A clear guide to accurate epoxy resin mixing ratios for your project

If you want crystal clear, flawless results from your epoxy resin projects—be it jewellery, deep pour tables, or creative art—accurate resin-to-hardener mixing is vital. This guide helps you understand the importance of correct proportions, explains how to choose between volume and weight measurements, and compares top ResinPro products so you can select the right resin for all your casting needs, regardless of skill level.

Epoxy Resin Proportion Basics: Overview and Comparison

The durability, clarity, and finish of your epoxy creations all depend on getting the proportions right. Some resins require a 1:1 (by volume) mix, while others need precise ratios by weight—such as 100:55. Choosing the right product not only streamlines preparation but also ensures repeatable, reliable results. Below, we compare the key features of ResinPro’s bestselling resins, highlighting differences in mixing ratios, best-use scenarios, and typical pitfalls to avoid.

Tips for Success When Mixing Epoxy Resin

Always follow the specific mixing instructions for your chosen resin—volume-based resins such as “One-2-One” do not require weighing, but deep pour resins nearly always do. Use clean containers and mix slowly to avoid trapping air. For deep projects, pour in layers and allow each to partially cure before adding the next. Choice of epoxy types for up to 2cm or 5cm pours per application means you can match resin type to your design, surface, or depth, further reducing the risk of curing issues.
