You can create unique furniture by yourself with casting resin and this pouring technique! The pouring design of the highboard chest of drawers and the side table Nordic Style with cast resin are a great example of how easy it is to become your own luxury furniture designer with this technique.

The working time for this casting resin project including drying time is about 2 days.

Small preparatory work for the big design

Painting furniture

Paint the side walls of the chest of drawers and the tray of the side table with light grey concrete color. Leave the surface of the tray, which is designed with pouring resin in a pouring look, unpainted.

Stir casting resin

Select resin tinting colors and provide them. Mix the cold glaze resin and hardener together in a 1:1 ratio. Take 10 ml each so that you have 20 ml in your cup. When the two components are mixed together, the mixture becomes slightly milky. For each colour you need a separate cup with mixed cold glaze

Now add the tinting colours. Please make sure that you put one drop of paint into each only cup. Otherwise the colours will be too dark.

Casting resin order

In order to separate the individual design surfaces cleanly from each other, use silicone from the tube to separate them. For the drawers of the chest of drawers, for example, the silicone was used to prevent them from running off. After the drying time, the silicone can be easily removed and you will have clean edges.

Now pour or distribute the colours onto the drawers or tray. Let the colours run with the embossing dryer. If necessary, spread the colours up to the edges with a wooden stick and close any holes. Small bubbles can be removed by heat, the surface of the cold glaze design becomes particularly smooth.

Tips & tricks

To achieve a marbling effect in the casting resin, pull through the paint with a wooden stick.
If you have mixed too little colour, you can mix a new portion and then distribute it.
The areas created with Pouring Casting Resin can be written on and painted with coloured pencils - this gives you additional great creative possibilities.

Noble finish

The drying time for cold glaze is about 12 hours. Even after that, another layer of transparent cold glaze without colour can be poured over the design. This enhances the 3D look. Any unevenness in the surface caused by coloured casting can be compensated by this second layer of glaze.
