Creating a stunning resin side table or a signature piece of resin art often calls for deep pour epoxy resins. Choosing the right resin for your project depth and technique ensures a smooth result and lasting quality.
What Is a Deep Pour Resin?
Deep pour epoxy resins are designed to be poured in thick layers, typically greater than 2cm, without excessive heat build-up or bubbles. Such resins are formulated for projects like river tables, side tables, and artistic castings where a significant thickness is needed, offering prolonged working time and a clear, durable finish.


Selecting the Right Pour Depth
When choosing a deep pour resin, consider your intended casting depth. Products like EpoxyTable 5-Five are suitable for pours up to 5cm, making them ideal for most side tables and medium-sized furniture. For artistic installations or large, chunky tabletops with castings up to 10cm, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” is crafted specifically to avoid overheating and maintain clarity at these depths. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines on maximum single-pour thickness for best results.
Practical Tips for Using Deep Pour Resins
- Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before pouring to prevent contamination or cloudiness.
- For large surface areas or deep pours approaching the maximum recommended depth, consider working in multiple layers and allowing for proper curing between layers.
- Using a resin kit, such as the River-Table Complete Kit, offers useful extras like sealants, pigments, and clear instructions for beginners.

When This Matters
Selecting the appropriate deep pour resin is especially important for anyone making thick, transparent furniture pieces or embedding decorative objects in tables, where both clarity and depth are critical to the finished effect.
