Oh
Hi can you please tell me which polishing paste u have used?
Good
This is a great display of how much work it takes to get a resin piece polished. I make resin castings mostly on my lathe where it is much quicker to get through all the grades of paper and micro mesh. People just don't realize how much work goes into getting a scratch free surface!
It is true. It is a long process. And it was only one wall
And if you want to sell the piece. They want it dirt cheap like they offer on my stuff. Not knowing how much work and cost it was
I make resin dice and sanding and polishing all the sides is basically an all afternoon deal.
@@donovanbryan5000 It's like that for all crafts. You should hear crocheters and knitters complain about people who want them to make a sweater or large blanket for free, as if it will take just an hour or so to make, not to mention the cost of the yarn. Like that blanket used $150 in yarn, and I spent 200 hours making it, and you want to pay me $50? No. Not a chance. A friend of mine is an artist, and he sometimes does business for other artists. They never quibble about his prices because they know what it takes to make the piece.
@@julietardos5044 oh I understand. Most all my projects I do simply cause I enjoy making. I never truly expect to make profit.
I know this is video about polishing, but this zig zag pattern would make fine backside of custom made exposy resin Domino set!
Genius idea :o would love to see that one myself
I had know idea what was going except that you were showing different sandings. It was very interesting but I would love it you if you do the domino effect.
👍😁
I love that you don't just show us "what" and "how", you explain "why" the "what" and "why" the "how", without even speaking a word. Nice. It helps me remember to do things a certain way, the right way, the first time. Otherwise, I get these big dumb ideas of my own in my head that I know a short cut or know a better way to do something (even though I'd never done "something" before!). Bless you, thank you again.
Nice to hear it Cynthia
You could see an amazing difference as soon as the abrasive paste touched the surface! Thank you!
😉
Thank you for sharing this! I don’t think anyone true understands how much sanding you do for each piece. We always see the list of numbered paper on the screen but never see the whole order and time taken. Your craftsmanship is absolutely stunning😊
Don't worry, lots of people understand how much time he spends, and how many different sand papers he uses, because he films it, and even if he accelerate the process, many people get that it's rather a matter of hours than minutes... But thanks though, maybe some folks thought it was in real time... 😉
@@33tours1 I guess I should’ve worded that better, some people may not realize how much time he spends on sanding because of the speed up process😉 I know I didn’t fully understand it when I first started watching him. I would see a list of used papers, sure, but the amount of time spent using each was a different thing. I’m a crafter and know first hand a short video versus the whole process doesn’t always convey the the work involved. 😊
@@amberarchambeau Yes, I understood. And on top of that, no doubt everybody has his skills and manual precision. Those can make the difference, it's sure !
It is true. There is a lot of work to do. And it was only one side of the dice
You are right
I'm another who didn't know to go perpendicular to the last. Thank you. Great instructions, no nonsense, easy to understand!
👍👍
Omg thank you...I had no idea about changing the direction each time....and I love how you explained what you were doing along the way and why....very helpful info!
You are so welcome!
The only reason to change direction is so you can see the new progress more readily. It has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the sanding. Just to clarify.
I love the noise when you mix the resin
👍
Excellent job Can you please share what type of abrasive paste and polishing paste you use?
You can use probably those for car painting. They are cheap since the volume to be used usually is high, and they achieve a fine level os polishing.
And theeee award goes too this guy!!!!! For the best patience and perfection!
Both interesting and educational! You make it look so easy, so it's actually good to see just how much thought and work goes into what you do.
Thanks for the tutorial! Changing direction between sandpaper grits is a great tip!
👍
Thank you very much! This video is really well done (as you always do) and makes it easier to understand how to do it properly. Really helpful the crossing scratches info! Gonna get that guide soon :) good work!!!!
This very excellent presentation has helped me in my wood/resin lathe turnings. I am a 100% disabled veteran who got into woodturning a while back. Well done!
Cool. Nice to hear it. Good luck
I’ve been looking for a great tutorial on epoxy polishing and here it is! Thank you so much for making this video. I’m heading to Lowe’s now ☺️👍🏼
You are so welcome!
I wondered why these are polished. I understand now, why the directions are necessary. The difference is noticeable! Thank you!
😉
Once again.. showing us your style is wonderful
Fascinating! Thanks for doing this. I took a metalsmithing (jewelry) class before the pandemic, and yeah, we spent a lot of time sanding, and we only went to 600.
It is hard work
@@jedrek29t There's a dice maker I sometimes watch, Rybonator, and he got a ceramics potter's wheel, and he tapes the sandpaper on the potter's wheel, then just holds the dice in place while the sandpaper turns. But he has stopped doing it, and I don't know why.
Thank you for this video! It answered so many questions as well as show the hard work that goes into it.
I'm glad you appreciate it
Well done video. Great examples of each stage, and you show it all, so we can compare our own works to your stages. Thank you.
No problem
Parabéns por mais esse trabalho, perfeito.
Thanks a lot, great work ! Special mention to the tip for the changing the way of sanding between the differents grain
No problem!
This is what I always wonder how to do it. Thank you for showing us!
No problem
Thank you so much for making this video!! I like to "dome" some of my smaller items like key chains, dominoes, etc. Sometimes the epoxy drips down the side and I need to sand and polish it but have been able to get it back to the original shine. This is a game changer for me!!! Question: You noted that after doing the polish step there were still small scratches visible and that it is better to polish mechanically... what do you recommend for this??
So much detail! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!💜💜💜
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I did something similar to a wasp hive I shaped into an egg on my lathe, where I documented each grit and took a picture of what it looked like from 400 grit to 12000 grit and polished. Usually I sand in a circular pattern but going perpendicular is the best way to male sure you got the previous grit out. Again, amazing video man!
😉
Es útil y es muy relajante, ¡excelente video! 🥰
Thank you for taking the time to explain this processes, great content and how we can learn a bit more in each video is a plus, congratulations and keep it up, I really enjoy to see your projects, have a good one!
My pleasure!
Great tutorial, Jedrek29t. I can now see just how much work you do to produce your works of art. Thank you for sharing your talent.❤️❤️💕💕
Thank you for appreciating it
Good idea with the pattern as a reference for how polished it is. Edit: I never knew that you were supposed to go perpendicular to how you sanded it one way, now I understand, I have a much better idea of how to do it, thanks so much!
👍
Thank you for your work! Ugh, sanding and polishing... It's easy with flat surfaces, but anything else is a pain in the ass. I have two spheres, 8 and 9 cm, that need sanding and polishing, and I've been putting it off for weeks. Could you show us how you sand and polish not-flat surfaces? I'm always happy when I can dome small parts or use top coat, but you can't always avoid sanding. 😜
Round surfaces require more work. But sometimes it is flooded with resin and does not need to be polished
The sanding and polishing part isn't always necessary. If the surface is smooth enough for you, just mix a small bit of resin and brush the outside with a cheap brush and the resin you just mixed. It will be clear as glass. Not sure where I read about this but it really saves a lot of time and effort.
Thanks a lot for this vid, it reveals a bit of magic behind your amazing realization. 🤩
Thanks
That is awesome. How the peaces turn out . And yes it does take a lot of work getting it perfect with out scratches. Nice job.
It is a long process
This resource is huge. Thank you for taking the time and showing us this
Thanks
This is how resin should be finished, by sanding, cutting and polishing. I use to work for a company that did resin moulded kitchen, bar and table tops. It drives me nuts when I see KZheadrs do flood pouring leaving dribble down the side or when they roughly sand and just spray cloudy varnish over the top
Can you help me with a resin project that I think I messed up on? It’s on a skateboard but there are places that the resin didn’t level and it’s now rough in that specific spot with bubbles. If I sand too much, I ruin the artwork I was trying to preserve to begin with! How can I fix this? Any help would be much appreciated😊
It was great and beautiful, your job is so true, thank you for making so many beautiful things with resin.
I'm glad you like it Matin😉
Hey Jedrek, thank you so very much for this fantastic tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥇❣
No problem 👍
Thanx for sparing that much time explaining sanding levels, excellent information in the video which I can use next time, always learning a new way of work from you, thanx a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this video easy to learning about this... Thank you 😊
Great work Jedrek Every resin work of yours is unique and that's the difference between Jedrek and other resin workers
Thank you for such kind words
Thank you so much! This is real art in your hands!
Thanks
Вы очень терпеливы! Спасибо за наглядный пример!
😉😉
Thank you for your time! Awesome representation!
Thank You too Laurie
Awesome 👏 many thanks, I have been having problems getting a clear finish. 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🏻
👍
You are very good at showing how you leave your works impecable ... You dedicate time and effort to your always precise creations. Excellent 👍👍🌹
I hope that I will help someone this way. Thanks Sandra
I have jerryrigeverything voice in my mind when you show us the sanding stages.. "Deeper grooves at 80 Grit"
Parabéns pela sua dedicação no trabalho e pela paciência ao nos ensinar sem dizer palavra alguma. Grande talento!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Fico contente por o ouvir
Another great video, and very helpful too! Good job, thank you so much 💖😊
No problem
Jaki to jest świetny tutorial!
How beautiful & talented you are, great job. Thank You for sharing
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing as usual!!! This is very informative! Thanks for posting!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Eine ganz tolle Demonstration der vielen, vielen Arbeitsschritte. Herzlichen Dank für diese aufwendige Vorführung!
Danke
Awesome. Thank you for this video
Omg thanks!!! This is my NOT favorite part of work with resin, but I can try this. Thanks.
You can do it!
Learnt a lot. Thanks. I am interested in getting different surfaces to work on.
👍
Thank you so so much for this video. It was helpful and answers a lot of my questions.
Glad it was helpful!
You should make a reference poster of the sanding order! I always have to look it up every time having it on my wall would be super handy. 🥰
You start with the low numbers and go up to the high numbers. 🤔
That's a good idea!
Senga Sengana yes
@@sengasengana Yeah. But I'd still buy something nice looking to put on the wall as a reference to decorate my studio.
MERCI pour la démonstration, concluante👍.Tu es près pour les JIO de PARIS
Love your videos. Please what's the importance of sanding?
Finally I got the answer. Before I'm just confusing about that. And that's why resin art it so very expensive. 👍❤️ Hope you can make to shine at lathe machine.
Fantastic presentation. thank you for enhancing our learning.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video. Very educational. I have one question. You use Abrasive paste. I live in Denmark and when I try to Google it to find out Where to buy it in my country, it has different Grit size. Or are labelled "fine" or "coarse". Which on should I chose? The fine one?
That was a lovely tutorial. Very helpful. But I have a question. Why is it important to sand the resin. Because when you unmould them they are shiny already
So glad!
You show the procedure in a nice and easy-to-understand way, and the result was very nice. But for me, they looks just as shiny before you started the sanding, but of course, it could just be the filming that lying a little bit.
👍
Very helpful thank you
If I could click like more than once I would click it 1000 times, great video.
Thank You !
Your work is amazing
Thanks
Super filmik, dobrze pokazuje ile pracy wymaga dobre wypolerowanie żywicy. Sporo przydatnych informacji i dobrze pokazane dlaczego warto zmieniać o 90 stopni kierunek szlifowania. Do tej pory używałem do polerowania odlanych kostek jakiejś słabej pasty z castoramy, będę musiał spróbować z K2 tempo, dzięki :D
Dzięki że doceniasz 😉👍
Thankyou for this post, i know where iv been going wrong now
Thank you! I was wondering if making a block like that would be possible. Would you like to share the process to make the block? Thanks! ❤
Great reference video.
7:35 look closely like two fighting karate 🤣
interesting gradient. Very good video.
I loooove the way 2000 and 2500 look.
👍
Thanks. Now I know where I went wrong when I use to sand and tinker with resin.
👍
Трудоёмкий процесс! Лайк за терпение!
Это правда. Спасибо
As a Polish i want to say this is well polish.
👍😁
Lindo de mais 🤩
Omg! Thank you so much for this video!
😉👍
Woah it really did get smoothen! Noce
Saved for future reference cheers!! 🙌
Thank you!
Perfect work great really
Many many thanks
Интересно было посмотреть ваше видео по шлифовки и полировки изделий из эпоксидной смолы.
Спасибо
Very helpful video
Очень наглядно. Здорово!
Приятно слышать
fantastic and didactic presentation.
👍
Muito interessante parabéns pelo trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏
Obrigada
Really appreciate this video
Thanks
Kỹ thuật và kiểu dáng epoxy này thật tuyệt vời.rất đẹp
Cảm ơn bạn
Perfect.
How much height did you end up removing from the block after that full sanding process, compared to the unsanded one? Just curious... This was great to watch and see the whole thing from start to finish.
I haven't checked it. But I guess no more than half a millimeter
Good question
That IS a good question because at 13:36 it looks like a lot of material is missing but this is deceptive as the comparison is between two differently poured blocks.
@@markzambelli That's exactly why I asked because obviously just a couple of mls extra of resin can make a big difference in a mould that small.
@@jedrek29t Thank you for replying. :)
Vary useful video! Many thanks!
No problem
Hello, they say that there are several types of abrasive paste, which one should I use please? I thank you in advance :)
Thanks, very descriptive ❤️
You're welcome Kavi 😊
Okay so I have a game board that I made and it’s my first time using anything like this and I know how to keep the bubbles out and all that but after I do probably two layers of epoxy…. Do I have to sand through all those steps as well for my game board or no ? Are these steps what you need to use for only the top side of your piece every time you make a piece? Say if you do a pyramid casting …. Do you need to do all these steps for all the sides then ? I so don’t want to mess up my board game that I put a lot of time into making 🫣 thank you for any help you can give 😊
This was amazing. I had never thought of sanding in the Opposite direction to get all the marks out, what kind of abrasive paste do you use? I have a polish that's great but I didn't know a polish and abrasive paste whare different things
It is a car polishing paste TempoK2
Thankyo for this video ❤
Как красиво получилось 😍
Спасибо
