← Back to How to make a resin panel?

Ending up with an uneven surface on your resin panel is a common frustration, but it’s entirely fixable with the right approach. Achieving a flawless, glassy finish simply takes a few careful steps.
Assess and Prepare the Surface
Start by examining your cured resin panel, looking out for high spots, ridges, or dips. Before any correction, ensure the panel is fully cured — this can take between 12 and 24 hours depending on the resin used. Clean the surface from dust or grease to prevent interference during refinishing.
Sanding and Levelling Techniques
For raised areas, gently sand the high spots with a fine-grit abrasive (such as 320–400 grit), using circular motions. Always wear a mask when sanding resin. Once level, remove any sanding residue with a clean, damp cloth. To restore an even, glossy surface, apply a thin layer of clear epoxy resin such as Art Pro – Clear Epoxy Resin for Artists and Surface Coating. Pour and spread the resin slowly to allow self-levelling, and let it cure undisturbed for a smooth finish.
Buying and Application Guidance
- Use a medium-viscosity resin specifically designed for coatings for best results on art or decorative panels.
- Always follow product instructions for mixing ratios and curing times to avoid repeat issues.
- If working on larger areas or needing more depth, select a suitable product like “Trasparente” for up to 2cm pours or an MDF board base to provide a stable substrate.
When This Matters
Properly addressing an uneven resin panel is essential when clarity and professional appearance are important — particularly in display art, tabletops, or decorative pieces where the finish is under scrutiny.
