Hi guys. I've just poured my first river table with some nice oak. I Maybe didn't leave enough time between pours as the temperature is 13/14 degrees. It was probably too sticky still. Anyways its shrunk and I need more resin to Complete the table. It's my first time ever working with resin. If anyone has tips about pouring onto an already cured river would be greatly appreciated. Be it sanding etc. Thanks, Daniel

Hi Dsully, As I'm sure you know, the best option is actually to pour subsequent layers when the previous has reached the 'B' or 'Tack' stage of cure whereby the resin feels tacky to the touch but, when wearing gloves, no residue is lifted off on your fingertips, however, if this stage is missed then you need to wait for full cure and once fully hardened, abrade the surface with a 120-240grit abrasive paper, remove any dust and then pour the subsequent layer. The new layer will infill all of the surface scratches left in the keying process to again give a seamless bond.
