Best epoxy resin kit UK: pack, ratio, and depth

Updated: 23 October 2026

The photos all look like the same glossy pour. A best epoxy resin kit UK search in this set is three decisions in order: what the bottles contain, how deep that formula is meant to go, and which shelf price matches the job. The [epoxy resin comparison](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/epoxy-resin) is the twelve-row table. This page is the order of those decisions. Peter F. wrote it from the listings, not from a lab pour. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. You should leave knowing whether you want a small craft bottle, a 1 litre kit, or a large tin, and which cells not to trust.

What you are actually buying

Every kit here is resin plus hardener. Where a ratio is stated, it is 1:1 by volume: two equal volumes, not two equal weights, unless the bottle says otherwise. The title number is the trap. Funxim at £24.99 is 2 litres total, 1 litre plus 1 litre, and a review says the picture looks larger. Craft Resin at £36.99 is the same shape. Fidton at £79.99 is 4 litres plus 4 litres. If you read 2 litres as each bottle, you have half the mix you planned. Uncured epoxy is a skin sensitiser in Health and Safety Executive guidance. Mixing steps are on the how to use epoxy resin page.

Match depth before you match litres

Craft Resin UK points past about 6 mm toward a deep-pour product. In this set both sizes print 1/4 inch, about 6 mm, and a 24 hour cure. That is a thin coat, not a river. Most depth cells are empty. GlassCast 3 is 6 mm at 20°C and 3 mm at 25°C. Do not copy that onto these kits. An 8 litre tin is still 1:1. Fidton’s reviews include a flash cure and a pour that never hardened. JDiction is 4.5 litres with no depth, and a review says a table mould got very hot. DR. RESIN names river tables on 473 ml and gives no depth.

How the twelve prices split

Shelf prices here run from £8.89 to £79.99. Under £15, Suzzam is £8.89 for 474 ml and DR. RESIN is £14.99 for 473 ml. Those suit coasters, not a full desk. SigWong is £18.99 for 1,100 ml and Craft Resin 1 litre is £23.99, the two files in the thousands. Fidton is £79.99 for 8 litres, the lowest price per litre and 4.2 from 126, with a flash-cure review still attached. A 1 litre kit fits a thin coat like one 120 cm by 40 cm review.

Extras, star lines, and bad fields

Extras change the first afternoon, not the chemistry. SigWong includes cups and glitter. One review says the cups arrived broken, and another calls the glitter chopped plastic. Both Craft Resin listings print 4.6 from 6,874, and the texts describe the 1 litre kit, so the 2 litre row is not a second sample. The 1 litre water field says waterproof and the 2 litre field says water resistant. SigWong says not water resistant, and its full-cure cell reads 6E+1 minutes, which is not a cure time. JDiction lists 1 kg on 4.5 litres. UMIKEL’s colour field says klar, and the material line mentions a spray. Ignore those cells. Decide depth first, total volume second, then the review file.

Common questions

What pack size do I need for coasters versus a desk?
Coasters sit under about half a litre: Suzzam at 474 ml for £8.89, or DR. RESIN at 473 ml for £14.99. One Craft Resin review coated a 120 cm by 40 cm top at about 2–3 mm from the 1 litre kit. That is one top, not a coverage rate. An 8 litre tin still has to be poured in thin layers.
Is the ratio 1:1 by volume or by weight?
Where a ratio is stated, it is 1:1 by volume. Measure two equal volumes. Do not weigh the bottles unless the label says the ratio is by weight. A wrong mix is how IModeur reviewers describe a rubbery cure.
Does 2 litres mean each bottle?
On Funxim, Craft Resin, and ISTOYO, 2 litres is resin plus hardener, 1 litre and 1 litre. Fidton’s 8 litres is 4 litres plus 4 litres. The hardener is half the pack at 1:1, not a spare. Trust the component line, not a picture that looks like two tins of resin.
Can a 1:1 kit pour a river table?
Not on the evidence in these twelve files. The chemistry is 1:1, and Craft Resin’s depth line is about 1/4 inch. JDiction and Fidton have the litres and the heat stories: a mould that got very hot, a flash cure, and a pour that never hardened.
Which kits include cups, mica, or pumps?
LET'S RESIN includes six mica colours and cups. SigWong lists cups, with one review of breakage. DR. RESIN and Suzzam list cups and gloves. Craft Resin 1 litre lists pumps. The 2 litre Craft Resin line does not. Funxim, JDiction, and Fidton do not put cups in the component field.
Should I buy the 8 litre tin for a lower price per litre?
Fidton at £79.99 for 8 litres is the lowest price per litre here, and it is 4.2 from 126 reviews. Others report a flash cure and a pour that never hardened. Working time is 20–30 minutes. Take it for thin coats only if you accept that file.
