Is iCrystal Suitable for Thick Resin Casting or Layers Over 1.5 cm?

Understanding iCrystal’s Application Limits

iCrystal clear epoxy resin is optimised for layers up to 1.5 cm per application. This limitation ensures a controlled curing process, promoting high clarity and minimising bubbles or overheating. Attempting thicker pours in a single go may result in improper curing, cloudiness, or heat build-up, which can compromise the finish and durability of your piece.

Alternatives for Thicker Casts and Surfaces

If your project requires a resin pour deeper than 1.5 cm, consider using products suited to thicker applications. “Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin supports casting up to 2 cm per layer, making it ideal for slightly deeper surfaces or features. For especially deep pours, choose a resin specifically formulated for deep or table casting, ensuring structural integrity and a crystal clear finish even at greater depths.

Practical Tips for Resin Casting

• Always pour resin in layers when exceeding the maximum recommended thickness for your chosen product.
• Allow each layer to fully cure before applying the next for optimal results.
• Review temperature and environmental guidelines for best performance and appearance.
