I wouldn’t prime until you’re sure the resin has stopped leaking. My…. erm….. friend tried this and it made a right horrible mess of my…. erm, his display shelf.

You could try drilling a few holes in inconspicuous places to encourage the uncured resin to leak out in a more controlled manner? In my case, I printed a sofa in translucent resin – I could see the uncured stuff sloshing around inside but didn’t realise it was a problem until I painted it (with super-heavy layers of primer to get it to stick to the sticky, sweaty resin-y surface) and the back cracked open and it leaked everywhere. At the time, I had a couple of other furniture items, similarly filled with resin, so drilled holes in the bottom and they “dried out” after a week or so.

Well, not my case, of course. My friends…..
