Hi,
I am relatively new to all this!
I have been making things for a couple of years and always have something new on the go!
At the moment, it's Resin work.
I just can't seem to get that perfect finish and I'm open to discussion!
I am filling bottle caps with resin and sanding the surface from 400-1500 grit paper. But I am still getting small cloudy marks/patches that WON'T come out!
Any help is much appreciated

Cassie.

I read somewhere that future floor polish is the best polish to use for resins and polymer clay. I have not tried it yet but its really inexpensive and you can get it from most supermarkets. You still have to sand with really low grit sandpaper too though.

Thank you, will look for it next time I'm at the supermarket.
Even tried toothpaste..!

Hi.
The cloudy marks could be from humidity. I had an oily looking finish on my resin. Now I dehumidify the room before resining and it has dissapeared.

hi,

i use ice resin it doesnt need any work esppecially if you a refilling bottle caps or bezels

Heya,

You shouldnt need to sand resin at all. I use ariscrat two part mix, pore, lighter, dry. done

try brasso! or jiff.

They are gentle abrasives and will help to bring resin up to a nice shine

I generally don't need to sand or polish. I use a doming resin and as long as it is kept dust free it needs no extra work once set.
