Hi everybody,

How do you restore a full gloss finish on EG160 after making some repairs? Searching for best practice 😉

Epoxy surface coats are typically really difficult to polish. S120 may be the best way to restore a full gloss.

EG160 isn't too bad to polish, you need to work through finer grits of wet/dry abrasive papers up to around 1500grit before switching to a suitable polishing compound and you should restore the gloss to a level similar to that of the rest of the mould surface.

NW1 for sure but I would avoid EasyGloss because of the Wax content; if you had it, you could finsih with some of the TopFinish2.
