Batch Weighing GuideExact resin volume and weight splits for single cylinder coaster pours and multi-cavity batch production runs.
| Coaster Batch & Cylinder Style | Cavity Count | Total Volume (ml) | Total Mixed Weight (g) | Part A (1:1 Wt) | Part B (1:1 Wt) | Per-Cavity Pour Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Single Coaster (8 cm × 1.0 cm) | 1 Cavity | 50.3 ml | 55.3 g (1.95 oz) | 27.7 g | 27.7 g | 55.3 g |
| Set of 4 Coasters (8 cm × 1.0 cm) | 4 Cavities | 201.1 ml | 221.2 g (7.80 oz) | 110.6 g | 110.6 g | 55.3 g |
| Set of 6 Coasters (8 cm × 1.0 cm) | 6 Cavities | 301.6 ml | 331.8 g (11.70 oz) | 165.9 g | 165.9 g | 55.3 g |

In-Depth Crafting Guide & Density Analysis
Cylinder coaster calculations are vital for casting matching coaster sets with uniform thickness and weight. Standard silicone coaster molds are short cylinders; estimating by eye across a multi-pack batch always creates mismatched thicknesses.
This cylinder coaster calculator computes total batch requirements, splits components for scale weighing, and calculates exact per-cavity pour targets to ensure every coaster in your handmade set is identical.
Frequently Asked Questions (Cylinder Coaster Resin Calculator)
How do you make sure all coasters in a set have identical thickness?
Never estimate by eye. Calculate the total batch weight, mix in one pitcher, place each silicone mold directly on a tared digital scale, and pour the exact target weight (e.g., exactly 55.3g per cavity) into each mold.
How much resin do you need for a standard set of 4 round coasters?
For 4 standard coasters (8 cm diameter × 1 cm depth), you need 221.2 grams (201 ml) of mixed 1:1 casting epoxy (110.6g Part A + 110.6g Part B). For 10 cm larger coasters, you need 414.7 grams.
How long before resin coasters can withstand hot coffee mugs?
Standard craft resin demolds in 24 hours but requires 7 full days to reach maximum heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 120°F–140°F (50°C–60°C). Pouring hot coffee into a mug placed on a 2-day-old coaster will leave a permanent ring indentation.
How do you prevent micro-bubbles along the bottom edge of cylinder molds?
Paint a thin layer of mixed resin into the bottom rim of the silicone cavity with a silicone brush before pouring the main volume. This breaks air locks in the corner seams.
What is the ideal resin viscosity for pouring silicone coaster molds?
Low-to-medium viscosity casting epoxies (like ArtResin or Let's Resin 1:1) work best for coasters because they naturally degas within 15 minutes, whereas high-viscosity thick glazes trap bubbles in deep edges.
