Coverage Calculation Factors
Surface Preparation Impact
Surface condition significantly affects resin coverage rates. Rough, porous, or textured surfaces require 15-30% more resin than smooth surfaces.
- • Smooth surfaces: Standard coverage rates
- • Textured surfaces: +15% resin needed
- • Porous surfaces: +25-30% resin needed
Waste Factor Planning
Professional resin applications include waste factors for mixing containers, spills, and application tools. Plan for 10-20% additional resin.
- • Small projects: +10% waste factor
- • Large projects: +15% waste factor
- • Complex shapes: +20% waste factor
Professional Application Guidelines
Optimal Thickness
1/8" to 1/4" provides best balance of coverage, strength, and cost efficiency
Edge Coverage
Allow extra 2-3" beyond project edges for proper edge seal and drip protection
Temperature Effects
Cold temperatures increase viscosity; may need 5-10% extra resin for proper flow
Multiple Coats
Second coats typically require 25-30% less resin due to sealed surface porosity
