Polished Rocks with High Gloss Resin Spray DIY

Polished Rocks with High Gloss Resin Spray–No Rock Tumbler Needed!

Hi Resin Crafters, it’s Natalie from Doodlecraft sharing a quick resin craft.  Polished rocks are shiny and smooth and can be made without expensive rock tumblers and supplies!  I love collecting rocks and typically end up carrying pounds of rocks around on hikes and trips because I love them so much.  My husband thinks I’m crazy!  Shiny wet rocks always look so amazing until they dry and become dull.  Polished rocks are the best way to keep that shine permanently!

Making polished rocks just takes a few supplies:

• Envirotex Clear High Gloss Spray
• Smooth rocks  (these were curated near the ocean, so they are round and smooth)
• Disposable work surface like a cardboard box

Place the dry rocks in a shallow cardboard box or on another disposable work surface and take them outdoors.

Then shake the High Gloss Spray can for about 30 seconds.  Then hold the can about 6-8 inches away from the rocks and spray them with a gentle mist.

Let the resin spray dry and then repeat again.  Then let the rocks dry and turn the rocks over.  Spray the other side of the rocks and repeat a second coat.

Now the rocks are especially shiny and perfectly polished! 

By using already smooth rocks, the shiny finish completes the polished look.  Just the way the rocks look with waves splashing over them.

Look at this amazing before and after side by side, the rocks are uniquely bright and vivid!  Display them in a pretty dish or adorning a small garden.  

Awesome, right?  Perfect resin craft for those pockets full of rocks after a trip to the beach or river!
