How to make epoxy resin more liquid?
A guide to choosing the right low viscosity resin
If you want smoother flows, flawless detail filling, and easier manipulation of epoxy resin, the key is choosing a formula with low viscosity—essentially, a more liquid resin. This page is for artists, DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, and professionals aiming to compare resin options specifically designed for superior liquidity and ease of pouring. Here, you’ll find an overview of the top ResinPro products that deliver a thinner, more manageable consistency without compromising performance.
Comparison of Low Viscosity Epoxy Resins
Not all epoxy resins have the same thickness or flow characteristics. Low viscosity (or “more liquid”) formulations penetrate fine details, fill deep moulds, and spread smoothly across surfaces. The differences mostly come down to their design purpose: intricate artwork and jewellery, deep casting projects, or even wood restoration. Below, we highlight key considerations and compare our leading thinner resin solutions to help you select the right one for your specific project. Whether you need exceptional clarity, deep penetration, or reliable durability, choosing the correct low viscosity resin will make both your workflow and finished piece markedly better.
Why Low Viscosity Matters in Resin Projects
Low viscosity (thinner) epoxy resins ensure easy pouring, uniform spreading, and superior penetration into detailed moulds or porous materials. Choosing the right fluidity avoids bubbles and uneven finishes, making the crafting process more efficient and your results more polished.
“Liquidissima” – For Creations & Jewellery
“Liquidissima” – Epoxy Resin For Creations & Jewellery is specially engineered for artists who demand a water-clear, highly flowable resin. Its Low Viscosity ensures it perfectly reaches into the tiniest mould crevices, making it a standout choice for jewellery and detailed artistic creations. The formula offers a Long Working Time, which supports more elaborate pieces without the rush. With built-in technology to Minimise Air Bubbles, it creates a flawless finish that is often hard to achieve with standard resins. Additionally, it’s compatible with epoxy dyes from 0.1% to 2% concentration for custom colouring without compromising liquidity.
“Epoxytable 10-Ten” – For Deep Casting & Tables
For projects where volume matters, such as river tables and large castings, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables, Up to 10cm Casting stands out. Its Super low viscosity formula is designed specifically to facilitate deep pours, reducing the chance of bubbles and ensuring even, uninterrupted spreading of the resin. The product is also formulated with a Low exothermic reaction, which guards against overheating—even in thick layers up to 10 cm. This makes it ideal for crafting large transparent slabs and feature pieces where maintaining clarity and structural integrity is essential.
“EpoxyTable 5-Five” – For Medium-Depth Castings
When your needs fall between small art projects and bulky tables, “EpoxyTable 5-Five” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables and Large Projects – Up to 5cm offers the right balance. With Low viscosity supporting quick, even filling of medium-depth moulds (up to 5 cm), it’s also equipped with Highly mechanical resistant surface and thoughtful UV protection. This resin is great for woodworking, home décor, and projects where both clarity and a scratch-resistant finish are demanded, all while keeping the mixture highly liquid during work time.
“EpoxyWood” – For Deep Penetration in Wood Restoration
Unlike thicker structural or coating epoxies, “EpoxyWood” – Wood Restoration Epoxy Resin for Deep Penetration and Waterproofing brings an ultra-low viscosity—meaning it’s exceptionally liquid and fully capable of soaking into wooden pores. It’s ideal for those looking to deeply reinforce and waterproof timber, boat hulls, or furniture. The mixture’s fluidity enables it to work where less liquid resins simply can’t, all while being Eco-Conscious and free from solvents. This product will slightly tint the wood a warm hue, accentuating its natural grain rather than leaving a colourless finish.
Choosing the Right Resin for Your Project
When it comes to selecting a “more liquid” epoxy resin, consider the project’s requirements: do you need exceptional penetration for porous materials like wood, or a clear bubble-free casting for art? Liquidity is crucial for detailed moulds and deep pours; however, using an ultra-fluid resin for surface coatings may reduce thickness and impact durability. Always check your resin’s technical profile, working time, and best-use cases—choosing a resin optimised for your purpose and desired finish will improve both your results and the application experience.
Expert Tips for Working with Liquid Epoxy Resin
Work in a dust-free environment and measure components by weight for best results. Allow time for air bubbles to rise and pop, and always pour in layers if working with thick castings to control exothermic reaction. Check your chosen resin’s application limits, and use only within recommended thickness for optimal finish.
