Resin Calculator for Dice, Chess and Domino Sets
Pick a set, adjust the number of pieces and the volume of each cavity to match your mold, and get how much resin to mix in total and per batch.
Mix in total
– ml
– fl oz
| Mold cavities hold | – |
| Resin (part A) | – |
| Hardener (part B) | – |
| Per color batch | – |
Ratio split is by volume. Check your label for weight ratios.

- Choose dice, chess or dominoes.
- Change the counts and the ml per piece to match your mold. The water test gives the exact number.
- Enter how many colors you will mix. Each color is a separate small batch.
How the calculation works
- Mold volume = sum of (count × ml each) × number of sets
- Mix total = mold volume × (1 + extra %)
- Resin = total × A ÷ (A + B); hardener = total × B ÷ (A + B)
Typical resin per set
| Set | Cavities hold | Mix with 25% extra |
|---|---|---|
| Polyhedral dice set | 24 ml | 30 ml (1 fl oz) |
| Chess set | 398 ml | 498 ml (16.8 fl oz) |
| Domino set | 344 ml | 431 ml (14.6 fl oz) |
Tips for dice and game pieces
- Use a casting resin with a long working time so bubbles can rise out of small cavities.
- A pressure pot gives the clearest dice, but slow pouring and warm resin also help.
- Pour a little over the top of each cavity; you sand the sprue flat after demolding.
Frequently asked questions
How much resin do I need for a dice set?
A standard 7-piece polyhedral set holds about 24 ml of resin. Mix about 30 ml (25% extra) to fill the sprues and allow for what stays in the cup.
How much resin for a chess set?
A typical 32-piece resin chess set needs roughly 398 ml for the pieces, or about 17 fl oz with 25% extra. Large tournament-size molds can need much more.
How much resin for a domino set?
A 28-tile double-six set with 2 × 1 inch tiles takes about 344 ml, or 15 fl oz with extra.
How do I find the exact volume of my mold?
Fill each cavity with water, pour it into a cup on a gram scale and read the weight. One gram of water is one milliliter. Enter that number for the piece.
