Is cured Glasscast 50 acetone resistant ? I want to dissolve some ABS in cured Glasscast 50, the exposure will only be long enough to dissolve the ABS.

Epoxy when fully cured is resistant to acetone, however it may slightly dull the surface for prolonged exposure in your case.

I want to then add some more epoxy to the surface that has been exposed to acetone.
Would the dulled surface be similar to sanding back cured epoxy to add another layer ?

It is only slight and doesn't always happen.  The older the resin the less likely it is to happen.  Certainly I would still key the surface with sandpaper prior to pouring another layer.
