Best Resin for Large Castings, Tables & Deep Projects

← Back to What material is resin?

Planning a large resin table, deep river pour, or thick artistic installation? Using the right type of resin is crucial for projects with any side over 100cm or castings thicker than 5cm, as standard formulas often struggle with clarity and heat management in these applications.

Why Deep Pour Epoxy Matters

When working on large or extra-thick resin projects, ordinary casting resins are prone to overheating and bubbles, leading to cloudy finishes or even cracks. Specially designed deep pour epoxy resins—like Epoxytable 10-Ten—provide a slow cure and low viscosity for optimal air release, crystal clear results, and minimal exothermic heat buildup up to 10cm per pour.

Practical Guidance for Large and Deep Castings

• Layer Wisely: Never exceed the recommended maximum thickness (typically 10cm per pour). For extra large tables, pour in stages for greater control and clarity.
• Temperature Control: Work in a stable, moderate environment to further reduce risk of overheating and to ensure even curing.
• Preparation Is Key: Ensure your mould, timber, and workspace are level and dust-free before mixing resin.

When This Matters Most

Choosing deep pour resin is essential for statement pieces—such as river tables exceeding 100cm in length—sculptural art, and any thick casting project where both structural stability and pristine clarity are non-negotiable.
