Bondone Clear Cast – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for River Tables & Art
Bondone Clear Cast is recommended by 8 out of 10 artists. The 300-minute pot life gives you room to work – no panic mixing, no premature gelling. Mixed at 3:1 by weight, with a Shore D hardness of 75-80 and APHA clarity below 30, this is the resin shipped to furniture makers in Kirti Nagar, artists in Chennai, and jewellery makers in Mumbai. As of July 2026, the 1.2 kg kit is ₹731 and the 12 kg combo is ₹6,431 from the Ghaziabad warehouse. PAN India delivery.
What is the best epoxy resin for river tables in India?
Bondone Clear Cast is the most popular deep-pour epoxy for river tables in India. Its 300-370 minute pot life at 25°C allows you to work slowly and deliberately – critical when pouring large slabs. The low mix viscosity of 500-800 mPa·s means it self-levels without trapping air. A standard 4ft x 2ft river table requires 12-15 kg of resin. At ₹536 per kg on the 12 kg combo, total material cost works out to roughly ₹6,431 to ₹8,000.
How much does Bondone Clear Cast cost per kg in India?
Bondone Clear Cast costs ₹731 for a 1.2 kg kit (₹609 per kg) and ₹6,431 for a 12 kg combo (₹536 per kg), delivered PAN India from the Ghaziabad warehouse. Both prices include GST. No COD – UPI, bank transfer, or credit card invoice accepted.
What Is Bondone Clear Cast?
Bondone Clear Cast is a two-component, low-viscosity epoxy casting system manufactured by DCM Shriram under the Bondone brand. It is designed for clear casting and lamination applications where optical clarity, low shrinkage, and long working time are critical. The TDS reference for this system is HSCL/TDS/06 v01 from Hindusthan Speciality Chemicals Limited.
The system delivers a glass-like transparent finish with good hardness, high gloss, and resistance to water and common chemicals. It pours thin, levels itself, and does not trap air easily when handled correctly. Si Epoxy stocks it in the Ghaziabad warehouse and ships it across India – from furniture workshops in Delhi to art studios in Bengaluru and jewellery makers in Jaipur.

Which Project Should You Use Clear Cast For? – Decision Table
Clear Cast is a deep-pour epoxy formulated for thick sections up to 50mm. Pick your project below to see if it fits.
| If you want to... | Buy this | Why | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build a river table with deep pours up to 50mm | Bondone Clear Cast | 300-370 min pot life gives you hours to work. Low exotherm (max 55°C) prevents cracking in thick sections. Self-levels at 500-800 mPa·s. | ₹731 / 1.2 kg ₹6,431 / 12 kg |
| Cast art sculptures with embedded objects | Bondone Clear Cast | Long working time for arranging layered pours and detailed encapsulation. Crystal clarity with APHA <30. | ₹731 / 1.2 kg |
| Coat bar tops and countertops with a thick glass-like finish | Bondone Clear Cast | Pour layers up to 50mm for deep, self-leveling bar tops. For thin 1-2mm coatings, use ClearLam CC instead. | ₹731 / 1.2 kg ₹6,431 / 12 kg |
| Create handicrafts and decorative encapsulation pieces | Bondone Clear Cast | Low shrinkage, no yellowing indoors, and optical clarity for paperweights, coasters, and decorative parts that must stay water-clear. | ₹731 / 1.2 kg |
Not for: Outdoor use near windows – use UV Stable variant. Heavy industrial flooring – use Bondone Flowtop.
How Much Bondone Clear Cast Do You Need?
Quantity is the most common question on WhatsApp. Here is the simple calculation:
At 6mm depth: 1.2 kg kit covers approximately 0.1 sq.m (1 sq.ft)
Standard 4ft x 2ft river table: Requires 12-15 kg total – one 12 kg combo plus one 1.2 kg kit
Formula: Length (m) x Width (m) x Depth (mm) x 1.1 = kg required
First-timers are always advised to buy one extra 1.2 kg kit. Seal coat leakage, uneven leveling, spills – things happen. Better to have one kg extra than a ruined table because you ran out mid-pour.

Clear Cast vs Clear Cast UV Stable – Which One Should You Buy?
If your piece lives indoors, away from direct window sunlight – Clear Cast is the right choice. If it sits near a window, on a balcony, inside a car, or anywhere with UV exposure – you need the UV-stable variant.
UV Stable contains HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) that prevent the yellowing reaction. Regular Clear Cast uses phenolic stabilizers which delay ambering but cannot stop it under sustained UV. Indoor pieces remain water-clear for years, and window-side tables yellow in 8 months. For restaurant tables near glass facades or outdoor furniture displays, spend the extra and get UV Stable.
How to Use Bondone Clear Cast – Step by Step
1. Surface preparation: Ensure the mould or wood slab is clean, dry, and free from dust. Seal porous wood with a thin seal coat of the same resin and let it cure before the main pour. Moisture in wood is the #1 cause of bubbles.
2. Warm the components: If ambient temperature is below 20°C, warm both resin and hardener bottles in a water bath at 30-40°C. Cold resin is thick and traps bubbles.
3. Measure accurately: 3 parts Resin to 1 part Hardener by weight. 100g Resin + 33.3g Hardener. Use a digital scale – do not eyeball it.
4. Mix gently: Stir slowly for 2-3 minutes, scraping sides and bottom. Do not whip – aggressive mixing introduces air. Let the mixed resin rest for 5 minutes for bubbles to rise.
5. Pour: Pour in a thin stream from height to stretch and pop surface bubbles. For deep pours, pour in 25mm layers. Torch the surface lightly after each pour.
6. Cure: Maintain temperature between 20-35°C with humidity below 65%. Full cure in 24 hours at 25°C. For faster demould, post-cure at 40-60°C. Avoid pouring during monsoon season – high humidity retards the cure and causes blush.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mixing ratio of Bondone Clear Cast?
3 parts Resin to 1 part Hardener by weight. Use a weighing scale for best results. 100g Resin + 33.3g Hardener.
Can I pour a 2-inch thick river table in one go?
Clear Cast is formulated for deep pours up to 50mm (2 inches) without excessive exotherm. Pouring in 25mm layers is recommended for expensive wood slabs.
Is Bondone Clear Cast food safe?
Bondone Clear Cast is certified food safe. Once fully cured (24 hours), it is inert and safe for incidental food contact, like dining tables, kitchen countertops, bar tops, and charcuterie boards. The food contact certificate is available with every order.
Why are there bubbles in the cured resin?
Aggressive mixing causes 90% of bubble problems. The other 10% is from moisture in the wood or cold temperatures. Always warm your resin bottles in a water bath before mixing, and torch the surface after pouring.
How is Clear Cast different from ClearLam CC?
ClearLam CC is designed for thin surface coatings (1-2mm) and has a 45-60 minute pot life. Clear Cast is for deep casting (thick layers) with a 300-minute pot life. Do not use ClearLam for deep pours – it will overheat and crack.
What is the shelf life of Clear Cast?
12 months from manufacture date. Store in a cool, dry place. Hardener can crystallize in cold weather – just warm it up and it returns to liquid.
Does it yellow over time?
All epoxy resins amber slightly over years. Clear Cast uses advanced phenolic stabilizers, but for items in direct sunlight, the UV Stable variant is strongly recommended.
Can I use pigments and dyes with this resin?
You can use pigments and dyes with this resin. Use epoxy-specific liquid pigments or alcohol inks. Avoid water-based acrylics unless they are completely dry, as moisture kills the cure.
