Not sure if you have already, but it may be worth watching our resin river table tutorial as near the end of the tutorial, we simply add some danish oil to the wood and polish the resin using the NW1 polishing compound. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I would suggest coating a small area, like a cut off first before moving onto the main project and see what the outcome would look like. I am sorry i do not have better news for you.
