Do I have to sand or is there some magic I’m not aware of?

Right so I love resin stuff and despise sanding so I’ve tried a lot of things. First, sanding is actually great. Miserable process, but once you have a single piece that you like, it’s pretty trivial to mold and cast it again and again and again. Does take some equipment though for quality, repeatable results.

If you go with sanding, grab some micro mesh pads. They’re great.
