I have coaster molds that are about an inch high that I wanted to fill with shells, rocks, beach glass ect. I can’t tell which type of Resin is best. I was hoping “epoxy resin for crafts” or “epoxy for tumblers” since they are cheapest but I’d like to know which is actually the most appropriate. Thanks

Hi Tricia,

I’d love to help with this.

Since you’re working in molds, you need to use one designed for those. We’ve got two. The one you use comes down to how much resin you’re mixing and pouring at once.

For pours of 3 ounces or less, the Resin Obsession super clear resin is what you want:  https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/resin-obsession-super-clear-resin
For pours of 3 ounces or more, the Resin Obsession deep pour casting resin works great:  https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/resin-obsession-deep-pour-resin

If you need help figuring out how much resin you need, our free resin calculator can do it for you: https://resinobsession.com/resin-calculator/
