Are you a Tiktok fanatic? Maybe a lover of YouTube craft videos? Or, perhaps, you’ve just been watching enough HGTV to see all the trendy, beautiful resin river tables popping up. There sure is something mesmerizing about these kinds of tables. The way they take the natural, exposed edge of a piece of timber and then fill it in with resin in order to create and lock in a breathtaking scene. We’ve seen all kinds of mind-blowing scenes crafted into tables with the aid of resin. From underwater scapes including fish and other wildlife, all the way to Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing making the Death Star trench run, there’s really no limit to what can be done.
Of course, if you’re looking to get your hands dirty and want to make your own resin table, you’ll need one important ingredient: resin. But where to buy epoxy resin for river tables and other crafts is a common question we get all the time (especially of late, as the popularity and intrigue of these tables has exploded)! Not to worry, as we’ve got you covered with all the answers, tips, and suggestions you’ll need.
First, Consider The Resin
There are all types of epoxy resins you can technically use on your project, but this is something you don’t want to go cheap on. At least, you don’t want to just grab the cheapest bottle of epoxy resin and expect it to deliver quality results. That’s just not how it works. And when you’re dealing with an expensive piece of hardwood, the last thing you want to do is have your entire project go down the tubes because there are bubbles left in the epoxy.
If this is your first go with a river epoxy table, we do suggest a few practice rounds before you step up your game to the big leagues. Always nice to get a few warm up at bats, after all. It’s a good way to test out different techniques without using bringing in expensive pieces of wood.
So, first of all, we recommend a brand such as WiseBond. WiseBond offers a variety of epoxy, from deep pour to art and tumbler, they have all of your needs covered. If you can’t go with that brand, look for another epoxy resin marketed as a “table top resin”.

Now, if you are just starting out and practicing, the easiest option, at least for price searching, is to just go online and search for table top epoxy resin on Amazon. This is a solid way to start. We also love starting online because you can read the reviews of others who bought the product before you. Chances are there will be more than a few that bought the product with similar intentions as you. And, as such, they will leave reviews detailing their experience with the product. We recommend checking out not only the good reviews, but the bad ones as well. Sometimes the bad reviews are the most informative (although oftentimes the bad reviews are also left by people who didn’t know what they were doing, but that’s usually pretty easy to figure out by going over their reasoning for the poor review).
