I have made a wooden table top and in the centre I have cut out a rectangular shape ( 29cm by 60cm ) and glued down small ceramic tiles. The height of the inlay from top of the tiles to the level of table top is 8mm. Can I use GlassCast 30 to fill in the inlay and coat the table top all in one go, or do I need to use GlasCast 50 to fill in the inlay and pour Glasscast 30 over that and the rest of the table top. 

Hi Andrew,

GlassCast  3 will still work for this project.  In the past, people have poured it up to 10mm in one pour, although you would get better results doing this in 2 pours.  First fill in the inlay so it is level with the table, then once the resin is part cured and firm but tacky, then go for the second coat over the whole table.  This is a better way for 2 reasons: one, in this warm weather, it is less likely to get any heat distortion  doing it in 2 stages, and secondly,  doing it in two pours will give you a smoother overall finish as you are less likely to get any 3D effect on the surface from the inlay.
