In need of epoxy resin? Here are some of the questions you should ask manufacturers before ordering.

My opinion, forget trying to calculate it if it is worth it or not. If you want to do it or just try then just buy some. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many factors go into casting. Size of blanks being made, type of blanks being made if using colors, and so forth. If clear casting you always mix more than needed and after a few trys you get a feel what is needed. Have fun. Most resins are sold by weight because it is a combined weight. Each part has a different consistency and a different weight. I am sure all aluminite types have different weight classes too. But most epoxy resins are mixed according to volume/weight. That is 2 parts resin to one part hardener. Now if you took this and measured by volume alone. you pour for example sake, 1/2 cup resin and then 1/4 cup hardener but being the weight difference you may have used too much hardener and can cause problems. When you buy epoxy resins you see they are not the same amount of liquids in both containers because again the weight difference. I am not speaking alumiite because I know 0 about the product and do not want to know because I will never use it. I am speaking of Liquid Diamonds and a bar top resin that I use. Again speaking of epoxy resins because that is what you asked. Casting resins is a whole other topic. and you could get a more accurate idea of usage because you are using one part and hardener is a catalyst measured in drops. I want to emphasize this is my opinion, there are more qualified casters here than me.
