I have sanded the hell out of a resin figure and some areas are impossible to reach. What is a good medium that I could use to cover small nicks and imperfections?
 
Hi,
Something I've used for this problem is a 2 part epoxy putty. Since it will smooth out with water, I just put some on the nick and run a wet finger or cotton swab or the like over it until it blends in. I've had good results with this method.
I hope this helps.

Craig is right on the money, sometimes putty is the easiest way around. Another thing that also works really good for small scratches etc, is Testors Red Putty, if you thin it with some liquid cement, it will be a nice thin consistency, use an old brush and brush it on, and it will be dry within minutes, then take some super fine steel wool and 'blend' it in with the rest of the surface.
