Can you paint glasscast onto a project?

I have a project on the go as shown. My idea (if it’s possible) is to mix some glasscast up and apply it by brush so painting the wood and the resin together?
Here’s the project

Hi. Yes I’ve seen the video and I’ve made a few tables. This one has been sanded down to 1500 grit then I’ve used the NW1 but I can’t get it clear enough and I still need to coat the wood so wondered if o could just paint on some resin

In theory you could, and this should bring this back up to full gloss but there is a potential of it not being completely smooth. I would suggest coating a small area, like a cut off first before moving onto the main project and see what the outcome would look like.

I am sorry i do not have better news for you.
