12 Liter FlowCast Kit
FlowCast® is a two-component epoxy system developed for large casting applications. It is perfect for live edge wood projects such as river tables or ocean tables.
FlowCast® cures water clear and is compatible with many substrates. It has been formulated to have increased UV stability, a low viscosity for excellent air release, and a low exothermic heat buildup to allow for easy casting and encapsulation of items while preventing stress cracking.
The appearance of FlowCast® can be customized using EcoPoxy’s high intensity Metallic Color Pigments and liquid Color Pigments. Compatibility of the cured system with a variety of finishing methods and products ensures that desired custom finishes can be achieved.
FlowCast® can be worked using the same tools you already have for woodworking such as a lathe, table saw, or belt sander, leaving you thousands of possibilities to create beautiful projects.

Mixing
In a clean, dry container combine (by volume) 2 parts resin with 1 part hardener and mix thoroughly for 4-5 minutes. Add Liquid or Metallic pigments as desired and mix until evenly dispersed.
Application
Working area should be clean, dry, and free of dust. FlowCast can be poured at 13-38mm (0.5-1.5”) per layer. FlowCast will not shrink while curing under normal conditions. However, it may slowly fill cracks and voids in live edge wood pieces, causing the resin level to drop. Be prepared to add more epoxy as needed.
Epoxy releases heat when curing. For pours of 30L or more, multiple thinner pours may be necessary to prevent overheating. Fans blowing across the curing epoxy may also be used to help dissipate heat. For best adhesion between layers, wait until the first layer is tacky to touch before pouring a second layer. If the previous layer is no longer tacky, sand with 220 grit sandpaper and wipe down before pouring another layer.
