If you’re looking to pour epoxy in layers up to 5cm thick, it’s important to choose a resin that handles deep pours with minimal heat build-up. Specialist deep-pour formulas help you achieve larger projects safely and with a crystal-clear finish.
Why Choose a Deep Pour, Low-Exotherm Epoxy?
Standard epoxy resins are not designed for thick layers, as they can overheat (exotherm) and cure unevenly or even crack. Deep pour resins, like EpoxyTable 5-Five, are formulated to control the curing reaction, allowing safe pouring of up to 5cm in a single layer. This makes them ideal for sizeable projects such as ‘river’ tables or encasing large objects.


Practical Tips for Deep Pour Resin Projects
- Work slowly: Pouring too quickly or exceeding the recommended thickness can lead to excessive heat and potential defects.
- Follow temperature guidelines: Carry out deep pours in a cool, well-ventilated area to help the resin cure steadily.
- Avoid rushing curing: Do not use external heat sources to speed up curing, as this can increase the risk of overheating.
- Use suitable resins: For pours between 2 and 5cm, opt for products specifically labelled for deep casting, such as EpoxyTable 5-Five. For thinner layers, consider Trasparente or Icrystal for smaller projects or detail work.
When Deep Pour Matters
Choosing a resin that supports up to 5cm deep pours is essential for projects like large tabletops, embedding objects, or any application that needs a thick, glass-like effect in one go. Using the correct formula helps ensure a clear, strong finish without unwanted heat damage.
