Can I Create Deep Encapsulations or Castings in AUO Pockets?

← Back to Which resin is suitable for AUO pockets?

Encapsulating items or creating deep resin castings in AUO (Acrylic, Urethane, or Other) pockets is a striking way to embed and preserve objects with a crystal-clear finish. Choosing the right resin and technique is key for a flawless result.

Best Resin Choice for Deep Castings

For encapsulating layers up to 2 cm thickness, a high-clarity multipurpose epoxy like “Trasparente” Multipurpose Epoxy Resin is recommended. Its clear, self-levelling finish provides UV stability and long-lasting gloss, making it suitable for detailed castings within AUO pockets. For layers beyond 2 cm, it’s safer to pour in several thinner layers to control heat and avoid cloudiness or distortion.

Practical Pouring Tips

• Pour resin in increments no greater than 2 cm to ensure optimal clarity and cure consistency.
• Allow each layer to partially cure before adding the next; this minimises heat and reduces bubbles.
• Keep your workspace at a steady, moderate temperature to prevent issues with curing speed or resin yellowing.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s mixing ratios and instructions for best results.

When Deep Encapsulation Matters

Deep resin encapsulation in AUO pockets is ideal for displaying intricate items or creating statement jewellery. Layering also allows for arranging elements in 3D space, ensuring every embedded object is perfectly visible.
