Can I Make Large Resin Vases?

What Resin Do You Need for Large Vases?

For large resin vases, especially those with thicker walls or greater height, you’ll need a deep pour resin such as EpoxyTable 5-Five. This type of epoxy is specially formulated for pours up to 5cm thick, minimising the risk of overheating and ensuring a clear, even finish.

If your vase is smaller in scale or the thickness is under 2cm, a multipurpose resin like “Trasparente” may be more cost-effective. Always select your resin based on the final thickness and overall size of your vase.

Practical Tips for Making Large Resin Vases

Large resin projects demand more careful planning than standard casts. Prepare a sturdy, heat-resistant workspace and make sure your mould is suitable for the intended size and volume. Pour your resin in layers if needed to avoid excessive heat build-up. Allow each layer to cure properly before adding the next to maintain clarity and structure.

• Use a high-quality silicone mould designed for deep pours.
• Measure and mix resin accurately for best results.
• Account for the higher resin volume: large vases can require several kilograms of epoxy, which increases project costs.

When Does the Size of the Vase Matter?

The larger and thicker your vase, the more it’s essential to use a deep pour resin. Attempting thicker pours with standard resin can lead to cloudiness or overheating. For decorative or functional vases, selecting the right material is crucial for both appearance and durability.
