"Yeah, I've tried playing with magnets at times, but frankly I think they are always fiddly and the "what" they solve is rarely worth that effort. "

Did the second pour shrink less?
I think the resin looks good. Does it ever reach an elastic state where you could work some ripples into the surface?
I suspect that it might. As it sets, it becomes increasingly inelastic, so that there is likely some small window of opportunity where you could manipulate the surface. I watched a YouTube with someone using a heat gun and flame gun on their resin. It looked like it could create ripples as well.
Oh yeah, apparently cat hair is still a thing in the year 40,000
Why reinvent the wheel? Blob two part epoxy resin on the surface and agitate with a popsicle stick until it starts to set.
Here is an example of mine... Full technique here... It is an easier solution that will not damage the surface.
Cat hair, especially long hairs, used together deliberately, can be amazing foliage. WHISKERS are quite handy for antennae, think personal or vehicular gear. Or insectoid monsters!!
