Epoxy resin is sanded step by step, from a coarser to an increasingly finer grit . It is important to work each grit evenly and only move on to the next one once the sanding marks from the previous stage have been removed. Wet sanding is particularly suitable for the final sanding, as it ensures a uniform finish and reduces sanding dust.

The appropriate grit depends on the condition of the surface. For more pronounced imperfections, start with a coarser grit and then work your way step by step to very fine grits for the final polish . The finer the surface is sanded before polishing, the easier it is to achieve a clear, high-gloss finish.

After fine sanding, the surface is polished. Medium polishing compound reduces fine sanding marks and prepares the surface for the finish. Finish polishing compound, used with a suitable polishing sponge, then provides greater clarity, deeper shine, and a high-gloss finish.

Yes, epoxy resin can also be polished by hand . This is particularly suitable for smaller surfaces, edges, jewelry, or hard-to-reach areas. For larger surfaces like epoxy resin tables, a polishing machine is usually faster and allows for a more even result.
