An epoxy resin formulated for thick, clear castings up to 10cm, commonly used for river tables and artistic deep pour projects. For truly spectacular deep-cast river tables, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables, Up to 10cm Casting is the market leader, enabling single-pour depths of up to 10cm. This makes it ideal for wide, chunky centrepieces, deeply sculpted river effects, or larger format tables.

Specialist ultra-high viscosity epoxy resin designed for artists requiring precise control in resin art projects. For artisans and meticulous creators, “Art Pro Deluxe” – Ultra-High Viscosity Epoxy Resin for Artists offers supreme control thanks to its ultra-high viscosity, helping prevent colours from blending and keeping lines defined in visually intricate projects.

Choosing the Right Epoxy Resin for Your River Table Project

Deciding which epoxy resin to use depends on your project’s thickness, scale, and intended visual effects. If aiming for a large river table with a central “river” deeper than 5cm, Epoxytable 10-Ten is engineered expressly for these demanding applications, allowing deep single-stage castings without risk of overheating or yellowing.

For most classic river tables up to 5cm thick, EpoxyTable 5-Five provides optimal balance—pure, bubble-free clarity, reliable UV and heat resistance, and the flexibility to pour in a single stage. Results are consistently professional for tabletops, breakfast bars, and functional design pieces.

Beginners looking for a no-fuss, comprehensive kit should consider the River-Table Complete Kit. Every compound and accessory is curated for your convenience and success—and you’ll receive full guidance for each stage, from sealing to polishing.
