What You’ll Need

• “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin for Casting – Up to 2cm
• “EpoxyTable 5-Five” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables and Large Projects – Up to 5cm
• “Epoxytable 10-Ten” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables, Up to 10cm Casting
• “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin
• Calculator or measuring tape
• Mixing containers and stirring sticks
• Protective gloves
• Pen and paper for calculations

Step 2: Calculate the Required Volume

Depth and shape matter most when determining resin volume. For rectangular or square surfaces, multiply length × width × thickness (in centimetres) to obtain the volume in cubic centimetres (cm³). For circular surfaces, use π × (radius²) × thickness. If you’re working with a kit like “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin, product guidance indicates optimal thickness and will often specify litre or kilo coverage per square metre. Remember: 1,000 cm³ = 1 litre of resin. For layered or deep pours, ensure you do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended thickness per pour. For example, “Trasparente” is suitable for up to 2cm; for deeper casts, consider “EpoxyTable 5-Five” for up to 5cm or “Epoxytable 10-Ten” for up to 10cm.

Step 4: Consider Surface Absorption and Sealing

Certain materials such as bare wood, porous concrete, or some pebbles will absorb more resin than smooth, non-absorbent surfaces. Account for surface absorption by sealing wood or concrete with a thin primer layer of your chosen resin before the main pour. This not only prevents bubbles but reduces unintended resin loss into the surface. For permeable floors like those created with the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit, follow product recommendations closely for optimal coverage.
