How to Use This Resin Calculator

This calculator helps you determine the exact amount of epoxy resin needed for your project in the UAE. Simply select your project type (art, coating, deep pour, or flooring), choose your shape, enter dimensions in centimeters, and specify thickness in millimeters.

The calculator accounts for mixing ratios specific to each resin type: GLAIZ (1:1), Epoke Standard (3:1), Quick Coat (2:1), and Mega Cast (100:60). It automatically calculates Part A and Part B quantities in grams.

Important Tips for UAE Resin Projects

  • Temperature matters: UAE heat accelerates curing. Work in air-conditioned spaces during summer months for better control and longer working time.
  • Mix by weight: Always use a digital scale and measure in grams for accurate ratios. Volume measurements can lead to mixing errors.
  • Respect pour depth limits: GLAIZ and Epoke 3:1 max 20mm per layer, Quick Coat max 10mm, Mega Cast max 60mm. Exceeding these can cause overheating and cracking.
  • Add waste allowance: 8-10% extra for standard projects, 10-15% for complex molds or uneven surfaces to avoid running short mid-project.
  • Layer thick projects: For pieces thicker than the max pour depth, divide into multiple layers. Wait for each layer to gel before adding the next.
  • Bubble prevention: Mix slowly to minimize air incorporation, pour in a thin stream, and use a heat gun or torch lightly on the surface (don't overheat).

Choosing the Right Resin

GLAIZ Art Resin (1:1): Best for paintings, coasters, jewelry, and craft projects. Easy 1:1 mixing ratio, crystal clear finish, UV resistant.

Epoke Quick Coat (2:1): Fast-curing top coat for tables, countertops, and art pieces. Sets quickly with high-gloss finish.

Epoke Standard (3:1): Professional-grade for floors, large surfaces, and industrial applications. Durable and cost-effective for big projects.

Epoke Mega Cast (100:60): Deep pour formula for river tables, thick castings, and molds. Low exotherm allows pours up to 60mm in a single layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I mix resin by grams instead of volume?

Weight-based mixing is significantly more accurate than volume measurements. This is especially important in warm UAE conditions where temperature can affect volume. A digital scale ensures your mixing ratio is precise, preventing issues like soft spots or incomplete curing.

How do I prevent bubbles in my resin?

Mix slowly and deliberately to minimize air incorporation. Pour resin in a thin, steady stream from a height to help release trapped air. After pouring, use a heat gun or butane torch passing 6-8 inches above the surface to pop surface bubbles. Don't overheat the resin as this can cause yellowing or other defects.

What's the maximum pour depth for each resin type?

GLAIZ Art Resin and Epoke 3:1: up to 20mm per layer. Epoke Quick Coat: up to 10mm per layer. Epoke Mega Cast: up to 60mm per layer. These limits exist because thicker pours generate more heat during curing, which can cause cracking, warping, or incomplete cure. For thicker projects, pour in multiple layers.

Why does the calculator mention density?

Density converts volume (calculated from your dimensions) into weight (grams). We use a standard epoxy density of 1.10 g/ml. If you have specific product documentation with different density, you can enable Advanced mode to adjust this value for more precise calculations.

How much waste allowance should I add?

For standard flat surfaces and simple molds, 8% is sufficient. For complex molds, irregular surfaces, or if you're new to resin work, use 10-15%. Large floor projects might need less (5-8%) since wastage is proportionally lower. It's better to have slightly too much than to run out mid-project.

Can I use this calculator for other resin brands?

The calculator is calibrated for GLAIZ and Epoke products with their specific mixing ratios. Other brands may have different ratios (e.g., 2:1, 4:1) which would require different Part A/B calculations. Always check your product's technical data sheet for the correct mixing ratio.
