How Thick Can I Pour With Each Epoxy Resin?

Maximum Pour Thickness by Resin Type

Each epoxy resin has its own safe maximum pouring thickness per layer:

• Icrystal: Up to 1.5cm per pour. Ideal for coatings, jewellery, and fine details. Icrystal delivers clarity and odourless application for creative projects.
• Trasparente: Up to 2cm per pour. Great for multipurpose casts and craft work needing a thicker build, such as small tabletops and art pours.
• EpoxyTable 5-Five: Up to 5cm per pour. Specially designed for deep pours, such as resin river tables, complex castings, and large furniture pieces.

Always follow manufacturer recommendations, as thicker pours can risk overheating or incomplete curing.

Tips for Successful Layered Pours

If your design requires a thicker overall build than allowed per layer, pour in several stages. Let each layer cure fully before adding the next, which helps avoid trapped air, cracking, or yellowing.

• Work in a well-ventilated space and monitor temperature for best results.
• Measure and mix accurately to maintain clarity and strength.
• Use a resin matched to your intended project depth to keep the finish free from bubbles and defects.

When Pour Thickness Matters Most

Choosing the correct layer thickness is particularly crucial for:

• Large tables and deep castings, where structural integrity and clarity are key
• Detailed work, such as jewellery, where thin, bubble-free pours matter
• Projects using inclusions or pigments, as thicker layers can complicate even mixing
