The first attempt to fix the problem was because part of the resin cured slightly sticky. I thought the problem could be fixed by the wiping it down with an alcohol wipe but it just made it worse. I sanded down the top layer, wiped the area clean with a damp cloth and poured another clear coat. But now part of it looks like dirty water has dried on top of it. Should I sand it down again and pour another layer?

Hi Marina,

I’m sorry you are having these problems. What kind/brand of resin are you using?

[Marina]

Hi Katherine,

Thanks for the reply! I’m using a brand called Graffiti Resin. I’ve used it before many times and I never faced any issues with it, not sure what happened this time.

I’m not familiar with Graffiti resin. What kind is that? (epoxy, polyester, etc.)

It’s an epoxy resin. Mixes at a 10:6 ratio resin to hardener.

Hi Marina,

Yes, sand it down again and pour another layer. Make sure to end with a 1000 grit or higher sandpaper, otherwise, you will see frostiness underneath the new layer of resin.

Hi Katherine,
Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll try doing that today.

I poured too much and it has distorted and massive amounts of bubbles. Not any space to repour over if I sand it. Is there anything I can do? Please help

[Katherine Swift]

Hi Heather, I’m afraid there isn’t a way of getting bubbles out of cured resin. Can you repour and add something to the new layer to distract from the bubbles?
