River Table Epoxy Volume & Pigment Calculator

Exact resin + hardener + pigment for your river table — average multiple width measurements, account for seal coats, mixing loss and layer limits, and never run short mid-pour.

The math behind it

Volume uses the average of your width samples × length × depth, converted at 231 in³ per gallon. Seal coats wet the channel side walls (live edge): length × depth per side × 2 sides at ~1/32 in per coat. Mixing loss covers cups, sticks and the unmixed film every pour leaves behind — 10% is the standard planning allowance. The mix ratio splits the total into resin and hardener parts by volume; pigment is a percentage of the total mixed volume and is NOT counted toward the resin:hardener ratio.

Running out mid-pour is the #1 river-table failure: it leaves a visible cold joint. When in doubt round up to the next kit size — unopened kits store for a year, cold joints don't.

What people hate about the other tools

We read the reviews of the incumbents before writing this page. Every complaint below maps to a decision in the tool above.

  • Ran out of epoxy halfway through the pour — the cold joint is visible the length of the table

    In this toolAveraged volume + 10% mixing loss + kit rounding so the pour finishes in one session.

One-line difference: Multi-point width averaging for tapering slabs, seal-coat volume, mixing loss and the 2-inch layer limit that prevents exotherm cracks — the four things single-box calculators miss.
