Hi,

So I have sanded (120 and 400 grit) my Polyester Resin (Castin Craft) Prisms and the surface is non-tacky and looks cloudy because of all the scratch marks.  What are the best ways to get the surface clear?

I would be able to get my hands on Jewlery Rouge or an acrylic solvent based spary....

anything else work well?

Thanks for the help.

David

Well first you need a high speed buffer . You can just use regular compound for a car as I used to make stuff like this many years ago . If this doesnt work then buff with the rouge .  Make sure you hold on to it tight or it will go flying . Also , you might need to sand it with 600 grit first before buffing . Rick
