Getting Started
Ambient Temperature, Pot-Life and Pour Depth
The GlassCast range of resins, in common with all epoxies, generate heat as part of the curing process. The amount of time the mixed resin can spend in the pot, as well as the maximum depth it can be poured at, will vary depending on the ambient temperature.
For best results, we recommend working in a consistent room temperature of 18-20°C. GlassCast can be used in temperatures from 15 to 25°C but higher temperatures will reduce the pot-life and the maximum pour-depth of the resin significantly, as shown in the table below.
| Ambient Temperature | 15°C (minimum) | 20°C (minimum) | 25°C (minimum) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum Time in Pot (Pot Life) | 45 mins | 30 mins | 22 mins |
| Maximum Pour Depth | 9mm | 6mm | 3mm |
| Initial Cure | 36 hrs | 24 hrs | 18 hrs |
How much resin do I need?
Working out how much resin you need for a floor is very easy. Start by working out the area of your floor in square metres; this is just the length in metres, multiplied by the width.
For example, a 3m x 2m room = 6 square metres.The floor needs to be completely level, then a 2-3mm depth layer of resin can be applied.What else do I need?
Very little! – Pouring a GlassCast 3 solid colour floor is straight-forward and requires no special tools or equipment. You’ll just need some nitrile gloves, 2 large mixing buckets, a mixing stick and a spreader.
If you would like to pour a clear coating over something like pennies or vinyl records, see our Penny Floor Tutorial.
Alternatively, if you wish to create an artistic resin floor, to look like marble, we would recommend making a small scale piece before scaling up and to watch our resin countertop tutorial here to see how the effects are achieved.

Although easy-to-use, GlassCast 3 is still a chemical product. To make sure you work safely and get great results, you must download and read the technical and safety datasheets from this page before you begin.
GlassCast 3 is also the ideal product for applying glossy finish surfaces to bar tops and table tops in addition to decorative floors and penny floors.
