Default Liquid glass resin gone wrong and need to rub back!!

I have an area of 1200x600 table top that has a veneer design with
different colours on a black background.
After pouring the dark veneers got really darker and are hardly seen, and
some areas on the black look cloudy.
I want to rub back the resin so I can add lighter veneer replacing the
dark ones and repour liquid glass resin hoping to get rid of the cloudy
areas
What grade of paper do I need and how long do I wait for liquid glass to
cure.
It has been 2 days since the first pour.


Cure depends upon what "liquid glass" is. It could be polyester resin in
which case it would be totally cured after 2 days, assuming it was catalyzed
properly. If it is epoxy, it would not be totally cured in that time but
would be sandable.

How coarse a grit? How thick is the resin? I used to use something around
#16 and a very open coat with polyester. Basically use whatever grit needed
to do the job but personally, I wouldn't even think about trying to sand it
off a veneered surface
