Pro Tips

Measure River Width at Multiple Points

Take width measurements every 6-8 inches along the river channel for accurate volume calculation.

Account for Wood Displacement

If your river channel contains wood pieces or debris, subtract their volume from the total.

Consider Deep Pour Resins

For thick pours (>2"), use deep pour formulations to prevent overheating and cracking.

Temperature Matters

Warm resin (70-75°F) flows better and has fewer bubbles, but also has shorter working time.

River Table FAQ

How accurate is this calculator?

Our calculator is accurate within 5-10% for most river table projects. The multiple measurement points and safety factors account for irregular shapes and ensure you have enough resin to complete your project.

Can I pour the river in multiple layers?

Yes! For thick pours (>2"), we recommend multiple thinner pours to prevent overheating. The calculator total remains the same, but divide by your planned number of pours to get per-layer amounts.

What if my river channel varies in depth?

Use the average depth for calculation, or measure depth at multiple points just like width measurements. The calculator assumes uniform depth, so varying depths may require manual adjustment.

How much extra resin should I order?

We recommend 15-25% extra depending on project complexity. Simple rectangular rivers need less safety margin, while highly irregular shapes need more. The calculator includes this automatically based on your selection.
