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.

It looks wet to me.  The white bits are as Oekmont said. It might with a bit of heat be close enough in ratio to fully harden off eventually.  However it has gone white due to water absorption due to getting wet.  Get it dry and somewhere warm for a few days if you can and it may drive out the moisture and fully harden off the rest of the resin

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 the object without ruining the entire table.
