Table Top Epoxy Resin Kit for Countertop, Bar Top Coatings

Table top epoxy resin is a clear, self-leveling coating made for protective topcoats on tables, bar tops, countertops, and furniture. Craft Resin Table Top Epoxy cures into a hard, high-gloss surface that helps resist moisture, stains, and everyday wear. It’s designed for thin flood coats that form one smooth, continuous “glass-like” film - not deep castings.

Quick workflow: Prep the surface → measure 1:1 by volume → mix thoroughly (3–5 minutes) → pour and spread → remove bubbles with gentle heat → cover to protect from dust while curing. Read full step-by-step guide

Craft Resin Table Top Epoxy mixes 1:1 by volume (equal parts resin and hardener). Measure carefully, then mix thoroughly, scraping the sides and bottom as you go. For best consistency - especially for beginners - use a “double-mix”: mix, pour into a clean cup, then mix again. Accurate measuring and complete mixing help prevent soft spots and tacky areas.

Craft Resin Table Top Epoxy should be applied in thin layers, up to ≈3 mm per coat. Applying thin layers ensures optimal clarity, proper curing, and a smooth self-leveling finish without overheating.

At room temperature (21-27° C), Craft Resin has a working time of about 25 minutes on a 100 g mix at 25°C (77°F); larger mixes give less time. The surface is dry in about 6 hours and reaches a hard cure in 36–48 hours. Leave it undisturbed for 72 hours before kitchen or worktop use.

Craft Resin Table Top Epoxy is formulated to help bubbles release, but technique still matters. Mix without whipping extra air in, pour evenly, then lightly pass a torch or heat gun over the surface to pop microbubbles. Avoid overheating one spot. A thin seal coat on porous wood can reduce bubble “outgassing” and improve the final glass-like finish.

Suitable for incidental food contact once fully cured. This does not extend to food storage, prolonged contact, cutting surfaces, drinking vessels, serving hot food or dishwasher use. For Table Top, fully cured means 72 hours at 21–27 °C. Avoid cutting directly on the epoxy to prevent scratches, and follow the product instructions for cure and safe handling.

Table top epoxy is made for thin protective coatings that self-level into a glossy surface — ideal for flood coats on tables and counters. Deep pour epoxy is engineered for thick castings (deep molds, encapsulation, river table pours) where controlled heat and slow curing matter. If your goal is a clear topcoat, choose table top resin. If you’re filling deep volume, choose deep pour.

Craft Resin is formulated to be yellowing-resistant and helps resist yellowing over time. It is not immune to yellowing — clarity is affected by prolonged direct sunlight — and we do not describe it as non-yellowing.

Sealing is strongly recommended on porous or uneven wood. A thin seal coat helps reduce air release from the grain (bubbles) and prevents “dry spots” where resin soaks in unevenly. It also improves wetting so the flood coat can self-level smoothly. Clean thoroughly first — fish eyes and craters often come from silicone, wax, oils, or contaminated cleaners left on the surface.

Yes. For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick pour. If you recoat while the first layer is still slightly tacky, the next coat can bond well. If the surface is fully cured, lightly scuff-sand to create adhesion, clean the dust completely, then recoat. Keeping each layer up to ≈ 3 mm helps maintain clarity and control.

The amount depends on your surface area and the coat thickness (up to ≈ 3 mm per layer). The most accurate way is to measure your tabletop and use the Resin Calculator to estimate the exact volume for your pour. Add a small extra margin for edges and mixing loss — especially on large surfaces where coverage and leveling matter.

It can be used to coat tumblers for a smooth, glossy finish. We recommend using epoxy on the exterior only. Avoid applying epoxy to surfaces that contact hot liquids or the mouth/lips, or the inside of the cup.

We don’t recommend it for flooring. Floors typically require specialty systems designed for abrasion resistance and traction.

After curing, it’s rated heat resistant up to 90°C / 194°F after a full 21-day cure. For best long-term appearance, use trivets or coasters for very hot items (especially pots and pans).

Due to its high viscosity, some bubbles may get trapped. We recommend using a heat gun or torch right after pouring to release them in cool environments or on porous surfaces like wood or stone
