I have made a wooden table top and in the centre I have cut out a rectangular shape ( 29cm by 60cm ) and glued down small ceramic tiles. The height of the inlay from top of the tiles to the level of table top is 8mm. Can I use GlassCast 30 to fill in the inlay and coat the table top all in one go, or do I need to use GlasCast 50 to fill in the inlay and pour Glasscast 30 over that and the rest of the table top.

As it is quite a thick section, the infill would cure a fair bit quicker than a thin coating.  You could be looking as quick as 4-8 hours to get the firm but tacky stage.

Ideally we recommend a sealing coat on wood surfaces  as it prevents any air in the wood from being displaced by the resin mid cure which can leave bubbles trapped in the cured resin.  Leave the sealing coat 24 hours to harden then key with sandpaper  and clean again, ready to do the main pour.
