Uneven Surface An uneven surface in the clear epoxy resin can result from improper pouring or uneven spreading. To rectify, sand down the uneven areas with progressively finer grits of sandpaper. This levels the surface and prepares it for a smooth, polished finish.

Sticky Or Tacky Resin Sticky or tacky epoxy resin is often due to incorrect mixing ratios or insufficient curing time. Lightly sand the surface, then apply a new layer of properly mixed resin. This layer should cure to a smooth, non-tacky finish.

Overflow Or Drips When epoxy resin overflows or leaves unwanted drips, allow it to cure fully, then carefully scrape off the excess using a sharp tool. Afterwards, sand the area and apply a thin layer of fresh resin for a seamless appearance.

Incomplete Curing Incomplete curing indicates resin-to- hardener ratio issues or improper curing conditions. Sand the surface, apply properly mixed resin, and ensure accurate ratios and optimal curing temperatures for successful results.

Foreign Particles If dust or debris lands in wet resin, let it cure completely, then gently sand the area to remove the particles. Apply a clear coat of resin to restore transparency and achieve a polished look on your epoxy project.
