Polishing / Sanding Fail :(

[Lydia Babcock]

Hey everyone! I made these beautiful resin earrings and wanted to buff them out around the edges, which I used a rotary tool for and they turned out pretty good. But then there was a small scratch on it and I did some googling and tried to sand it out and now have scratches all over the surface that make the surface coat blurry. These were my favorite pair I’ve made and I’m determined to try to fix them- any ideas? Also, any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? I’d prefer non-toxic and safe options 🙂 Thank you so much!
