I just finished my last  penny table. I would like to ask if you have a resin in your assortment that is resistant to scratches and heat. unfortunately, glasscast is scratching very quickly and I do not know how to prevent it. my tables are not polished. the top layer is poured in a dust free chamber.

As resin systems go, GlassCast when fully cured is pretty scratch resistant. It can take a week or more for the resin to fully harden after its initial cure.  Also be extra careful on weighing and mixing properly as a slight error could leave the resin softer than usual.

Scratches in GlassCast 3 normally can be polished or worst case sanded out.
