Deep Pour Epoxy Resin Catalyst Mixing Guide

Creating striking deep-pour resin pieces such as river tables or art panels requires careful preparation—especially when mixing catalyst. The right ratio ensures your Epoxytable 10-Ten cures evenly and develops the perfect finish for your project.

Correct Ratio for Epoxytable 10-Ten

For deep pours using Epoxytable 10-Ten epoxy resin, the recommended mixture is 4 parts resin to 1 part catalyst (hardener) by weight. Using a precise digital scale is vital—too much or too little catalyst can cause issues like incomplete curing or overly rapid setting. Always double-check the labels or instructions supplied with your product to confirm the ratio matches your specific batch.

Mixing Method and Tips

Once measured, pour the resin and catalyst into a clean, wide mixing container. Begin stirring slowly but thoroughly, scraping the sides and base to ensure a consistent blend with no pockets of unmixed material. For large projects, consider mixing in smaller batches to maintain accuracy. Allow several minutes of gentle mixing to limit air bubble formation.

After blending, pour your resin smoothly into the mould or onto your work surface. If using custom silicone moulds, a product like I–Gum Silicone Putty works well and can help you achieve crisp, detailed edges for your pour.

When Precision Matters Most

  • Large deep castings (5 cm up to 10 cm thick).
  • Projects where clarity and bubble-free results are key.
  • Any application where full structural cure is essential for durability.
