“EpoxyTable 5-Five” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables and Large Projects – Up to 5cm
If your designs include deeper resin layers or larger tables, EpoxyTable 5-Five stands out for deep pours up to 5cm. Its low-exothermic formulation prevents overheating, while strong UV filters ensure a clear, non-yellowing finish for years. This product also offers excellent scratch resistance, low viscosity for bubble-free finishes, and heat resistance up to 70°C. For tables, countertops, and artistic resin-wood pieces that require stability and smoothness at greater thickness, this is a professional solution. If your casting needs exceed 8kg or your project surface exceeds 100cm in one dimension, pouring in layers is advised.

The product is both vegan and cruelty-free for conscientious creators.
“EpoxyWood” – Wood Restoration Epoxy Resin for Deep Penetration and Waterproofing
If your project involves the preservation and enhancement of wood rather than creative casting, EpoxyWood offers deep-penetrating waterproofing for timber, furniture, or boat hulls. Its ultra-low viscosity allows it to reinforce wood from within, making surfaces highly durable and resilient to water. The subtle straw-yellow tint accentuates the natural beauty of wood and the formula is entirely solvent-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. This resin is recommended for restoration, outdoor projects, and any application requiring robust waterproofing and a tough, lasting finish.
Tips for Successful Resin and Wood Projects
When combining wood and resin, begin with meticulously dried, sanded timber to prevent moisture issues. Test pour on a small section before committing to large castings, especially when using new resins or working with thick pours. For deep projects, work in stages if needed to avoid excess exothermic heat and potential cracking—each product above details safe maximum pour depths. Always mix resins thoroughly but gently to minimise bubbles and use pigments designed for epoxy if adding colour. Finish with polishing steps included in kits, or use a product like “EpoxyWood” for restoration, to optimise longevity and aesthetics.
