things are relatively straightforward from here on in. let things dry completely, then sand if you like to. the sanding thing is up to you. the boards at the store have a ‘gloss coat’ which is part of the polyesther resin which I don’t use or know anything about, which is put on last or are just sprayed on to add a coat of shininess. most ‘homemade’ boards have the matte finish- which can be just as smooth, just not as glossy looking. You could continue with your sanding grits well past 400 which is always smooth, all the way to 600 or if you’re a smooth freak go to 1200, then apply buffing compound and buff, and epoxy will get shinier but not like a glossy coat. Up to you. If you have a nice pour and don’t need to do any sanding like in the photo, your epoxy will be at its glossiest….
