🌿✌️. I bout a Dremel. Ordered polishing tips with a velcro fitter to 👍.. bought 3 in Diamond polishing pads for rotary tool.!! Then Cut the polishing pads to fit the velcro for my Dremel.. 😉💪💯💯🙏❤️. 👍

Hey there, I use the Dremel to work on the overpour part of my piece and now I really need to sand at a finer grit with my Dremel. Can you explain what the next grits I need to use on my Dremel? I plan on using the ultra gloss you suggested

I don't use a dremel. I sand by hand and all the grits i use are in the video. There maybe a way to use a dremel but im not sure of them.

Does it stay shiny. if you make a gift for someone will it get dull again?

How long will this stay shining ?

Yes, you have to go through all the grits of sanding to get the smoothest possible surface to get a high polish.

Thank you! My epoxy resin is supposed to be glossy to begin with, the side facing the mould comes out matte while the side facing and drying in the air comes out perfectly glossy... Does one has to use a specific mould in order for it to come out glossy?

@ShivaTD420

Yeah, some molds will give a gloss finish. Depends on the type of mold material and the part that was used to make the negative. Some releasing agents used on the part can also effect the molds texture. You may also find that molds may go more matte over time as they get heavy use or if you cast more abrasive or corrosive compounds like concrete or polyester resin.

Thanks for this. Can you do this with UV resin as well?

Yes you can, but in this video like he said he is pressing hard to shine, that is because with epoxy you should go up to a even higher gritt not only 3000, after 3k ya should go gritt 5000 6000 8000 10000, and then use the polish, then you will have even a more shine result as this one

If you dont go up to a super high grit you won't get a glass like shine. You have to sand up to at least 2000 grit. Depending on your project you may be able to do a flood coat.
