eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Smoothing Resin Jewelry (600–3000 Grit Guide)

Resin jewelry pieces often come out of molds with sharp edges, uneven surfaces, or dull finishes. eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets are perfect for refining resin jewelry, giving each piece a polished, professional appearance.

Why Sanding Resin Jewelry Matters

Unfinished resin can look cloudy or rough. Sanding removes imperfections and gradually polishes resin to a smooth, glass-like clarity that enhances embedded designs, pigments, or inclusions.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sanding block or foam pad
• Spray bottle with water
• Microfiber cloths
• Jewelry polishing compound
• eQualle Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Resin Jewelry

• 600 Grit (50-pack) — Removes mold lines and sharp edges.
• 1000 Grit (25-pack) — Smooths surfaces and refines sanding marks.

Step-by-Step: Sanding Resin Jewelry

1. Clean the piece. Rinse resin jewelry with soap and water to remove dust and debris.
2. Start with 600 grit. Wet sand to remove edges and imperfections.
3. Switch to 1000 grit. Smooth scratches and refine the surface.
4. Move to 2000 grit. Prepare for a glossy finish with fine sanding.
5. Finish with 3000 grit. Sand lightly to achieve a crystal-clear surface.
6. Polish. Apply polishing compound for maximum shine.

Special Cases

For resin rings or small pendants, cut sandpaper into strips for precision. For colored resin, use light pressure at finer grits to maintain brightness and embedded details.

Pro Tips

• Always wet sand resin to reduce heat and avoid clogging sheets.
• Sand in small circular motions for even results.
• Work under bright light to check for scratches before moving up grits.

Aftercare

• Clean jewelry with microfiber cloths to prevent scratches.
• Re-polish as needed with 2000–3000 grit for clarity.
• Store pieces in soft pouches to protect finishes.

FAQs

• Can I skip straight to 2000 grit? No, each grit removes scratches from the previous step.
• Is polishing compound required? Yes, it enhances clarity and shine after sanding.
• Will sanding damage inclusions? Not if done carefully—sand evenly and lightly.
