How to Avoid Overheating When Pouring “Trasparente” Resin

Stick to Safe Pouring Thickness

The most important step when using “Trasparente” is to pour in layers up to 2cm thick. Pouring thicker layers increases the risk of excess heat and can lead to defects such as bubbles, yellowing, or cracking. For any deeper castings, consider a resin designed specifically for thicker pours.

If your project requires thicker sections, build it up gradually. Allow each layer to set before adding the next, maintaining a maximum 2cm thickness per pour for best results. For projects over 2cm deep, an alternative such as Epoxytable-Five may be more suitable.

Control the Environment and Curing

Resin curing is an exothermic process—heat is naturally generated. To prevent overheating, maintain your working space in a moderate temperature range (ideally below 25°C) and never try to speed things up by applying direct heat or forced curing (for example, by using heat guns or placing resin in a hot room).

• Avoid pouring resin if your workspace is warm.
• Always allow natural curing at room temperature.

Practical Mixing and Pouring Guidance

Thoroughly mix the two resin components as instructed, and work slowly to avoid introducing excess air. Use small batches if tackling a large project to minimise the chance of high heat build-up.

Choosing the right product matters as well—“Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin is specifically designed for pours up to 2cm, promoting controlled curing and a clear finish.
