Hi I have made many river tables now with this same method but in this translucent black I have a problem. I have a line in the resin that follows the shape of my live edge the resin is rock solid it's been on my router sled so it's not a surface problem either the top of the table has the problem but the bottom is very dark like the pigment has dropped to the bottom in places. It's 100% mixed properly and never had anything like this happen before and to follow a uniform line on the live edge I no somethings up but have no clue what it's was done in two pours at 20mm each I need an answer for this it's driven me crazy all week

Is that mark on the surface? does it sand out? It looks like it could be where the pigments sunk a bit and there is some refraction there. or it could be where it has sunk/separated it has left a bit...

No it's not on the surface it's been on my router sled and sanded it's all the way through the resin it won't polish out I've tried it's a shame there really is not that much pigment in there it look...

You could sand way a couple of mm of the resin then backfill with properly pigmented resin to hide it? That may be a way to recover it. I would certainly go for solid colour pigments on future table...
