There are small areas where the resin is a bit thin and wondered if it's possible re-coat these areas with small amount of resin to thicken it up a bit. Or is it a case of having to pour another whole area over the whole floor?....it's about 1.5 metres square? Thanks

As the floor has fully hardened, you will need to key the surface with sandpaper to help the resin get a good bond. Then pour the second layer to fill in the low spots. Once fully cured, you can use wet and dry sandpaper to blend the edges of the new resin in with the old and then bring back to a high gloss using a modern Polishing Compound Hi Warren, many thanks for the info' - that's great to hear will give it a go. Thanks, again

Of your using epoxy then I don' think it was mixed well enough of its still tacky and soft

That was what I thought. Is there anything that can be done or should I scrap it? Thanks for replying!

You will likely need to begin the wonderfully enjoyable task of removing the uncured resin via a combination of scraping and acetone. If you have areas of resin that have cured, you will need to...

Thank you so much for your reply. I thought as much. How gutting :(

Initially try heat to see if it forces the resin to cure. Otherwise Honaldo is right in that you would need to remove the uncured resin and re-pour fresh. Depending exactly how bad it is, it may well...

in my opinion sanding doesn't work, if you are trying to keep the pennys. if epoxy isn't cured properly, sanding usually leads to getting all the dust rubbed into the epoxy, so your penny floor optic...
