Epoxy Resin for Deep Pours up to 5cm Thickness

What Makes Deep Pour Epoxy Different?

Normal resins are only intended for thin layers, often no more than 1–2cm per pour. Attempting greater thickness in one go using standard products may lead to excessive heat build-up, bubbles, or cracking during curing. Specialised formulas like EpoxyTable 5-Five are manufactured for controlled, ultra-low exothermic reactions. This allows castings up to 5cm thick to set evenly, producing clear and durable results.

Practical Tips for Deep Pour Success

• Ensure your mould is perfectly sealed to avoid leaks when working with larger volumes.
• Mix the resin and hardener thoroughly, following exact ratios and instructions provided by the manufacturer.
• Pour in a single, slow motion if possible. For very large projects or when pouring over 5cm, layer in stages to ensure a safe cure.
• Maintain a steady room temperature; extreme heat or cold can affect the curing process.

When Does Deep Pour Resin Matter?

Choosing a deep pour epoxy really matters for applications like river tables, large cast sculptures, thick countertops, or any project where a single clear, bubble-free layer up to 5cm is needed. Using the correct resin prevents the common pitfalls of thick pours.
