River-Tables made of epoxy casting resin
River tables are uniquely aesthetic, handcrafted designer furniture made from a combination of the most beautiful woods and clear or colored epoxy cast resins. Each table is unique.
In the following film, we show you how to produce professional rivertables with high-quality epoxy casting resins from R&G!

All data on thicknesses, processing time and curing time are only approximate values. A large number of parameters such as temperature, casting volume, substrates have a decisive influence. The values may therefore deviate considerably in practice.
What is important in processing?
- Determine the required resin/hardener quantity. The R&G resin calculator helps you to do this.
- Weigh components accurately and mix resin and hardener thoroughly (drill +mixing propeller); then repot into a clean container and mix again.
- Allow the batch to stand for 15 - 30 minutes to deaerate. Remove rising air bubbles, which lie as foam on the surface after casting, with a hot air gun or gas flame (fire hazard).
- Set up fans (cold air) above the casting (e.g. Rivertable); this has proven effective in preventing overheating.
