How much epoxy resin do I need for my project?
Calculate volume in cubic inches (length × width × depth), then divide by the coverage rate of your specific resin. Our calculator handles the math and accounts for mixing ratios.

**Measure twice, cut once.** This applies to everything, not just wood. **Buy 10-15% extra** of any material that can't be easily matched later (epoxy resin, specific paint colors, patterned materials). **Prep work is 80% of the job.** Proper surface preparation makes the difference between professional and amateur results. **Start small** with new materials or techniques before committing to a large project.
Calculate volume in cubic inches (length × width × depth), then divide by the coverage rate of your specific resin. Our calculator handles the math and accounts for mixing ratios.
Calculate the cubic feet needed (length × width × depth in feet), then divide by the bag size. A 4x4x1 foot bed needs 16 cubic feet—about eight 2-cubic-foot bags.
Measure wall height and total width, subtract window/door areas, and account for pattern repeat. Most standard rolls cover 28-30 square feet usable area.
For most fences, space posts 6-8 feet apart. Divide total fence length by post spacing and add 1. Our calculator also estimates rails and boards.
Wick size depends on container diameter. Generally, use a small wick for containers under 2 inches, medium for 2-3 inches, and large for 3+ inches.
Bury 1/3 of the total post length underground. For a 6-foot fence, use 8-foot posts with 2 feet buried. In cold climates, posts should extend below the frost line.
A common recommendation is 40% topsoil, 40% compost, and 20% drainage material (perlite or vermiculite). This provides nutrients, moisture retention, and proper drainage.
Warm resin slightly before mixing, mix slowly, and use a heat gun or torch to pop surface bubbles within 20 minutes of pouring. Work in a warm, dust-free environment.
