Whats the difference between a Casting Resin & Table Top or Countertop Epoxy? Full Article: https://epoxycountertopdiy.com/epoxy-...

The biggest difference between the two is the viscosity. Table Top Epoxy is much thicker compared to casting resin. Because casing resin is thinner it allows for thicker pours. Most countertop epoxies can only be poured 1/4" at a time. Many casting resins can be poured several inches thick.

The cure time is also drastically different. Table top epoxy takes roughly 4 hours to become tacky and is fully cured in 24 hours. Casting resin can take up to 48-72 hours to cure. This leaves a lot of time for hair, dirt, dust and other particles to get into the surface. Therefore casting resin is ideal for thicker pours in a dust free environment. Many may use a casting resin to fill a large void or hole in a surface like a river table. Bar top epoxy is then applied over the level surface. Bar top or countertop epoxy is usually harder than casting resin making it a better surface coating.
