[Jewelry making - Article 00028] - [Orchid] Sanding and finishing epoxy

    I am wondering if you folks have any suggestions for sanding and
    finishing epoxy resins after they are pored and cured. I am pouring
    epoxy mixed with dry pigments into silver frames allowing it to
    harden. I want to create a mat finish to get rid of the "plastic
    look". I tried using#600  wet/dry sandpaper over the entire surface
    and this transferred silver dust to the epoxy.  I had heard somewhere
    that there are papers specifically made for plastics. Any suggestions
    would be very much appreciated. 

Regards,
Bruce Raper
