My Wife and I recently made some Geode Tables with no substrate from epoxy Art Resin. They turned out beautiful! After letting the table set for 3-weeks I inverted the 21’x 19″x 3/4″ thick table on 4 large plastic cups to drill the bottom for the threaded insert to attach the legs. I had the table sitting on the cups for 3-4 hrs while the epoxy set around the insert. After the epoxy set, I turned the tabletop back over on the work table and noticed the cups had made an impression in the tabletop. Disaster! My question is, What Resin do I need to use to make these Geode tables so I have a much harder finished product? Do I need to use a deep pour resin or casting resin or an add in product to make the resin harder? I did mix the resin aggressively for 4 minutes prior to pouring it into the mold. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Keith,

I’m sorry this happened to you. Yes, a casting resin is a better choice. They will cure harder and clearer, plus will resist the dents you experienced using Art Resin.

For a project like this, the Resin Obsession deep pour resin works great. You can mix anywhere from 3 ounces to 3 gallons at once. It cures in 48 to 72 hours depending on how much you mix. You can buy it in our store here: https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/casting
