The River-Table Complete Kit offers everything you need, including clear epoxy resin, formwork sealant, colour pigments, and polishing supplies, as well as step-by-step instructions.

Alternative Options for Table Resin Projects
If you prefer to select individual components or want a resin with specific characteristics, consider the EpoxyTable 5-Five for pours up to 5cm thick. This is well-suited for medium-depth table features and offers a clear, bubble-resistant finish. For smaller projects or where you want to experiment with colours, the Trasparente Epoxy Resin Kit provides both transparent resin and mica powder in a user-friendly bundle, perfect for creative designs and accents.
Key Supporting Products: Bases and Food-Safe Coatings
Get Started To cast an epoxy resin table, you’ll need more than creativity and patience; the right supporting products make the process straightforward and rewarding. Most successful projects combine a robust MDF base, food-safe coatings, vibrant resin pigment, and a resin system matched to your desired thickness and clarity. Choosing a coating that is suitable for food contact is particularly important if your finished table will be used in kitchens or dining areas. These specialist coatings help protect both your epoxy and your wood base, delivering a durable and safe finish that stands up to everyday use.
“River-Table” – Complete Kit for Creating Your First Epoxy Resin Table : An all-in-one kit perfect for beginners, including resin, pigments, and sealing products that support a smooth and long-lasting finish with food-safe potential when properly applied.
When This Matters: Pours and Project Scale
When starting out, it’s best to stick to smaller table sizes and moderate pour depths (generally up to about 5cm) to avoid complications like excessive heat build-up or curing issues. Simple, all-in-one kits help avoid mistakes with mixing ratios and material choices, while more advanced resins are available as your confidence grows.
