Which Resin Is Best for Various Casting Thicknesses?

Matching Resin to Pour Thickness

For shallow projects, such as jewellery or small craft items, you’ll often need just 1–2cm of resin at a time. “Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin is ideal for pours up to 2cm, delivering an ultra-clear finish and good scratch resistance.

If your cast is even thinner—say, under 1.5cm, especially for surface coatings or table art—consider “Icrystal” Epoxy for its odourless formula and great transparency.

Deep Pour Solutions

Larger river tables, thick blocks, or art pieces require a resin specialised for deep casting. Epoxytable 10-Ten supports pouring up to 10cm in a single layer, reducing risks of overheating and bubbles that often occur with deep pours. Its slow curing and bubble-release qualities make it the safer choice for robust, thick projects.

When Thickness Matters Most

• Layering Safety: Attempting to pour thick layers with a resin meant for thin coatings can result in overheating or improper curing.
  
• Project Size: For very large or deep pieces, always use a resin formulated for that depth to avoid distortion or clarity loss.

Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines and pour in layers if exceeding the recommended depth for your chosen product.
