What methods are used to polish resin surfaces in glossy abstract finishes?
Polishing resin surfaces to achieve glossy abstract finishes involves several key techniques. First, sanding is essential—start with coarse grit (around 400) and progressively move to finer grits (up to 3000) for a smooth base. Next, use a polishing compound and a soft cloth or buffing wheel to enhance the shine. For a high-gloss finish, apply a clear resin coating or epoxy sealer. Alternatively, flame polishing with a torch can quickly melt the surface for a glossy effect, though it requires caution. Finally, UV-resistant topcoats protect the finish from yellowing. These methods ensure a professional, mirror-like result for resin art and DIY projects.
