Jesmonite AC100 (Eco-Resin) for Shallow Tray / Coaster Mold Calculator
Pre-loads specific gravity (1.75) and 2.5:1 mix ratio to calculate exact Part A & Part B weights with cup scraping buffer.
A standard Shallow Tray / Coaster Mold (20 × 15 × 2 cm minus 150 cm³ master) requires 851g (30 oz / 1.88 lbs) of Jesmonite AC100 (Eco-Resin). Mix 607.5g Part A with 243g Part B (8% buffer included).
Casting Material & Volume Mode
Pre-loads specific gravity and 2.5:1 ratio by weight.
Geometry determines the container-volume formula. Use water displacement when the cavity is irregular.
Volume displaced by your master object inside the box.
Compensates for resin clinging to mixing paddles and cup walls (8% recommended).
Includes 8% waste buffer at SG 1.75
Ratio part: 2.5
Ratio part: 1

Step-by-Step Mix Ratio Derivation: Jesmonite AC100 (Eco-Resin)
How displacement volume, specific gravity, and ratio split combine into final scale weights.
Calculates the empty fluid cavity by taking the gross 600 cm³ tray containment volume and deducting the 150 cm³ displaced by the master model.
Multiplies fluid volume by the specific gravity of Jesmonite AC100 (Eco-Resin) (1.75 g/cm³) plus an 8% buffer for cup scraping and pouring loss.
Distributes batch mass according to the exact 2.5:1 ratio by weight.
Engineering Specifications & Troubleshooting Guide: Jesmonite AC100 (Eco-Resin)
Factory-tested parameters, common failure modes, and workbench best practices.
- Water-based acrylic composite material. Zero VOCs, solvent-free, and fire-resistant (Class 0).
- Always add the AC100 Base powder (Part A) gradually into the Liquid (Part B) while blending with a high-shear mixer blade.
- Vibrate or tap the silicone mold firmly on the tabletop for 60 seconds immediately after pouring to release surface air bubbles.
Pouring liquid into dry powder, creating impossible lumpy clumps that ruin surface fidelity.
