Deep Pour River Epoxy (2:1 Ratio) for Shallow Tray / Coaster Mold Calculator

Pre-loads specific gravity (1.11) and 2:1 mix ratio to calculate exact Part A & Part B weights with cup scraping buffer.

Calculated Benchmark Answer

A standard Shallow Tray / Coaster Mold (20 × 15 × 2 cm minus 150 cm³ master) requires 540g (19.03 oz / 1.19 lbs) of Deep Pour River Epoxy (2:1 Ratio). Mix 359.6g Part A with 179.8g Part B (8% buffer included).

Step-by-Step Mix Ratio Derivation: Deep Pour River Epoxy (2:1 Ratio)

How displacement volume, specific gravity, and ratio split combine into final scale weights.

Step 1: Calculate Net Mold Cavity Volume450 cm³ (mL)
Formula: V_net = (L × W × H)_box - V_master
Calculation: (20 × 15 × 2) - 150 cm³ = 450 cm³ (mL)

Calculates the empty fluid cavity by taking the gross 600 cm³ tray containment volume and deducting the 150 cm³ displaced by the master model.

Step 2: Calculate Total Batch Weight with 8% Buffer539.5 grams
Formula: W_batch = V_net × SG × (1 + Buffer_pct / 100)
Calculation: 450 cm³ × 1.11 × 1.08 = 539.5 grams

Multiplies fluid volume by the specific gravity of Deep Pour River Epoxy (2:1 Ratio) (1.11 g/cm³) plus an 8% buffer for cup scraping and pouring loss.

Step 3: Divide into Part A and Part B by Mix RatioPart A: 359.6g | Part B: 179.8g
Formula: W_A = W_batch × (R_A / (R_A + R_B))
Calculation: 539.5g × (2 / 3) = Part A: 359.6g | Part B: 179.8g

Distributes batch mass according to the exact 2:1 ratio by weight.

Engineering Specifications & Troubleshooting Guide: Deep Pour River Epoxy (2:1 Ratio)

Factory-tested parameters, common failure modes, and workbench best practices.

Maker Pro Tips
  • Specially formulated with ultra-low viscosity and slow exothermic release for single pours up to 2 inches (50mm) deep.
  • Keep workshop temperature strictly between 20°C - 22°C (68°F - 72°F); hotter ambient will cause an exothermic runaway boil.
  • Pass a propane torch or heat gun lightly over the surface 15 minutes after pouring to pop rising bubbles.
Most Critical Mistake to Avoid

Pouring deeper than recommended in hot weather (>26°C), resulting in thermal yellowing, cracking, and smoke.

Recommended Machine Settings
mixing TechniqueStir slowly for 5-8 minutes by hand, scraping corners thoroughly. Never whip air into the mixture.
degassing RequiredNo
demold NoteWait 48 hours before demolding. Full cure for sanding and table-saw surfacing requires 7 full days.
