Hi All,

My question relates to polishing a resin cast.

I have been experimenting with clear resin casting and am getting the hang of resin/fixer proportions as well as techniques such as embedments.

Once the resin piece has been released from the mould I use wet and dry sandpaper to remove the rough edges as well as to smooth the top surface (which is slightly dappled as a result of the drying process).

Obviously once the sanding process has completed (I start with a rough grit and work up to an ultra fine 2500 paper) I am left with a piece that has a cloudy surface.

I want to return this to the crystal clear still evident in the sides and the bottom.

I have read a little about this and much of the recommendations revolve around using carnauba wax to return the surface to to it's former glory. This works up to a point but I have been unable to bring back the original clarity.

Has anyone any experience of this sort of thing and could you suggest any solutions?

Thanks
