Tips: Although most people are quite happy with the finish when resin is cast and taken out of its mould, the surface is somewhat dull. In addition, the resin has a tendency to pick up lines and other little flaws from the mould. To achieve a shiny finish, there are a couple of different methods Jewellery makers use.
One method is to wait until your castings have fully hardened. This time can vary according to temperature etc. But this could be after 24 hours. You then need to Sand and Polish your Resin Castings using various grades of Wet and Dry Sandpaper. This can be time consuming but satisfying for those that take pride in handfinishing their jewellery.
Another method that is quicker and easier is to re-coat your castings is to stick your flat side of the cabochon down with Duct tape, then simply brush on/re-applying a thin layer of resin to the outside if you want that super glossy, glassy finish!
