In this video we go over the most basic materials and technique to get a glass finish on any resin pieces with flat sides, such as dice. There's no cuts on the actual sanding and polishing process so you can get a sense for how long it takes to polish.
I'm using as an example a small packet of finishing supplies I sell along with my dice (you can learn more at [ Ссылка ] or [ Ссылка ]), but you can also grab from Amazon any of these supplies as well as some of the other things I mention in the video:
Sandpapers:
- 3M Wet Or Dry Sandpaper: 600 - [ Ссылка ]
- 3M Wet Or Dry Sandpaper Assorted Pack: 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 - [ Ссылка ]
Polishing papers:
- Zona Polishing Paper, Red/Pink (3 Micron) - [ Ссылка ]
- Zona Polishing Paper, White (1 Micron) - [ Ссылка ]
There's also an assorted pack ([ Ссылка ]) if you're interested in trying out all of the Zonas for finishing instead of sandpaper, but in my experience sandpaper cuts faster, lasts longer, and is much cheaper.
Polishing compound:
- PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polisher - [ Ссылка ]
Dremel attachments:
- Wool felt buffing pad pack - [ Ссылка ]
Other items:
- Square Mirror or Glass: Arts and crafts stores like Michaels should carry these, or try home improvement stores like Home Depot. Otherwise, here's one on amazon: [ Ссылка ]
- Cleaning Brush: An old toothbrush should be fine to clean out the resin and polish residue, but I've also found these nail brushes to be very effective and cheap: [ Ссылка ]
- Ultrasonic Cleaner: Look into this if you're often having to clean resin pieces (or other small bits like jewelry). An ultrasonic cleaner can run you around $30-40. Here's a link to the one I use: [ Ссылка ]
