Mixing Ratio Guidance for Epoxy Resin ED

What is the Standard Mixing Ratio?

For Epoxy Resin ED products, the recommended mixing ratio is 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume or weight, unless the instructions on your specific kit state otherwise. This ratio ensures a balanced chemical reaction between the two components and is key to producing a durable, glass-like finish.

Tips for Accurate Measuring and Mixing

• Use precise measuring cups or digital scales to ensure correct proportions.
• Always pour the resin first, then add the hardener.
• Mix thoroughly but gently, scraping the sides and bottom of your mixing container, until the mixture is uniform and streak-free.
• Handle only small batches if possible, especially in warmer environments, to avoid excessive heat build-up.

For easy, transparent results on creative or furniture projects, consider the “Icrystal” – Clear Epoxy Resin – Odourless Formula – Up to 1.5cm, which follows the 2:1 ratio. Be sure to refer to the supplied product instructions for any special considerations.

When this Matters

Getting the ratio wrong can result in slow or incomplete curing, surface tackiness, or a cloudy appearance—especially important when making table coatings, jewellery moulds, or transparent artistic casts.
