What Kinds of Epoxy Resin Are in the Kit?

Two Epoxy Resin Types Provided

The kit is thoughtfully equipped with two distinct kinds of epoxy resin. The first is a transparent casting resin, ideal for pouring layers up to 2 cm thick. This resin is suitable for detailed applications such as jewellery, smaller castings, and adding decorative touches to surfaces. The kit also includes a deep pour epoxy resin, specifically formulated for projects requiring up to 5 cm of depth per layer. This option is essential for large resin pours often seen in river tables and substantial art pieces, where a single thick layer is preferred to enhance structural integrity and visual impact.

Choosing the Right Resin for Your Project

Selecting which resin to use depends on your project goals. For clearer, bubble-free results in thin or detailed castings, the transparent resin for up to 2 cm is an excellent choice. For thicker tables or when embedding larger objects, the deep pour option is recommended, as it cures slowly enough to prevent excess heat and yellowing. If you are working on beginner projects, consider exploring the “River-Table” complete kit, which includes both resin types and comprehensive instructions.

When This Matters

• Layer Thickness: Ensuring you stay within the recommended pour depth can safeguard against cracks, bubbles, and incomplete curing.
• Project Size: Small decorative items require a fine casting resin, while ambitious projects like tables benefit from deep pour solutions.
• Crafting Safety: Always check the guidelines specific to each resin to guarantee safe and successful results, especially when layering or combining materials.
