Easily Polish Resin with an Orbital Sander: DIY Resin Polishing Guide by DIYeasycrafts
Discover the secrets to achieving a crystal-clear, polished surface on your resin projects with this comprehensive DIY tutorial! Join Dan Berg from DIYeasycrafts as he shares his expert tips and techniques for easily polishing resin using just an orbital sander and a variety of sanding and polishing discs.

In this step-by-step video, you'll learn how to transform the bottom of a clear epoxy resin Chinese checkers board into a flawless, mirror-like finish. However, the same process can be applied to tabletops and most mid to large-size flat resin projects, allowing you to achieve professional-quality results in no time.

The first step in the resin polishing journey is sanding. Dan demonstrates the proper technique, starting with an 80-grit sandpaper to remove any imperfections or rough areas. Gradually progressing through 220, 400, 1000, and finally 2000-grit sandpapers, he ensures a smooth and even surface that's ready for the polishing stage.

Once the sanding process is complete, it's time to bring out the shine! Dan introduces rubbing compound, applied with a foam buffing pad that easily attaches to the orbital sander. This combination effectively removes any remaining scratches or blemishes, bringing the resin to a high level of clarity.

For the final touch, a polishing compound is used with a softer foam pad attached to the sander. This step further enhances the gloss and smoothness of the resin surface, leaving it looking radiant and professional.

To protect and maintain the stunning finish, Dan applies a coat of automotive wax and buffs it off, revealing a lustrous shine that will withstand the test of time.

What sets this resin polishing technique apart is its simplicity. No special tools are required, and with the use of an orbital sander, the process becomes even more effortless. Achieve exceptional results with minimal time and effort, as Dan guides you through each step of this straightforward and effective resin polishing method.
