Hi Erika,

    For polishing your pieces, use wet sandpaper that goes to 12000 grit.
    Either 3M or MicroMesh will work. 3M products are available through
    Rio, Gesswein, Stuller, etc. MicroMesh I believe is available through
    Small Parts. 

    For sealing your pieces, if you want a shiny finish, use Krylon
    Acrylic Spray. For a matte look, they also have Matte Finish. 

    In order to polish your pieces, the resin must be completely dry and
    solid. If they are tacky after 24 hours, your mix ratio is not
    accurate. 

Good luck!
