Working it out

48 × 24 × 1 = 1,152 in³ ÷ 231 = 4.99 gal × 1.10 = 5.49 gal

A US gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches. The 10% allowance covers resin left in mixing buckets, small leaks and resin absorbed by the wood. For a full slab casting, deduct the volume of any wood or objects embedded in the pour.

Maximum depths are the manufacturers’ figures at normal room temperature; some apply only up to a set volume per pour (EcoPoxy FlowCast: 30 L) or to moulds (Stone Coat’s 3 in per layer), and Stone Coat says not to mix more than 5 gallons at a time. Larger volumes and warmer rooms reduce the safe depth. Mix ratios are by volume.

Pour within the label. Pouring deeper than a product’s rated depth can overheat and crack the epoxy. Follow the instructions and safety data sheet for your product.
