Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables & Large Projects

What Is Deep Pour Epoxy Resin?

Deep pour epoxy is designed to allow thicker layers in a single pour without excessive heat or yellowing. Standard tabletop epoxies are limited to thin applications (often under 2cm), while deep pour formulas such as EpoxyTable 5-Five safely support clear castings up to 5cm deep. For especially ambitious projects, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” is suitable for pours of up to 10cm. These specialist blends feature ultra-low exothermic reaction, reducing the risk of cracks or surface distortion even in thick river table applications.

Choosing the Right Resin for Your Table Project

Resin choice should reflect the scale of your piece and desired pour depth. For most table projects, EpoxyTable 5-Five is ideal for casting and coating up to 5cm thick in one go. If you plan to pour deeper than 5cm in a single layer—such as in large river tables or deep art blocks—the Epoxytable 10-Ten variety is formulated to handle thicknesses up to 10cm, maintaining clarity and structural integrity. Always consult the product guide for mixing ratios and layer limits. Beginners might also consider an all-in-one kit, like the River-Table Complete Kit, which provides resin, formwork materials, pigments, and thorough instructions.

Practical Tips for Pouring Large Resin Projects

• Mix accurately by weight, following the manufacturer’s guidance—EpoxyTable 5-Five uses a 100:55 ratio (resin to hardener).
• Pour in a dust-free environment and avoid temperatures below 16°C for best curing.
• For castings thicker than specified (over 5cm/10cm), pour in stages to maintain quality.
• Work slowly to limit bubbles, as deep pour epoxies offer generous working time.
