    What is the formula for figuring how much resin to buy and use for a project. I have a 3′ by 5′ foot table top I’d like to flood, with a center opening that is 5″ by 5′ long that will have tiles in it. Any help would be appreciated.

    “Getting Started with Resin” What? A two minute video, no vocal instructions, many steps skipped. These are not instructional videos. They are a promo for someone. Waste my time.

    I think working with resins could really enhance the finish of my woodworking projects. I have always been interested in the correct way to do it

      Hi Stephen. Epoxy can be removed, but it probably won’t be easy. Once it’s cured you can sand it off the surface and, if desired, pour new epoxy over the work surface.

      “Very informative”? I must have missed something. What video did you see?

    Have just started with a couple of resign table tops. My neighbor help with the first with his resign then I did a small end table with what I purchased at local store. The first took a couple days to set up and the second only about 309 minutes. What is the best resign and hardner to use that might set up in a couple hours?

      Hello William,
      I’ve had great luck with Total Boat and MAS products. As a rule deep pour products like you might use for a river table or casting can take up to seven days to fully cure. Table top products like you’d use for decorative accents fully cure, to where you can sand off drips, in about three days. Table top products are generally filmed over in a couple hours, but I’m not familiar with any products that fully cure in a couple hours.

      Each product comes with specific directions. Make sure you check that before doing a pour.

    I’ve been tinkering around a lot with Resin for past 6 mths & would love to see more ideas to help further inspire my creativity; especially those that will incorporate wood…

    That session was a little bit fast for me, I did not learn much from it. But it has made me more aware of resin and wood as another string to my bow. Thank you for your time.

      Is it not curing properly? Staying tacky? Or is your trouble having it “flash cure”?

    Thanks for the free projects. Looks just like I was thinking I needed to find as I am new the resin but have some projects for which I am currently thinking it may work. Frankly, I have been a bit “afraid” of resin (not the chemical) but the handling, timing, ability to recover from errors, mixing, etc . . . actually, I guess just about everything.

    I have a vintage cane handle made of carved bone that is hollow and a few breaks. I would like to fill it with a resin that would form inside the carving making it strong enough to use and to show off the beautiful carving
