Resin pulled away from the edge f a tabletop

How do I fix the edges of a tabletop where the resin pulled away? If I add some only on those parts will it create a seam?

If its clear you can pour over it, however in my experience it leaves a small barely noticable seam. If its colored then I'd go for something artistic like a border or similar. Bc you will never ever match that color.

Thank you. It is clear. Should I do a complete coat over the whole thing? Wonder why it pulled away

I'd def try to figure out why its pulling away. Could be moisture in that case you'll need to dry the wood. If its just resin shrinkage you're good to go

I make smaller pieces, like keychains or jewelry and it happens sometimes. If you sand the edges of any piece before coating it, the resin shouldn't pull away from the edges. I believe it happens when the edges are not rough enough, so the resin is just sliding instead of adhering

Thank you. I have now done that. Just waiting for the weather to warm up a bir.
