    there is some risk if not fully cured, but no doubt you'll fully
    cure your pieces. There are a number of plastic intended compounds on
    the market that will do a great job of polishing out any
    problems,except gouges, thatt may occur- think of it lie a watch
    crystal. there are also many dimensional products on the market that
    are not epoxies,or enamels like colorit, but give a rock hard, quartz
    looking domed (if you want it domed) cap to the photo. some people
    also use glass,quartz,or sapphire watch crystals and use gold or
    silver lined stained glass foils to solder the "caps" to the
    bezels..but don't worry the compouds will take care of scratches,
    etc.one thing to consider:.add a lifetime scratch removal extended
    warranty option to your pieces for an extra fee...just a thought!
