Creating thick castings requires a resin specially designed to handle deeper pours without overheating or losing clarity. If you’re planning a project deeper than 5cm, choosing the right product is crucial for smooth results.
Why Deeper Casts Need Special Resin
Standard resins are generally suited to shallow pours, as too much depth can cause excessive heat build-up, resulting in cracks, bubbles, and compromised clarity. For deep projects—like large river tables or thick moulded features—a dedicated deep pour resin offers the right balance of strength, clarity, and controlled curing.
Recommended Deep Pour Resin
For projects with pours exceeding 5cm, Epoxytable 10-Ten is an excellent choice. Formulated for castings up to 10cm in a single pour, it minimises the risk of overheating, preserves clarity, and includes reliable UV resistance. This ensures your deep pours remain clear and durable, making it particularly popular for river tables and dramatic embedded designs.
Tips for Successful Deep Pour Casting
- Check Project Dimensions: For projects exceeding 10cm thickness, multiple layers may be necessary for safe curing.
- Monitor Cure Time: Deep pour resins have longer working times, allowing air bubbles to escape before hardening.
- Environmental Conditions: Pour in a dust-free, stable temperature space to ensure a smooth finish.
When Deep Pour Resin Matters
Opt for a dedicated deep pour epoxy when your project needs solid, clear castings more than 5cm thick—especially for large table rivers, thick art pieces, or encapsulated features where clarity is key.
