GlassCast Epoxy Surface resin - multiple pours!

Hi,

I've bought the clear cast epoxy resin for a "valley" table top I'm making. The total thickness will be approximately 28mm. The resin will only do 15mm in one pour. How do I go about doing the 2nd pour? Do I have to wait until it's full cured (several days??!) will the surface need sanding (keyed) before I pour the 2nd layer?


Also, I will need to sand the resin once fully cured, because the want the wood either side of the resin to be visible (not covered in resin) so will I need to go through all the grits 120-1500 wet dry and then use a cutting compound to polish it?


Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

The bubble are in the main coat, not the sealant coat. The seal coat was perfect.

I don't know if there was too much moisture in the air, I have now way of testing that. Sad
