Why do deep pour resins cost more?

Special Formulation for Thick Pours

Regular resins can quickly overheat or become cloudy when poured in thick layers. Deep pour resins, such as EpoxyTable 5-Five, use advanced chemistry so you can pour up to 5cm or more in one go. This involves rigorous testing to control exothermic reactions, ensuring the resin cures slowly without distorting, warping, or trapping bubbles.

Clarity and Stability at Depth

The remarkable clarity of deep pour resins depends on select raw ingredients and careful balance of hardeners. This clarity remains even in thick layers—vital for river tables, art, or embedding items. Built-in UV resistance and a resilient formula reduce yellowing, but the real expense is ensuring glass-like results at greater depths that standard resins cannot achieve.

When Added Cost Really Matters

• Large Projects: For tables, countertops, or castings above 2cm thick, only a deep pour resin offers stability and clarity.
• Fewer Layers: Using a resin like “Epoxytable 10-Ten”—capable of up to 10cm casting—saves time and reduces seams in very deep pieces.
• Clarity is Critical: When embedding objects or showcasing wood grain, a premium deep pour is the right choice.
