if you can, for a mold i would go and buy one of those plastic cavities for your stones, something like the fishing plastic boxes you would store plastic worms etc in. like this,
https://hrtackle.com/products/bubblegum-worm-kit minus the worms of course. this will allow for your epoxy to not stick to the walls like before. choose the size mold that fits the stone your trying to make. rule of thumb for viscosity, mix as little epoxy as possible to the abrasive, but make sure its not so thick that it doesnt settle flat. if it has too much abrasive you will see it rise in mounds that will never level out. if your using grit size ballpark 600 and heavier 240 grit, 120 grit etc, when mixing it will not stay suspended at all(in my experience with deep pour). it is heavy it will sink to the bottom of the epoxy as you had happen, like sand on the ocean floor settled. I actually prefer this because I know the cutting area is most condensed at the bottom of the stone where it settled. the smaller grit like 800 plus ive had good luck with it staying in suspension while the epoxy cures. it takes alot of abrasive to make a big stone for sure, and i would make sure you only use identical sized grits if your going to mix diamond with sic. they typically take over a week to cure and for me even like 6-7 days in i could still slowly bend the stone, so dont be impatient if you use the long cure stuff, i had a few bend on me that I had to put so much effort into flattening it wasnt worth the headache. you can try the faster setting stuff, I hadn’t tried it but im sure it will work just as well. once you have a hardened stone, i used a belt sander/sandpaper and a flat surface to cut off the top excess epoxy and then I lap the other concentrated side on rough stones. its a tedious project but hands down worth the fact you can make 10 stones to the cost of 1 if you have the energy to spare. I like saying I made stuff.
