Hey y’all,

I have a table project going on with an 8’ X 4’ sheet of plywood, with about 15/16” height trim along the perimeter of the plywood sheet. I have glued, sealed, and placed a variety of chew cans (590 to be exact) which obviously takes up a lot of the volume. For my first pour, I used 2” deep pour/casting resin (https://magicresin.com/collections/all-products/products/75-gallon-2-85-l-2-deep-pour-casting-art-clear-epoxy-resin-kit-free-shipping ) which has seemed to work just fine (it is currently about halfway through the process of curing). The only issue is that I was planning to do only one pour, where I would pour enough resin that it would settle about 1/16” above the trim. It turns out that I did not purchase enough resin to do only one pour. With the amount that I used (4.5 Gallons), the resin is either dead even with the top of the trim, or in some cases, just below the top of the trim. So, I obviously need to pour an additional pour to be able to achieve my desired thickness of 1/16” above my trim. This is where my questions arrives…I have table top epoxy (https://www.theepoxyresinstore.com/collections/tabletop-bar-epoxy-resin/products/crystal-clear-epoxy-resin-tabletops-bars-woodcrafter) that I could use for this second pour, however since I am a rookie, can someone clarify for me/let me know if I can pour table top epoxy over my 2” deep pour/casting epoxy?

I am planning on waiting until the casting epoxy is fully cured, and then I would sand the casting resin, and pour the table top epoxy on top to be able to achieve my desired thickness, but again, if this something that I’m able to do? I guess the only reason I initially thought that this may cause problems is because they are not only two different brands but they are two different kinds of epoxy (one is casting/deep pour and the other is table top as mentioned). Any comments, questions, tips/tricks for this would be greatly appreciated.
