How to create a glossy layer on matte resin



Surface Preparation for Matte Finish

To achieve a flawless matte finish, proper surface preparation is essential. Begin by using fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the matte resin, ensuring a smooth and uniform base free of imperfections. Next, thoroughly clean the surface with a damp cloth to eliminate any dust residues, and ensure it is completely dry before proceeding with the next steps.

Applying the Glossy Layer

Once the matte surface is adequately prepared, it's time to apply the glossy layer for a stunning final result. For optimal outcomes, we recommend using a specialized product like RESINPRO's transparent resin. Follow the manufacturer's instructions meticulously to measure and mix the gloss enhancer with the resin. Apply the mixture onto the prepared surfaces with a soft brush, ensuring even distribution for a consistent finish.

Drying and Finishing

After applying the glossy layer onto the matte resin, allow it to dry in a well-ventilated area shielded from dust and external agents. Adhere to the manufacturer's suggested drying times to ensure proper curing of the gloss enhancer. Once fully dry, assess if additional layers are necessary to achieve the desired level of shine.

Tips for Maintaining the Gloss

To preserve the glossy layer's shine on the matte resin over time, prevent exposure to heat sources and direct sunlight. When cleaning, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the surface, avoiding harsh products that may compromise the gloss. If needed, a light application of gloss enhancer can be reapplied to restore the original shine.
