If you’re looking for an eco-friendly, high-performance resin system for woodworking, crafts, or furniture making, learning how to use EcoPoxy is essential. Known for its superior clarity, sustainability, and ease of use, EcoPoxy has become a top choice among professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re working on river tables, coating, or casting projects, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Step 1: Choose the Right EcoPoxy Resin System
Before you start, it’s important to select the correct EcoPoxy resin system based on your project type.
For deep casting applications such as river tables or large molds, EcoPoxy FlowCast is ideal. It cures crystal clear and allows deep pours up to 1.5 inches.
If you’re working on smaller projects like jewelry, crafts, or coating surfaces, consider EcoPoxy Liquid Plastic which offers excellent bubble release and a smooth, glass-like finish.

Step 2: Measure and Mix Properly
When learning how to use EcoPoxy, accurate measuring and mixing are crucial for a perfect cure. Most EcoPoxy resin systems use a 2:1 ratio (resin to hardener). Always read the label instructions carefully.
Mix the components slowly in a clean container to minimize air bubbles. Scrape the sides and bottom to ensure both parts are evenly combined.
Step 3: Pour and Work with the Resin
Once mixed, pour the resin slowly into your mold or onto your surface. EcoPoxy FlowCast is excellent for deep-pour applications and creates a flawless, clear finish with minimal heat buildup. For smaller coatings, EcoPoxy Liquid Plastic offers greater control and faster curing.
Work in a well-ventilated area and maintain a stable room temperature for best results.
Step 4: Curing and Finishing
Allow the resin to cure undisturbed according to the product’s guidelines. Once hardened, sand the surface gradually using fine-grit sandpaper, and finish with a polish or oil to bring out the resin’s natural shine.
Because EcoPoxy products are plant-based and low-odor, they’re safer and more sustainable compared to traditional epoxies.
Step 5: Maintenance and Care
Keep your finished resin piece clean and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. With proper care, your EcoPoxy Flow Cast or EcoPoxy Liquid Plastic project will retain its clarity and durability for years.
