8L Table Top Epoxy Resin Kit – Clear 1:1 Epoxy Coating
Description
8L Table Top Epoxy Resin
Craft Resin 8L Table Top Epoxy is a clear, self-levelling epoxy resin designed for coating larger surfaces such as wooden tables, kitchen worktops, bar tops and furniture. The 1:1 mix ratio makes the resin straightforward to measure, while the ultra-clear finish allows the surface underneath to remain visible.
This kit contains 8 litres in total – 4L of resin and 4L of hardener – and is designed for thin surface coatings up to approximately 3mm.

Furniture
Epoxy Resin for Furniture
Clear epoxy resin can also be used to create a protective decorative coating on suitable furniture surfaces, including prepared timber and wooden panels.
- Suitable for furniture refinishing projects
- Clear coating helps retain the appearance of the substrate
- Hard, scratch-resistant cured surface
- Can be combined with suitable colours and decorative effects
Key Features
Self-Levelling
Designed to flow across the prepared surface to help produce an even coating with a smooth finish.
Ultra-Clear Finish
Clear, high-gloss epoxy allows the colour and appearance of the surface underneath to remain visible.
1:1 Mixing Ratio
Mix equal volumes of resin and hardener for straightforward measuring and preparation.
Bubble Release
The formulation is designed to help release bubbles during application when correctly mixed and applied.
UV Resistant
UV-resistant formulation helps reduce yellowing and maintain the appearance of the cured coating.
8L Complete Kit
Supplied as 4L resin plus 4L hardener, providing 8 litres of mixed material before allowing for application losses.
Epoxy Resin Coverage Calculator
Enter the length and width of your surface and select the coating depth to estimate the theoretical amount of epoxy resin required.
Please note: This is a theoretical volume calculation. Allow additional material for wastage, resin remaining in mixing containers, surface irregularities, edges and application conditions. The calculator does not confirm that a particular project requires the full 8L kit.
What Can You Use Table Top Epoxy Resin For?
