Video description

Welcome back guys! This video will include processes of sanding from a very low grit all the way up to 8000, followed by how I do a 3 step polishing process to get you a GLASS like surface. This olive wood casted piece was a failed epoxy pour attempt, no better way to show you how you can put lipstick on pig! You can apply these tequniques to various finishes, I’ve used it on epoxy, acrylic/plexi-glass, conversion varnish, 2k urethane automotive finish, and also raw wood (minus the water/compounds).
