Epoxy Resin Molds & Casting
Plan, pour, and care for mold castings without treating every resin, mold, cleaner, or project as interchangeable. Start with the complete process, then verify the product-specific instructions that control the cure and cleanup.
Match the resin to the casting
Mold material, cavity depth, total resin volume, inclusions, temperature, release preparation, and finishing requirements all affect the process. The guides below cover a reliable beginner pouring workflow and careful cleanup while separating general principles from manufacturer-specific ratios, times, material limits, and cleaning instructions.
For thick castings, compare the documented limits in thedeep-pour epoxy section. For cured-surface work, use the finishing and polishing resources.
