Hi
I used Glass Cast 3 for my mosaic table top project. I followed the instructions measured and mixed the the resin. Once I poured it I left it to set for 48 hours. The resin had set well and was clear so I took the table top outside. The following morning I noticed some white wavey lines had appeared in the resin. Picture attached.
I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of these lines.

Thank you for the advice. I have another question. If I noticed something stuck in the resin after it set. Is there any way of getting it out. Can I warm or melt the resin in a small area to remove.....

Unfortunately once the resin has fully cured, it is not possible to soften it with heat without damaging it. You can sand that area to remove the defect and then refill with fresh resin. You will the...
