eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Polishing Resin Art (600–3000 Grit Guide)

Resin art projects like coasters, jewelry, and river tables often require sanding to achieve a flawless, glossy finish. eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets make it easy to refine resin surfaces from rough shaping to crystal-clear polishing.

Why Sanding Resin Art is Important

Resin cures with surface imperfections such as bubbles, rough edges, or uneven finishes. Sanding removes these flaws layer by layer, preparing the surface for polishing and sealing. Without sanding, resin surfaces may remain cloudy or uneven.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sanding block or orbital sander
• Spray bottle with water
• Microfiber cloths
• Polishing compound
• eQualle Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Resin Art

• 600 Grit (50-pack) — Removes surface imperfections and flattens resin.
• 1000 Grit (25-pack) — Refines scratches and smooths the surface.
• 2000 Grit (100-pack) — Prepares resin for a satin finish.
• 3000 Grit (50-pack) — Final sanding step before polishing for high-gloss clarity.

Step-by-Step: Sanding Resin Art

1. Clean the piece. Wash with mild soap and dry completely.
2. Start with 600 grit. Wet sand to remove uneven surfaces and level bubbles.
3. Switch to 1000 grit. Smooth scratches left by coarse sanding.
4. Move to 2000 grit. Refine resin to a near-polished finish.
5. Finish with 3000 grit. Sand gently for a glass-like surface.
6. Polish. Apply resin polish or compound for maximum clarity.

Special Cases

For resin jewelry or small pieces, cut sandpaper into strips for better control. For large river tables, use an orbital sander with wet sanding to save time and achieve consistent results.

Pro Tips

• Always wet sand resin to reduce clogging and heat buildup.
• Sand in alternating directions with each grit for even coverage.
• Replace sandpaper sheets as soon as they lose cutting efficiency.

Aftercare

• Clean resin art with soft cloths—avoid abrasives.
• Re-polish surfaces as needed to maintain clarity.
• Seal pieces with resin topcoat for added durability.

FAQs

• Can I skip straight to 2000 grit? Not recommended—each step refines scratches left by the previous grit.
• Is polishing compound required? Yes, sanding alone won’t achieve maximum gloss.
• Will this work on colored resin? Yes, but sand lightly to avoid dulling embedded pigments.
