How to Pour Epoxy Resin into Your Preferred Mould

Pour the Resin into Your Preferred Mould

Poured resin takes the shape of your chosen mould, allowing you to create everything from bespoke coasters to keepsakes. The right technique and a suitable mould help you achieve a crisp, professional result every time.

Preparing Your Mould

Begin with a clean, dry mould that’s free from dust or residues—professional-grade silicone options offer flexibility and easy demoulding. Double-check your mould for any lint or hairs as these can become embedded in your finished piece. If you’re planning to add decorative items such as flowers or small tokens, arrange them before pouring the resin for the best effect.

Pouring the Resin Smoothly

Mix and degas your resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When pouring, work slowly and steadily into the lowest point of the mould, letting the resin naturally flow and fill spaces. For optimal results with flat or larger surfaces, a tool such as the Tooth Shaped Spatula for Epoxy Resin Application helps to level and spread your resin evenly, reducing bubbles and achieving a uniform layer.

When Precision Matters

Pouring with care is essential when your finished object needs crisp edges, like with coasters or decorative inserts. Flexible silicone moulds, such as the Silicone Circle Mould, are ideal for regular use and maintain consistent shapes even after multiple pours.
