Hi all.
Im after a pointer as to what you do to get a perfect smooth glossy Finnish with eh resin/glass.

Do you keep applying resin over the first coat to slowly take away the rough matt finish until its totally covered and smooth?
if so should this be done at any certain time before the first layer sets etc.? :D

Light fill coat of epoxy, light sanding to even the surface. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Thin layers is the way to do it.
