Epoxy resin quantities

Epoxy Resin Quantity: How to Choose the Right Product

Epoxy resin requirements mainly depend on your project’s size, surface area, and thickness of the pour. For deep pours in river tables or large-scale castings, specialist resins such as “EpoxyTable 5-Five” and “Epoxytable 10-Ten” are optimised for thickness up to 5cm and 10cm respectively, providing clarity and safety during curing. Kits like the “Stone Effect Collection” offer complete solutions where coverage is calculated per square metre, ideal for surface renovations. Kits such as the “River-Table” pack provide pre-measured quantities for typical table builds, removing the guesswork for beginners.

Key differences include maximum casting thickness per pour, suitable project types, and the method of calculating quantities: by depth and volume for pours, or by surface area for coatings and countertop kits. Choosing the right formula prevents issues like uneven curing, wasted resin, or coverage shortfalls.

Epoxy Coverage and Volume in Practice

Deep pour epoxy products like EpoxyTable 5-Five and Epoxytable 10-Ten enable precise calculations for various table sizes and depths. For surface coatings, kits with defined coverage help you determine exactly what is needed for worktop or decorative projects.

“EpoxyTable 5-Five” – For Medium Depth Tables and Castings (Up to 5cm)

Designed for tables, countertops, and medium-depth furniture projects, “EpoxyTable 5-Five” is perfect for resin pours up to 5cm in a single layer. Its low exothermic reaction prevents overheating for thicker builds, while strong UV filters provide non-yellowing clarity for five years. The product’s low viscosity ensures a bubble-free, high-gloss finish, and high mechanical resistance delivers a scratchproof surface.

Importantly, this resin enables accurate estimation of quantity for medium-depth castings by measuring length × width × height (thickness). This makes it an excellent choice for those planning new tabletops or artistic projects where a consistent clear layer up to 5cm is required.

“Epoxytable 10-Ten” – The Solution for Deep Pours (Up to 10cm)

If your project demands pours up to 10cm depth, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” is specifically formulated for this purpose. This resin’s super-low viscosity and low exotherm make it ideal for river tables, thick sculptures, and very large castings. Its clarity is protected by advanced UV filters for extended non-yellowing performance.

For extra-large projects, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” allows you to calculate volume requirements accurately and perform thicker pours with minimal risk. Simply measure your intended casting volume and select the right pack size for projects ranging from river tables to custom installations.

“Stone Effect Collection” – Precise Kits for Countertops and Surface Effects

Transforming kitchen or bathroom surfaces with a marble or stone look requires an epoxy resin system with ingredients carefully measured for even coverage. The “Stone Effect Collection” provides all-in-one kits with resin, pigments, dyes, and finishing tools. Coverage options (1–8 m²) are precisely calculated to match the dimensions of your project, taking the guesswork out of ordering.

This kit is self-levelling, forgiving for beginners, and delivers a professional, wear-resistant finish—perfect for anyone needing confidence in both the mixing ratio and the total quantity of resin required.

“River-Table” Kit – All-Inclusive Resin and Tools for Your First Table Project

For beginners or those seeking a simplified experience, the “River-Table” – Complete Kit for Creating Your First Epoxy Resin Table offers everything required: resin, hardener, silicone sealant, pigments, polishing system, and detailed step-by-step instructions. Kits are designed to replicate the popular 2/3 wood to 1/3 resin proportions, with resin quantities calculated for thicknesses of 2cm or 5cm per pour, depending on kit option.

Choosing this solution ensures you purchase the correct volume for typical river table layouts, from small to full-length designs, avoiding both shortages and excess material. Every item and the mixing ratio are matched to your project, supporting an accurate, frustration-free build.

Tips for Accurate Epoxy Quantity Calculation

Always measure your intended pour dimensions—length, width, and thickness—to calculate required resin volume for deep castings. For surface projects, multiply the length by width to find total area, then cross-reference coverage guidelines for your chosen kit. Allow a small surplus (5–10%) in case of absorption or surface texture irregularities.

For layered pours exceeding recommended depths, split the resin into multiple applications. Consult product datasheets for maximum advised thickness and weight per pour. Using a pre-packaged kit, like the “River-Table” or “Stone Effect Collection”, simplifies the process and ensures reliable, consistent results.

Project Planning: Avoiding Surprises

Accurate measurement and planning save cost and avoid last-minute shortages. Use a resin calculator or our kit-based bundles—each matched to typical applications—to ensure smooth project execution with the best possible results.
