In this study, the mechanical behavior of radial spreading in resin with various viscosities and squeezed between two parallel glass slides was studied. Radial spreading rate was derived in the conventional way by using lubrication analysis of the Newtonian fluid with negligible capillary and Reynolds number. Simplified momentum and continuity equations were solved using the boundary conditions of a force balance in the vertical direction and an interfacial stress balance at the resin edge between the fluid and air interface. Then, the final equations for spreading radius and speed were derived by modifying the results for the vertical movement and vertical speed of the upper moving plane. The proposed theoretical work is advantageous for improved comparison with experiments. The work was verified through droplet spreading tests utilizing a wide range of resin samples of different viscosities and surface tension, droplet volumes of the sample and different external loadings. Experimental results were consistent with the theoretical predictions for spreading radius and spreading radial speed. Then, the surface tension was measured and compared based on a theoretical model to test the data by modifying the estimated value.
