Deep pour and table epoxy resins are specially engineered for creating thick, clear castings in one go. Understanding their unique mixing and pouring requirements is essential for achieving flawless results, especially in larger projects like resin tables and river pours.
Why mixing ratio matters for deep pours
Unlike surface coatings, deep pour epoxies such as EpoxyTable 5-Five and “Epoxytable 10-Ten” are formulated with precise resin-to-hardener ratios. This accuracy is crucial—a correct ratio ensures full curing and minimises the risk of cloudiness, soft spots or overheating. Altering the ratio can significantly impact performance and safety, especially as thick layers generate more heat during curing.
How much can you pour at once?
Deep pour epoxies specify safe single-layer thickness, commonly up to 5cm for EpoxyTable 5-Five and up to 10cm for Epoxytable 10-Ten. For exceptionally large areas or higher volumes, casting in stages is recommended—allow 6–8 hours between layers to control heat buildup and prevent cracking. Always check your product’s instructions on maximum pour depth and layering techniques.
Tips for safe and successful deep pour projects
- Measure components by weight, never by eye, and stick to the ratio listed on your resin packaging.
- Work at the right ambient temperature and ensure your resin and moulds are dust-free for best clarity.
- Allow sufficient time for each layer to partially cure before adding the next if your project requires extreme depth.
- Always use the resin suited to your desired thickness—products like “Trasparente” are better for layers up to 2cm only.
When this matters
Precise mixing and pour depths become critical in projects such as resin river tables, thick clear coatings for wood, and large castings. Adhering to manufacturer guidelines ensures a safe cure, superior clarity, and lasting durability.
