If you’re planning a new resin project, calculating how much you can create with 1 kg of resin is essential. This guide helps crafters, artists, and DIYers estimate resin coverage and choose the best formula for their desired results—whether for jewellery, decorative pieces, or small castings.

Comparing Resin Yields: What You Can Make With 1 kg

Epoxy resin yield depends heavily on the mixing ratio, poured thickness, and the type of project. Typically, 1 kg of resin (including hardener) will result in approximately 900–1000 ml of usable mixed resin. This can coat, encapsulate, or cast various items depending on the desired layer thickness and mould size. The right product ensures you don’t run short or over-pour for your particular crafts.

Low-viscosity resins like “Liquidissima” fill intricate moulds and jewellery settings, while medium-viscosity options such as “One-2-One” and “Icrystal” provide better handling for decorative and surface projects. Special-purpose resins like “Trasparente” allow for thicker pours (up to 2 cm), suitable for table inlays or artistic castings. Knowing your product’s recommended layer and mixing ratio is crucial to accurate project planning.

Visualising Project Volume with 1 kg of Resin

Picture filling multiple silicone jewellery moulds, coating a tabletop, and creating small castings—all possible with 1 kg of resin, depending on thickness and product type. Refer to each product’s advised pour depth for best results.

“One-2-One” – Epoxy Resin for Handcraft, 1:1 Mixing Ratio

The “One-2-One” – Epoxy Resin for Handcraft, 1:1 Mixing Ratio is designed for decorative crafts and beginners who want reliable outcomes. Its 1:1 mixing ratio by volume means 1 kg of resin and hardener will make close to 1 litre of ready-to-pour mixture. This is ideal for smaller coatings, doming, cabochons, and detailed handcraft projects.

Easy 1:1 equal-parts by volume mixing ratio simplifies preparation and reduces the risk of mixing errors. Non-toxic formulation suitable for safe crafting makes it perfect for hobby environments, while its UV filter to reduce yellowing with a 10-year warranty and crystal clear, super-glossy finish with high transparency provide lasting results. Durable against scratches and moisture, it’s best for crafters making jewellery, key fobs, charms, or coating artworks.

“Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin for Casting – Up to 2cm

For projects requiring deeper pours and exceptional clarity, the “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin for Casting – Up to 2cm is an excellent choice. With 1 kg (roughly 950 ml of mixed resin), you can fill a mould up to 2 cm thick and create crystal-clear paperweights, small cast tabletops, and detailed art pieces. “Trasparente” is also popular for memorial jewellery and small encapsulations.

Certified non-toxic and solvent-free formula suitable for indoor use assures safe handling, while an integrated UV filter provides protection against yellowing with a 10-year warranty. Its low viscosity and self-levelling for a bubble-free, glossy finish make it suitable for pours requiring clarity and precision. Estimate coverage for a 2 cm-thick layer: one 10 cm x 40 cm x 2 cm block would require almost exactly 1 kg.

“Icrystal” – Clear Epoxy Resin – Odourless Formula – Up to 1.5cm

The “Icrystal” – Clear Epoxy Resin – Odourless Formula – Up to 1.5cm is well-suited for surface coatings, thin-layer casting, and flat artworks. A 1 kg package, mixed at a 2:1 ratio, yields enough resin for approximately 65 x 65 cm at 1 mm thickness or multiple smaller moulds up to 1.5 cm thick. Its odourless property is ideal for home studios or multi-use spaces.

Crystal clear and odourless with high scratch resistance, “Icrystal” shines when used on tabletops or as a finishing coat. It’s suitable for layers up to 1.5cm per application, and featuring a UV filter for protection against yellowing guarantees vibrancy in your finished work. For wood, canvas, tiles, or jewellery inserts, it’s an effective, user-friendly solution.

“Liquidissima” – Epoxy Resin For Creations & Jewellery

If you intend to create fine jewellery or intricate decorative items, “Liquidissima” – Epoxy Resin For Creations & Jewellery is engineered for you. Its low viscosity means it flows into complex moulds, delivering flawless, bubble-free results for small castings. With 1 kg, you can fill dozens of standard silicone jewellery moulds averaging 2–10 ml each, ideal for batch production and experimentation.

Crystal clear transparency suitable for thick pours ensures your creations have a water-clear look. Low viscosity for excellent flow into intricate moulds and a special blend minimises air bubbles and surface imperfections. Long working time allows for elaborate casting and detailed work, while compatible with epoxy dyes (0.1%-2%) for colour customisation lets you personalise every piece. Glossy, self-levelling finish providing professional appearance and an ethical formula, cruelty free and vegan friendly round out the appeal for professional artists and crafters.

Tips for Maximising Resin Yield per Kilo

To get the most from every kilogram, always calculate both the total project volume (L x W x H in cm, then divide by 1,000 for litres) and the recommended maximum layer per resin type. For thin coatings, 1 kg can cover a larger surface; for casting, stick to recommended maximum thickness to avoid heat build-up or cloudiness. Weigh carefully and mix slowly to prevent waste from air bubbles or improper ratios. Choose the best resin by matching project size, target finish, and application method.

Smart Calculations Make Resin Go Further

Use volume calculators and always pour within suggested guidelines. For best value, multipurpose epoxy resins help stretch your project coverage, while specialist formulas optimise clarity, strength, or flow for specific creations.
