Hi, is it possible to lay a second layer of resin onto a fully cured floor (3-5mm). 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

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 be virtually impossible to remove it all without damaging the embedded pennies.

Use a sander to quickly take down the resin but stop just short of the pennys.  At that point reassess.  If its all hard resin  then you are ok.  If it is still  jelly/gloopy liquid in places, if you have access, mop it up, clean with acetone  until everything is dry and you should be ok.

Its a lot of work  but in most cases it is doable to recover to a point you can pour again.
