Epoxy Resins Formulated for Deep Pours up to 10cm with Low Exothermic Reaction

Why Use a Low Exothermic Resin for Deep Pours?

Deep pour applications require a formulation that keeps heat build-up (exothermic reaction) to a minimum. Excess heat during curing can cause cracks, yellowing, or unfinished hardening in thick layers. Resins like the Epoxytable 10-Ten are developed specifically for castings up to 10cm. These resins cure slowly and evenly, maintaining clarity and strength throughout the mass.

Tips for Working with Deep Casting Epoxy Resins

• Measure carefully: Stick to the recommended maximum pour depth to avoid excessive heat.
• Pour in one stage: Where possible, deep cast resins allow you to fill up to 10cm at once, reducing the need for layer lines.
• Work in the right conditions: Choose a dust-free environment and moderate temperature to minimise cloudiness and bubbles.

Patience is essential—these resins often cure over several hours or more, offering time to adjust or embed objects into the wood or resin surface.

When This Matters Most

Selecting a deep-casting, low-exothermic resin is especially important for river tables, embedded wood installations, and any creative project that demands clear, thick sections in one pour. Attempting deep pours with standard resins can lead to ruined projects through overheating or improper setting.
