Hi guys, I’m going to being a resin table soon which will be half wood and half resin, I’m looking to use hairpin legs of which 2 will be into the wood and 2 into the resin. What would be the best way to fix into the resin? I’ve tried searching the web but haven’t really found anything.

You can bond to or insert fixings in the resin for the legs, however, if it is in an area of resin, it will be visible on the top of the table so you may need to take that into consideration.

Thanks Warren, I’m looking to use the silver pearl ex for the resin so it will hopefully mean any fixings aren’t visible! 


Is it possible to screw into the resin, tap it to take a bolt or fix a threaded insert into it?

You ideally want a fixing that will spread the load a little.

However most  good quality hairpin style legs have a large flat plate with 4 or more screw holes to locate, in which case you will likely be fine going into the resin direct.
