← Back to Epoxy resin for thick casting & river tables

Thick casting with epoxy resin opens up creative possibilities for river tables, art pieces, and large-scale projects. Choosing the right product and understanding the proper techniques ensures stunning, crystal-clear results.
What Is Thick Casting Epoxy Resin?
Thick casting epoxy resin is engineered to handle deep pours, typically ranging from 2cm to 10cm in a single layer. Unlike regular resins, deep pour options are formulated to cure slowly and minimise excess heat, reducing the risk of cracks or bubbles. This type of resin is ideal for statement pieces like river tables and solid resin inclusions.
How to Select and Use Epoxy Resin for Deep Pours
Selecting the correct epoxy resin depends on the thickness and size of your project. For depths up to 5cm, EpoxyTable 5-Five is a trusted solution. If your project requires pouring up to 10cm in one go, opt for Epoxytable 10-Ten for stable, clear results. For those new to epoxy furniture making, complete kits such as the River-Table Kit are available, providing resin, pigments, sealing materials, and step-by-step guidance.
- Ensure your workstation is dust-free and level.
- Mix carefully to reduce bubbles, using the recommended ratio for each product.
- Pour in stages if greater thickness is needed beyond the resin’s guidelines.
When Does Thick Casting Matter?
Choosing the proper resin for thick casting is essential for projects where a robust, transparent finish is crucial – such as river tables embedding natural materials or large-volume artistic creations. Using an epoxy resin formulated for deep pours ensures a consistent cure, fewer imperfections, and a project built to last.
