How much epoxy resin you'll need for your table:

Measure the area you will fill with epoxy to determine how much you will need. Small cracks require less resin than large castings!

AREA: Length x width X depth = Volume needed in cubic inches.

1 quart of mixed epoxy = 57.75 cubic inches

2 quarts of mixed epoxy = 115.5 cubic inches

3 quarts of mixed epoxy = 173.25 cubic inches

1 gallon of mixed epoxy = 231 cubic inches

How many layers will I need to pour?

Most river tables will require you pour multiple layers. That's because resins like low viscosity High Performance or Table Top epoxy can be poured up to 1/4" thick. Our epoxy kit features High Performance epoxy for it's versatility, relatively fast cure time, and crystal clear clarity.

A word about the various epoxy resins suitable for river tables: if you want to finish your project in a single thick pour, you'll need to use a deep pour resin that allows thick pours 2-4" thick per layer. Is deep pour the best epoxy for river tables? Keep in mind that epoxy cures via exothermic reaction, and deep pour casting resin systems require extended curing time! That deep single pour could take days to cure!

Tips: 

• After epoxy is mixed thoroughly, add mica powder pigments or liquid pigments, as desired. A little bit of pigment goes a long way!

• Use the TotalBoat Helix mixer for more thorough mixing with fewer bubbles.

• We recommend mica powder pigments or alcohol inks

• To pop bubbles, wave a heat gun back and forth quickly, above the surface.
  

• Wait 2-6 hours after pouring the first layer, before your pour the next layer.

• Do the next pour when the previous layer is still in the gel state. You don't have to wait for full cure!

• Wait about two days until the final coat of epoxy is fully cured.

• Note: Epoxy is not UV resistant. If your table will be exposed to UV light for an extended period of time, consider a top coat or three of Halcyon varnish.
