How to Sand Resin Coasters with 2000 Grit Sandpaper Sheets

Resin coasters are popular DIY projects, but they often cure with uneven edges, bubbles, or surface imperfections. Sanding with ultra-fine abrasives ensures a smooth, glossy finish. eQualle 2000 grit wet or dry sandpaper sheets (9x11 in) are perfect for this task.

Why 2000 Grit for Resin Coasters?

2000 grit is an ultra-fine abrasive that smooths resin without leaving deep scratches. It removes haze, bubbles, and tiny ridges, leaving a frosted surface ready for polishing or recoating with resin for a glass-like shine.

Tools You’ll Need

• eQualle 2000 Grit Sandpaper sheets (9x11 in, Wet or Dry)
• Water with mild soap (for wet sanding)
• Sanding block or soft pad
• Microfiber cloths
• Resin polish or clear topcoat

Step-by-Step: Sanding Resin Coasters

1. Clean the surface. Wash the coaster to remove dust and debris.
2. Wet sand with 2000 grit. Use 2000 grit (25-pack) sheets with water to sand evenly until imperfections are removed.
3. Check progress. Wipe dry—the coaster should look evenly matte.
4. Polish or recoat. Apply resin polish or add a thin resin topcoat for a glass-like finish.
5. Final buff. Use a microfiber cloth to bring out clarity and shine.

Special Cases

For coasters with deeper imperfections, start with 1000–1500 grit before refining with 2000. For decorative designs, sand lightly to avoid scratching embedded elements.

Pro Tips

• Always wet sand resin to prevent clogging and scratches.
• Sand lightly—resin is softer than wood or metal.
• Work in circular motions for even results.
• Finish with resin polish for maximum clarity.

Aftercare

• Clean coasters gently with mild soap—avoid harsh cleaners.
• Store sandpaper sheets flat and dry between uses.
• Re-polish resin coasters periodically to maintain clarity.

FAQs

• Can I use 2000 grit alone? Yes, for light imperfections. For deeper flaws, start with coarser grits first.
• Will sanding make resin cloudy? Yes temporarily—polishing restores clarity.
• Do I need to recoat after sanding? Optional—buffing may be enough, but a resin topcoat provides long-term gloss.
