Hi I have made many river tables now with this same method but in this translucent black I have a problem. I have a line in the resin that follows the shape of my live edge the resin is rock solid it's been on my router sled so it's not a surface problem either the top of the table has the problem but the bottom is very dark  like the pigment has dropped to the bottom in places. It's 100% mixed properly and never had anything like this happen before and to follow a uniform line on the live edge I no somethings up but have no clue what it's was done in two pours at 20mm each I need an answer for this it's driven me crazy all week

You could sand way a couple of mm of the resin then backfill with properly pigmented resin to hide it?  That may be a way to recover it.

I would certainly go for solid colour pigments on future tables if that is the effect you want.
