D Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 19	Hi guys. I've just poured my first river table with some nice oak. I Maybe didn't leave enough time between pours as the temperature is 13/14 degrees. It was probably too sticky still. Anyways its shrunk and I need more resin to Complete the table. It's my first time ever working with resin. If anyone has tips about pouring onto an already cured river would be greatly appreciated. Be it sanding etc. Thanks, Daniel

The new layer will infill all of the surface scratches left in the keying process to again give a seamless bond. Thanks alot for the advice Rich, much appreciated 👍

I had a similar issue a few weeks back so you should be able to find my post easy enough. Temp should be 20 degrees for glasscast 50. Will be fine though so just scratch it up with some 240 grit paper

Wipe down with a damp cloth will remove any dust, however an IPA wipe or acetone will work well especially if there is any other dirt.

First of all try and get some heat onto the area to try and see if heat helps it cure off better. If not, if its just surface tack, purple methylated spirits can help remove the tack. Failing that yo...
