In this video, I show you how to finish a dragon egg using epoxy resin and the micro mesh sanding system. I started by applying a thin layer of epoxy to the freshly sanded egg and sanding it down again to remove any high spots. I repeated this process several times to build up a thick layer of epoxy on the egg. I also waited for the epoxy to become tacky before applying each layer, so that I didn't have to sand it down again.

Once the epoxy had dried, I used the micro mesh sanding system to sand down the egg starting with a coarse grit and working my way up to a finer grit. This helped to achieve a smooth, polished surface on the egg. I also used a buffer to buff the egg and give it a shiny, polished look. Finally, I applied a coat of wax to protect the surface and give it a smooth feel. This is a fun and challenging project that requires some patience and attention to detail, but the end result is a beautiful.
