It says to mix 4 oz of part A with 4oz of part B for a total of 8 oz. How many coasters is that going to make. I assume it is more than 4 or is it a typo
Thanks in advance for your response
Hello Jack,
Here’s how to calculate how much epoxy you need for any project. First, calculate cubic inches. If you’re filling a mold you can use the depth of the mold, if you’re doing a table top type pour those typically end up at about 1/8” – 1/4″ thick.
Multiply depth x width x length of the pour. If the coasters are 4” x 4”….
.125 x 4 x 4 = 8 cubic inches. Multiply the result by .55 to convert cubic inches to ounces. So, if the coasters are 4×4 and you pour between 1/8” and 1/4″ thick and lose a little epoxy to drips, 8 ounces total of epoxy would do it.
Sincerely,

I realize that “ethics” is a highly subjective term and that everyone (and every corporation) has every right to draw the line wherever they feel appropriate. i really do.
That said and fully meant, it seems kind of like a “come on” or “bait and switch” when a vendor offers “5 Plans for Free” and then when opened the first one I find a “plan” with two pages: The first a list with almost every supply item linked to Amazon. Nice is nice and helpful. While I know that it is likely that each of those links will lead to a specific vendor and result in a small kick-back to the link creator. Even if this is disclosed, it is not made readily apparent to the non-suspicious reader.
Additionally, is a one page how-to-assemble (without any of the details of how to prepare and use the resin) really a project plan? Or would it more accurately be described as a sales presentation for essential how-to knowledge? Everyone can make that decision but only when they know about it before hand.
Ironically, I MAY go ahead and BUY the missing key part; BUT (and it’s important) going forward I will be less likely to even look over the details of WWGA offers. Maybe this comes down to whether WWGA sees itself more a a Guild or a cleverly named for profit vendor.

I dont Understand what you use for a mold with this epoxy
