If you're making a solid colour or metallic effect resin river table, save a huge amount resin, money and resources by using this incredible plywood core construction method for your next river table project. Following this process will allow you to produce an identical looking river table, of the highest quality, using only 1/3 of the amount of resin as a conventional river table.

As the other guy pointed out, it's incredibly noble showing off how to use less. You're absolutely correct about it helping people in a budget get into the craft, and I've never wanted to buy a company's product more if I'm being honest. I'm bookmarking the video for later this week, I'm hoping my stepdad wouldn't mind doing a project like this with me.
Excellent, a company showing you how to save money by using less of their product is very very noble, and in my opinion speaks volumes.
This is great if you're making an opaque resin. To me a massive part of the reason to use resin is for the transparency.
Another option for river tables, especially clear pours, use varying sizes of gravel to simulate stones/boulders in the finished product. You could also use sand under the gravel to reduce the volume further.
Helpful hint. If you can, put part B in the cup first and add Part A.
Brilliant. Great to see a company showing you how to save money using their product. It builds credibility and consumer confidence. I'll be using them for my next project. 👍
I think i appreciate this so much more because it’s a resin company telling you “hey, you might not actually need to buy as much product!”
I have been using glasscast 10/50 many times and it has never disappointed me. Brilliant stuff 🥇
I do this already. I use up my scrap lumber. Be sure to seal the filler boards to reduce bubbles.
Yep, I've avoided this due to the immense cost and volume most people encourage. Legit keen to do this since you've shown how to make it economical and environmentally friendly. Strong integrity, very impressed!
Great video. I've known a lot of people who wanted to try out a resin project, including myself, that get put off by the cost of it once they work out what they may need. Even saving a little bit helps.
As a retired toolmaker/machinist with MANY years under my belt. I have helped manufacture many molds over the years.
Great idea. So refreshing to have your calculations in metric.
The fact you're using metric is enough to leave a thumbs up!
I did something similar to this on a lake table I was asked to build, the video is on my channel. The slab was over 5 cm thick and I had a limited budget to build the table on, so I just put a plywood platform in the center and sealed the edges, only casting about 1/5 cm worth of resin, turned out beautifully, so i can vouch for the fact that resin saving techniques work and they worm very well!
I really cant fathom why people wouldn't do this with opaque pigments, but semi transparent river tables are my favourites
Now this is marketing that is made for the real audience, with noble gesture of showing how it is done with less budget.
I was amaze when i saw ur comapny showing ideas to save epoxy shows really you guys care about us
immediately like this guy better than everybody else lol. seems more like a real person and not some hack! cheers from across the pond
