Mixing your resin and hardener correctly is a crucial step for successful pours, no matter how many sessions your project requires. Let’s explore the ideal mixing ratio for EpoxyTable 5-Five and guidance for flawless casting results.
Recommended EpoxyTable 5-Five Mixing Ratio
For the best clarity and hardness, always mix EpoxyTable 5-Five at a ratio of 100 parts resin to 55 parts hardener by weight. Weighing both components accurately with digital scales ensures a complete cure and helps prevent tackiness or cloudiness. This ratio remains the same regardless of whether you’re pouring a single layer or casting in multiple sessions.
Tips for Multi-Session and Layered Pours
When your project demands several layers—such as larger table casts or deeper pours—mix each batch according to the 100:55 ratio. Allow previous layers to set but remain slightly tacky, usually 6–8 hours, before adding the next. This strategy helps achieve strong bonds between layers and avoids overheating, which is especially useful in projects with greater total resin volumes. If your work extends beyond 5cm thickness, consider the EpoxyTable 10-Ten for optimal results.
When Accurate Mixing Really Matters
Exact mixing is particularly important for larger-scale projects like tabletops or significant decorative pieces, where any imbalance can lead to surface imperfections, incomplete curing, or reduced durability. Always mix thoroughly, scraping both the sides and bottom of your container for a uniform result.
