an even base for recoating.
Apply a Fresh Epoxy Resin Coat
Mix your clear epoxy resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions. High-clarity, UV-protective resins like Art Pro are ideal for recoating. Pour a thin layer and spread evenly, ensuring the surface is level for optimum results. Allow the resin to cure fully in a dust-free environment for the glossiest finish and enhanced durability.
Restore the Gloss Finish
Once fully cured, minor imperfections and a satin look can be refined further by polishing. Use a professional epoxy polish and apply it with a suitable tool—such as a hand pad holder or rotary polisher—to achieve a brilliant shine. Avoid using only a clean cloth, as proper friction and pressure are needed for best results. Check out the Epoxy Polish system for a mirror-like finish.
When Restoration and Re-Coating Matters
Restoring or recoating is especially important if your surface is regularly exposed to sunlight, frequent handling, or accidental scrapes, as these conditions can cause wear over time. Taking these steps will prolong the appearance and strength of your epoxy projects.
