Clear Resin Epoxy Resin Kit - 64 oz

It depends on the depth. For shallow river tables under ¼ inch per layer, 64 oz works for small pieces or as a top coat across multiple sessions. For true deep pour river tables with channels over 1 inch deep, you'll want a dedicated deep pour formula and likely gallon-level volume. The 64 oz kit shines for smaller furniture work, serving boards, side tables, and projects where you build up the resin in shallow layers rather than one thick pour.

You'll get more resin per dollar with the 64 oz size, which is the main reason crafters move up. The formula is identical across both kits, so performance doesn't change. The trade-off is shelf life: once opened, plan to use the resin within six months. Two 32 oz kits give you flexibility to space out purchases, while the 64 oz works best if you have a clear project pipeline that uses the full volume within a few months of opening.

Technically yes, but it's usually a mistake. A large mixed volume in a single cup builds up heat (called exotherm) as the chemical reaction accelerates, which can cause the resin to flash cure, turn yellow, or even smoke. For most projects, mix in batches of 8 to 16 oz at a time and pour each batch before mixing the next. If you absolutely need a single large pour, transfer the mixed resin into a shallow, wide container immediately after stirring to dissipate heat.

Absolutely. The 64 oz size is one of the more popular choices for tumbler artists and jewelry makers because it gives you enough volume for 16 to 24 tumblers or over 100 jewelry pieces without forcing a gallon commitment. The crystal clear, UV-resistant cure shows off pigments, glitters, and inclusions beautifully. For tumblers, plan two to three thin coats per piece for the best finish, and rotate them on a cup turner during cure to prevent drips.

Yes. The clear base accepts colorants well. Mica powders and resin-specific pigment pastes give the cleanest, most consistent color. Alcohol inks produce translucent effects but are flammable, so be cautious near torches. Acrylic paint works in small amounts (under 6 percent of total volume), though heavier doses interfere with curing. With 64 oz to work with, you have room to experiment across multiple test batches before committing to your final project colors.

Once fully cured at 72 hours, the resin is considered safe for incidental food contact. That covers coasters, serving boards, charcuterie trays, and decorative bowls. The resin is not designed for sustained heat exposure (hot pans straight from the oven) or for drinkware holding boiling liquids. Always wait the full 72 hours before any food contact, hand-wash finished pieces, and avoid abrasive scrubbers to keep the surface glossy and intact over time.

Sealed bottles hold their performance for about one year when stored in a cool, dark spot. Once opened, plan to use the resin within six months for the cleanest results. The hardener may take on a faint amber tint over time as air reaches it, but that's cosmetic and disappears once mixed. Keep caps sealed tightly, avoid direct sunlight, and don't store in garages or sheds that swing between hot and cold seasonally; temperature stability matters more than people realize.

Bubbles usually come from cold resin, fast stirring, or porous substrates like raw wood. Soft or sticky spots point to off-ratio mixing or under-stirring. Cloudiness almost always traces back to moisture (damp cups, humid rooms) or components that were too cold when mixed. The fixes: warm the bottles in a water bath first, mix slowly for the full 2 to 3 minutes scraping the sides, work in a dry space, and seal porous surfaces with a thin pre-coat before the main pour.

Yes. Epoxy King provides a Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for both resin and hardener directly on the product page. For troubleshooting questions, their support team can be reached at the contact information on the site. When you reach out, having a few details ready speeds up the conversation: room temperature during your pour, mix time, layer thickness, and a photo of the cured surface. That context helps the team identify the issue quickly.
