Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables & Large Projects

← Back to Should I worry that a resin table might yellow?

Deep pour epoxy resin opens up exciting possibilities for stunning tables and large creative projects, allowing thick, bubble-free, and crystal-clear castings. Here’s a practical guide to choosing and using the right resin for your next big piece.

Choosing the Right Resin for Deep Pours

Not all epoxy resins are suited for thick applications. For table projects requiring up to 5cm thickness, EpoxyTable 5-Five is specially formulated to handle deep pours with a low exothermic reaction, reducing the risk of overheating or cracking. For even larger projects, such as castings up to 10cm thick, Epoxytable 10-Ten is recommended. For smaller or more detailed projects under 2cm, a multipurpose resin like Trasparente may suffice.

Best Practices for Pouring Deep Castings

Deep resin projects require careful technique. Pouring in layers helps prevent trapped air and ensures even curing. If embedding items, it’s best to pour a thin initial layer, allow it to set for 20–24 hours, then add your objects before successive pours. For very large surfaces or total resin exceeding 8kg, layer your pours, waiting 6–8 hours between each to avoid excessive heat build-up and ensure stability.

UV Resistance and Long-Term Clarity

One major concern with resin tables is yellowing over time, which is commonly caused by exposure to sunlight. Selecting a deep pour resin with strong UV filters, such as EpoxyTable 5-Five or Epoxytable 10-Ten, can greatly reduce the risk of discolouration. These products are formulated to retain clarity for years with proper indoor use, making them reliable choices for statement pieces in your home or workspace.

When This Matters

Deep pour epoxy resins are essential when creating thick table tops, countertops with embedded objects, or artistic installations requiring volume and durability. Using the correct formulation ensures your finished piece remains clear, strong, and vibrant.
