Polishing a resin surface to a high-gloss shine relies on following the correct order of sanding and polishing. Using the right sequence ensures professional-looking results with minimal effort.
Step-by-Step Sanding and Polishing Order
Begin by sanding the resin surface with sanding pads, starting with a coarser grit (such as 360) and gradually progressing to finer grits, up to 4000 as required. This refines away imperfections and produces a silky smooth texture. Products like “Ebonite Abralon” sanding pads are designed for even, consistent abrasion during this stage and can be used wet or dry.
Choosing and Applying Polishing Compounds
Once the surface is suitably smooth, select a polishing compound matched to your resin’s colour and finish requirements. Apply the compound using a rotary polisher, hand pad holder, or polishing pad for effective buffing—using a simple cloth is generally insufficient for an even result. The Epoxy Polish – Epoxy Resin Polishing System is purpose-made for achieving a high-gloss finish on various resin surfaces.
Finishing for a Flawless Shine
Finish by working the surface with a microfibre pad or a dedicated polishing sponge. This step removes any remaining haze and brings out maximum clarity. Durable discs, like the Polishing Sponge Discs 150mm, are ideal for this purpose and help produce a mirror-like sheen, particularly over large, flat areas such as tabletops.
When This Matters
Following this order is vital for new resin projects and resurfacing older ones, helping to remove scratches and avoid uneven patches that can detract from the table’s appearance.
