How Much Resin Do You Need for a 50x70cm Tabletop, 5cm Deep?

Deep pour epoxy resin tables are growing in popularity for their stunning looks and robust finish. Before starting your 50x70cm table with a 5cm deep pour, it’s essential to work out the right resin amount—this ensures a seamless casting process from start to finish.

How Much Resin To Use (50x70cm at 5cm Deep)

For a tabletop measuring 50x70cm and poured to a 5cm thickness, you’ll need approximately 19.5kg of deep-pour epoxy resin. This is based on the volume calculation (0.5m x 0.7m x 0.05m = 0.0175m³), with the typical density of epoxy resin. Choosing a product designed for thicker pours, such as EpoxyTable 5-Five, will give the best results for this type of project.

Choosing and Preparing Your Resin

Deep-pour projects demand resin that cures reliably in thicker layers. EpoxyTable 5-Five is specifically developed for pours up to 5cm, reducing risks of overheating and ensuring clarity. Make sure your workspace is level and free from dust, and prepare your mould or form before mixing. Gather tools for precise measurement—the accuracy of your resin and hardener mix matters greatly for achieving a successful, even surface.

Practical Dosing and Mixing Tips

Weigh your resin and hardener using digital scales for accuracy—this is crucial at larger quantities to maintain performance.
Use a graduated measuring cup to monitor volumes during mixing. For very large projects, prepare to mix in smaller, manageable batches to ensure a thorough blend without rushing.
Allow for a slow stir to avoid trapping bubbles in your deep pour and pay attention to the manufacturer’s recommended working times.

When This Matters

Working out the correct amount of resin is vital for deep, large projects. Over- or underestimating can disrupt workflow or compromise the quality of your finish, particularly with thicker pours where resin setting and clarity are at stake.
