Mixing Ratio for EpoxyTable 5-Five: A Practical Guide

← Back to Which resin is best suited for a river table?

Getting the mixing ratio right for EpoxyTable 5-Five is key to ensuring a reliable cure and a beautiful, lasting finish. This guide covers how to achieve the ideal blend for your river table or deep pour project.

What Is the Correct Mixing Ratio?

For EpoxyTable 5-Five, always mix 100 parts epoxy resin to 55 parts hardener by weight. Using digital scales is essential—the accuracy of this ratio creates a balanced reaction, resulting in proper hardening, clarity, and toughness. Avoid estimating volumes, as resin and hardener densities differ, and mistakes can lead to a sticky or weakened finish.

Step-by-Step Mixing Tips

Weigh both resin and hardener separately, maintaining the 100:55 ratio by weight.
Combine the measured parts in a clean mixing bucket.
Stir thoroughly, scraping down the sides and bottom to ensure all components are well blended.
If mixing larger batches for big pours, mix slowly to minimise air bubbles.

If you’re new to deep pour projects, consider the River-Table Complete Kit, which includes epoxy, hardener, and step-by-step instructions.

When Getting the Ratio Right Matters

Accurate measuring is especially critical for thick pours, like those in river tables. An incorrect ratio can affect curing time or clarity, and may prevent the resin from setting at all. For pours above 5cm, split your application into layers, allowing each to cure before adding the next.
