Which Projects Benefit from 10cm Pours?

← Back to How to cast your dream table with epoxy resin

For bold epoxy river tables, art blocks, and furniture needing an impressive solid look, deep single resin pours up to 10cm create seamless clarity and strength. Discover when a 10cm pour is the right approach, what types of projects benefit, and how to choose the right deep-casting resin for flawless thick results.

When to Use a 10cm Resin Pour

Using a single deep pour up to 10cm is best when visual impact, transparency, or uncompromised strength are key features of your work. Choose a 10cm pour in these cases:

River tables and waterfall edges: Achieve an uninterrupted resin centre in large timber slabs or dramatic table designs.
Thick art blocks and chunky inlays: Embed large forms or create bold pigment effects in one seamless pour, without lines between layers.
Centrepiece furniture pieces: When your design needs uniform depth and durability for functional strength and a showpiece finish.

Choosing the Right Resin for Deep 10cm Pours

Selecting the most suitable resin is crucial for successful deep pours. For projects requiring a single cast up to 10cm thick, EpoxyTable 10-Ten is purpose-formulated to safely handle thicker pours and reduce the risk of overheating or colour loss. For pours between 2cm and 5cm thick, EpoxyTable 5-Five offers greater versatility while still achieving high clarity and a strong finish.

EpoxyTable 10-Ten: Ideal for ambitious, deep single pours and large castings up to 10cm.
EpoxyTable 5-Five: Best for mid-depth work, detailed effects, or when layering is more practical for your project’s size.

Practical Considerations for Large and Deep Casts

If any side of your project exceeds 100cm or the total thickness is above 5cm, always ensure your chosen resin is up to the task—both for clarity and for minimising heat build-up. With deep pours, it’s essential to:

Check the manufacturer’s maximum recommended pour depth for your resin.
Consider staged pours only if your project exceeds the safe limit, to avoid defects or overheating.
Allow for longer curing times in cooler, ventilated conditions to preserve clarity and structure.
