Magic Resin 2 in vs 4 in Deep Pour

Magic Resin publishes separate deep-pour systems for projects up to 2 inches and up to 4 inches in a single pour. The calculator above is pre-filtered to the 2 in product because it is the more conservative default for river-table planning; the table below lets you compare both verified products before ordering.

How much Magic Resin epoxy do I need?

The calculator uses the cavity volume from length, width and depth, then adds the waste allowance you choose. This is more useful than guessing from surface area for river tables and castings because deep-pour projects are three-dimensional.

Magic Resin mix ratio

The verified 2 in and 4 in systems both use a 2:1 resin-to-hardener ratio by volume, with 100:45 also published by weight. Keep the measurement basis consistent. For splitting a batch into exact resin and hardener amounts, use the resin and hardener ratio calculator.

Choose 2 in or 4 in by pour depth, not by kit size

A larger kit does not mean a deeper safe pour. Product formulation, project mass and temperature determine the published depth guidance. If a project is close to a maximum depth, verify the current Magic Resin instructions before mixing.

Verified kit sizes and current-price planning

EpoxyCalc stores verified kit sizes for both Magic Resin systems. Product matching can therefore compare your calculated quantity with real kit volumes instead of simply rounding to an arbitrary number of gallons.
