lacquer may use less effort than polishing, but you know what uses even less? doing neither lolLacquer is really quite remarkable in the way it makes even the roughest and messiest shells look fantastic very quickly. Far far easier than sanding and polishing smooth. And if you airbrush (or dip even) you'll get it done even quicker.
Getting a 100% professional glass look with a clear shell still alludes me, but anything coloured or tinted will be near perfect with minimal effort. Use it!
when i have a resin printer im gonna focus on just getting a good enough finish from the printer. im far more interested in performance than looks
