Formulation for High-Thickness Epoxy Resin Casting up to 10 cm

What Makes a Resin Suitable for Deep Pours?

Epoxy resins designed for high-thickness casting, such as up to 10 cm, are formulated with low exothermic reactions. This means they generate less heat during curing, helping to prevent cracks, cloudy finishes, or yellowing. Look for resins that mention bubble-free pouring and a slower curing time, ensuring the resin can harden fully even in thick sections.

Best Practices for High-Thickness Casting

For successful deep pours, always work on a level, clean surface and ensure your formwork is well-sealed. Pour resin steadily to avoid entrapping air bubbles. For especially wide or large projects, consider pouring in two or more layers, leaving several hours between each, to avoid excessive heat build-up. Protective gloves and good ventilation are recommended throughout.

A specialist product like “Epoxytable 10-Ten” Deep Pour Epoxy Resin is formulated specifically for up to 10 cm pours and comes with detailed instructions.

When to Choose High-Thickness Formulations

• River tables and artistic furniture builds
• Clear encasement of large objects or wood slabs
• Decorative pieces where a glass-like depth effect is desired

If your project is less than 5 cm thick, a product for mid-depth casting, such as “EpoxyTable 5-Five”, may be more suitable.
