I guess I know what I'll be using for my "water" then! In your experience, how easy is the stuff to work with AFTER hardening? For instance, if my mold isn't completely smooth or some resin leaks into a crevice and leaves a "growth," would I be able to cut/sand the resin and polish it smooth?


I don't know of any kind of resin that you can't easily do that with. Are you familiar with wet sanding, AKA color sanding? It will give you the polished clear finish you want and has the added bonus of keeping the dust packed down with water so that you are not breathing it.
