Practical Notes

Volume conversion: Resin makers usually convert mold volume from cubic inches into fluid ounces before mixing. One cubic inch is about 0.554 fluid ounces.
Waste: Plan 5% to 10% waste for cup residue, mixing sticks, and edge scraping.
Ratio: Always mix by the ratio printed for your resin system. A 2:1 kit needs more resin than hardener.

Round coaster volume comes from the circular area and the pour depth, then a waste factor is layered on for cup and stir-stick losses.

Changing from 1:1 to 2:1 does not change the total mixed volume, but it does change how much of each bottle you need to pour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How do I calculate resin for a coaster mold?

Start with mold area times pour depth to get cubic inches, then convert to fluid ounces. The calculator does that automatically and adds waste so mixing cups and drips are covered too.

Q

How much waste should I add for epoxy coasters?

Around 5 to 10% is a sensible default for coasters. Use the high end if you flood the edges, tint heavily, or pour decorative inclusions that increase cleanup losses.

Q

How do 1:1 and 2:1 mix ratios change the recipe?

The total mixed volume stays the same, but the split changes. A 1:1 resin uses equal parts, while a 2:1 system uses roughly two-thirds resin and one-third hardener by volume.

Q

What depth should I use for resin coasters?

Many coaster molds sit around 1/8 to 3/8 inch for standard pours, though thicker decorative pours can go deeper. Always follow the mold and resin manufacturer limits for safe curing.
