Facebook← Back to Epoxy resin: tips for thick pours of two inches and beyond?
If you’re planning a river table project, getting the right resin pour thickness is crucial for a flawless result. Here’s what to know before you start pouring with the River-Table kit.
Maximum Pour Thickness in One Go
The River-Table kit includes epoxy resin designed for two options: a standard casting resin for pours up to 2 cm thick and a deep pour variant suitable for single layers up to 5 cm. Choosing the right formula will depend on how dramatic you want the “river” feature or depth effect to be. For thicker sections beyond this, it’s recommended to pour in multiple layers to avoid issues like overheating or cloudiness.
Pouring Safely and Achieving Clarity
For the clearest results and to minimise bubbles or warping, stick to the maximum recommended thickness per pour. Always mix carefully, take your time with the pour, and allow each layer to cure fully if you need to build up greater depth. Using a proper formwork and the included silicone sealant ensures the resin stays contained.
- Let each layer cool and harden before adding the next if exceeding 5 cm.
- Keep the workspace at a consistent temperature for best curing and clarity.
- Follow all instructions in the kit—proper ratios and careful mixing are key for strong, clear results.
When This Matters
Understanding pour limits is vital when making thick statement tables, deep river features, or embedding objects in resin. Ignoring these guidelines may lead to defects or require extensive sanding and repairs later on.
