How To Polish Epoxy Resin Like A Pro!

Показать описание

Welcome back guys! This video will include processes of sanding from a very low grit all the way up to 8000, followed by how I do a 3 step polishing process to get you a GLASS like surface. This olive wood casted piece was a failed epoxy pour attempt, no better way to show you how you can put lipstick on pig! You can apply these tequniques to various finishes, I’ve used it on epoxy, acrylic/plexi-glass, conversion varnish, 2k urethane automotive finish, and also raw wood (minus the water/compounds). Make sure to hit that subscribe and post notifications button, I have a ton of fun projects I’ll be showcasing this year!

God blessed you 🙏🏻 I had been searching for the right way to polished resin for months, wasted so much money on product, didn’t know which buffer to buy, thank you much. I preserved flowers 💐

I've watched many videos about polishing from multiple people. Most of them tend to keep their techniques/products used a secret. They focused more on the finished piece...like "look what I did!"...and skipped over the "how" they did it. THANK YOU for laying it all out there and even giving links to products!

Awesome video Matt. This is the best video I’ve seen detailing any millwork shop polishing process using industry standard items.

Just an FYI, although 3M and Mirka recommend sanding past 2000 grit, you don’t need to sand past a 2000 or 2500 grit pad. Start the polishing process with 3M step 1 past 2k sanding saves a ton of time with the same result. Also, don’t sand with 100grit. 150 should be the lowest. 100 leave away too big scratches in any resins to sand through and buff out efficiently. Material is so soft you don’t need that extra grit with an Deros sander.

Been doing polyester/paint in high gloss polished finishes for 10+ years commercially in high end residential.

Came over from Blacktail Studios. What an informative video to jump in on. I do resin tables and have had a problem with that kind of finish. Now I know what I have been doing wrong. Self-taught brings a long learning curve. Heat will do away with your bubbles along with good deep pour resin. I use resin from the epoxy store, they have a deep pour that is amazing and great customer service. There factory is in California. Thanks for the great Vid. Think I will start over on one that I can't get the cloudy out of!

Matt thank you so much. I was looking for a tutorial on polishing epoxy as I built a table for my son when he became an navy officer, all hand done from a liberty ship hatch way from ww2 with challenge coins laid in. It has been close to two years of use in his office and needs to be cleaned up a bit. This is exactly what I was looking for. Great job looks mirror finish.

Matt, you do a fine job with your projects and your techniques. I've learned so much from YouTube videos and yours are among the best.. That's why I subscribed. When I hear loud music like the one I commented on, I turn off the sound or exit from the program. No one watches any how-to video because of the music. If you watch enough videos, you'll see that teen-ager music is not what most of your viewers would select to play for themselves. To answer your question, "No." Any music is not better than no music. No music is better than something that interrupts the crafting experience I clicked on to watch. Thanks for answering. It's your show and you can play what you wish.

Nice video mate. As with most worthwhile things in life, taking your time and not skipping any steps is the way to go.
