For mold lines and surface imperfections, this is what I do....
First I remove any loose flashing with my fingers.
Next, I use my rotary tool with the Lasco Titanium bit (31P) and I gently remove any slight (to semi heavy) offsets and most of the mold lines.
Normally, I will not need to sand of buff...but sometimes I do.
So, with sanding sponges and/or sand paper...the surface gets sanded (used 150 and 220 grit)
Then to remove any scratches from sandpaper, or simply to buff the resin to a smooth finish and remove casting/sculpting surface roughness...buff with 0000 steel wool.
