Hey fellow crafters,
One question comes up more than any other in this Guild: "Which epoxy should I actually buy?"
It's the right question to ask. Because the difference between a clean river table and a ruined slab often isn't technique — it's the resin. Wrong viscosity for your pour depth. Wrong cure time for your ambient temperature. A brand that ships to the US but not to you.
I've been mapping the epoxy brand landscape for a while now. Not just the names, but who they are, what they actually make, and where they fit in a real workshop context. The result is below — 14 brands, broken into tiers, with honest descriptions and shipping info.
No rankings, no best-of lists. Just the information you need to make the call yourself.

Alumilite
🇺🇸 · alumilite.com
Alumilite has been around longer than most epoxy brands that are popular today. They started in mold-making and urethane casting, and that heritage shows. The Amazing Clear Cast system is one of the most consistently reviewed products in the hobby casting space. What sets them apart is the urethane side of their range: faster demold times, different mechanical properties than standard epoxy, and a product ecosystem that scales from small jewellery casting all the way to deep woodturning blanks.

EcoPoxy
🇨🇦 · ecopoxy.com
EcoPoxy is one of the few brands where the sustainability angle is actually backed by the chemistry. Their resins incorporate genuine bio-based content -- not just a marketing label. FlowCast is their river table workhorse: 2:1 mix ratio, deep pour capability, and a clarity that holds up well against petroleum-based alternatives. The UVPoxy coating system is also well regarded for tabletop finishing.

MAS Epoxies
🇺🇸 · masepoxies.com
MAS Epoxies comes from a marine background -- the kind of environment where epoxy failures are expensive and there are no second chances. That DNA shows up in how their products perform under real conditions. The Table Top Pro is a clean, well-behaved coating system. Their Deep Pour handles layered casting without drama. What I appreciate is that MAS does not overcomplicate the lineup: you know what each product is for, mix ratios are clear, and the data sheets are honest. Not the flashiest brand on the shelf, but consistently reliable.

Stone Coat Epoxy
🇺🇸 · stonecoatcountertops.com
Stone Coat built their brand around content first, and it shows. Their YouTube presence is one of the most substantial in the epoxy woodworking space -- hours of real project walkthroughs that actually teach you something. The products follow the same logic: kits are project-ready and include pigments, tools and guidance so you are not sourcing five things separately. Their countertop system is particularly well developed. The international shipping footprint is wider than most US brands, which makes them accessible to makers outside North America.

TotalBoat
🇺🇸 · totalboat.com
TotalBoat keeps coming up in the woodworking community for a reason. Their marine background means they take adhesion, moisture resistance and long-term durability seriously -- properties that matter a lot when a piece is sitting in a humid kitchen or workshop. ThickSet is their deep pour flagship, capable of up to 3 inches per layer, which puts it ahead of most competitors in that category. MakerPoxy is their artist-focused system. The product range is wide and well documented, free shipping to the continental US, and international distribution through Jamestown Distributors means it is accessible globally.

UltraClear Epoxy
🇺🇸 · bestbartopepoxy.com
UltraClear sits in an interesting spot: the name does the job, and the product backs it up. Their deep pour system goes up to 6 inches per layer -- the highest single-pour depth I have seen from a consumer-facing brand -- which significantly reduces the number of pours needed for thick river table slabs. Working time is generous, which helps when you are positioning elements or dealing with a complex pour. The bar top coating has a strong reputation in the hospitality and DIY furniture space. Free 2-day shipping to the lower 48 is a genuine practical advantage.

EU & art-focused brands
Artline Epoxy
🇪🇺 (Slovenia) · artline-resin.eu
Artline is a Slovenian brand that has built a solid following in the European maker community. Their product naming is intuitive: Crystal for coating, Honey for medium viscosity pours, Extra Honey for thicker applications, Wood PRO for woodworking-specific use. UV resistance across the range is above average, which matters if your pieces will see daylight.

ArtResin
🇨🇦 · artresin.com
ArtResin was designed from the ground up for artists working indoors without specialist ventilation -- and that focus is evident. Non-toxic, non-flammable, ASTM D-4236 certified. It is not a deep pour system and it is not optimised for river tables -- but that is by design. Where it excels is coating finished artwork: paintings, photography prints, mixed media pieces, epoxy art panels. The self-leveling 1:1 system is forgiving and produces a high-gloss UV-resistant finish that protects work long-term.

Craft Resin
🇬🇧 · craft-resin.com
Craft Resin is a UK brand that has done well by focusing on accessibility and safety. Low odour formula, ASTM-certified, and available in the UK, US and EU -- a wider footprint than most European brands manage. The product line is tight and intentional: one main resin system for coating and art work, a gloss top coat for finishing. It is not a brand you would reach for on a large river table project, but for jewellery, decorative casting, coasters and smaller resin art pieces it performs cleanly and consistently.

EPODEX
🇩🇪 · epodex.us
EPODEX is a German manufacturer with one of the wider DIY product ranges in the European market. They cover casting, coating, countertops, flooring and metallic effects -- and their pricing is competitive compared to importing from North America. The brand has invested in accessible presentation: clear kit options, good product descriptions, and a range that does not require specialist knowledge to navigate. US shipping is handled through their own logistics, which makes them more accessible than many EU-based brands for North American buyers.

EnviroTex Lite
🇺🇸 · eti-usa.com
EnviroTex Lite has been on craft store shelves for decades. It is one of those products that introduced a lot of people to epoxy before the current wave of woodworking-focused brands existed. The Pour-On formula is simple: mix equal parts, pour, self-levels to a glossy finish. It works fine for decoupage, coating paper crafts and light surface work. The limitation is distribution: Walmart and Michaels only, no direct online ordering, no international shipping. For anything beyond basic coating -- especially deeper pours or wood projects -- you will want something with more spec depth.

Naked Fusion
🇺🇸 · nakedfusionresin.com
Naked Fusion is an Amazon-first brand: convenient to find, easy to order, priced at the accessible end of the market. For small casting projects, simple molds and beginner experimentation it does the job. The lack of detailed spec sheets and the retail-only distribution model are the main limitations. There is no dedicated deep pour formula here, and no product range that scales with more complex projects.

Promise Epoxy
🇺🇸 · promiseepoxy.com
Promise Epoxy is the result of merging two established US brands -- Pro Marine Supplies and Incredible Solutions -- under a single product family. That heritage means there is real product development behind the range rather than a white-label operation. The table top coating is clean and well-regarded, the deep pour system handles standard river table depths, and the fast cure option is useful when you need to turn around a project quickly. Free shipping to the US is a practical plus.

Resin Obsession
🇺🇸 · resinobsession.com
Resin Obsession occupies a slightly different space from the other brands on this list -- they are as much an educational platform as a product brand. Their tutorial library is extensive and genuinely useful for beginners: practical, well-photographed, focused on results. The product range is curated around resin art specifically -- crystal clear casting resins, pigments, alcohol inks, molds -- rather than woodworking or deep pour applications. US shipping only, which limits their reach.
