Hi everyone.
I requested some help earlier and had a lot of advice going forward. Thank you to those offering assistance, but I’m back.
I sanded down to a 2000 grit sandpaper. I followed the instruction (minimal instructions) that came with the Jue Fish polish and gloss kit I got off Amazon, before all the previous advice. It didn’t do anything. It’s still hazy. I tried Auto Glym, not sure where that advice came from but…. I still have a hazy base. I wanted to try just the base and make sure everything worked before I moved onto the rest of the cube since this rose has a huge sentimental significance.
Do I need to sand more?
I used the sponge to apply the polish and the fluffy one for the polish. Was that correct?

Hi everyone
I’m very new to this resin art form and I’ve hit a few snags. I’m preserving this rose for my niece. I’d from my mom’s, her grandmother’s, funeral. I practice on a few other flowers with horrible results. After buying different epoxy and vacuum chamber, things were getting better. I decided to take the plunge and do the rose. Problem #1 - I sanded the base to get rid of the very short corners and to level it off, but even after using a sanding kit, including 10,000 grit paper, I can’t get rid of the scratches. Problem #2 - I seem to have these little dots that look like water spots, on the sides and top. To try to get rid of both problems, I purchased a resin scratch repair and polish kit, with no luck.
Can someone please tell me how I can get rid of these marks? Thank you.
