I recently poured a 2-part epoxy top on a new table I built. The first pour went fine and cured fine. The second pour went fine, but when it cured it had swirl marks on the surface. They look almost like gas swirls on top of water. I tried alcahol to clean the top. Did'nt work. anyone know what I can try next?

Try buffing it off. Will require an automotive buffer (and will require that you want a really high gloss mirror finish). You can pick up a cheapie at Harbor Freight if you don't have one. Use it to apply one or more of these abrasives....
Use Automotive polishing compound first. If that doesn't work, use "rubbing compound" which is grittier. The follow up with polishing compound.
