    The durability of cold-set epoxy resins is based on their hardener.
    The hardeners available for the Colores resins cannot be polished
    after the fact. There are other hardeners available from other
    sources that will allow some polishing, and there are after-coats
    that can be put on that will also allow for a polished look. I do
    not recommend the Colores hardeners for uses other than earrings and
    pendants.
