How Thickly Can I Pour Each Resin?

Recommended Pour Thickness for Furniture Resins

Different types of epoxy resins are designed for varying layer thicknesses. For general use on tables and surfaces, Icrystal resin can be poured up to 1.5 cm (15 mm) per layer. If you need a slightly thicker pour—such as for embedding or deeper coatings—Trasparente allows layers of up to 2 cm (20 mm). Staying within these limits will support a strong, fully cured finish.

Layering for Thicker Results

If you require an overall thicker protective coat, it’s best to work in multiple layers. Allow each layer to cure completely before applying the next. This stepwise approach prevents heat accumulation and incomplete hardening, ensuring the clarity and scratch-resistance remain intact.

• Pour each layer at or below the recommended thickness for your chosen resin
• Observe manufacturer’s curing times between coats
• Sand lightly between layers if needed for optimal adhesion

Practical Tips for a Durable Finish

For most domestic furniture projects, a single layer of 1–2 cm offers robust protection. Use dust-free conditions and mix resin accurately following the manufacturer’s ratio. For intricate or artistic top coats, like those applied with Art Pro, stick to the lower range (1–10 mm) for best clarity and scratch resistance.
