If you’re new to working with epoxy resin, knowing what’s included in a starter kit can take away much of the guesswork. Let’s explore exactly what comes with beginner resin kits and how they help you achieve your first project with confidence.
What’s Inside a Beginner Resin Kit?
Complete beginner resin kits, such as the “River-Table” kit, are specifically designed to give novices a head start. You’ll find:
- Epoxy resin and hardener, suitable for layers up to 2cm or even deep pours up to 5cm (per pour depending on kit size).
- Silicone paste to reliably seal formwork and a special release film, which makes removing your finished project much easier.
- Pigments for colouring your resin and a full polishing kit (cream and multiple sanding pads) for a smooth, glossy finish.
- Comprehensive, step-by-step instructions covering everything from preparing moulds or wood, to casting and the finishing process.


Practical Tips for Getting Started
When you receive a complete kit, most of the main tools and consumables are ready to go, saving you from tracking down extra supplies for your first resin table or craft. Read the included instructions thoroughly and take your time with preparation—this helps ensure you get the best out of your kit. If your project is larger or you need speciality finishes, browse compatible resins such as “Trasparente” for clear coatings, or deep pour resins like “EpoxyTable 5-Five”.
When Does This Matter?
Choosing a beginner kit makes sense when starting out—especially for small to medium furniture, resin art, or river tables where having each essential component and clear instructions is key to avoiding common mistakes and achieving a professional-looking result.
