Choosing the right epoxy resin is crucial for successful deep pour projects like tables and artistic castings. If you’re considering thick pours, it’s important to know your resin’s limitations and best-use guidelines.
Deep Pour Capabilities of EpoxyTable 5-Five
EpoxyTable 5-Five is specifically designed for thick castings, allowing pours up to 5cm in a single layer. Thanks to its carefully balanced formula, it maintains a low exothermic reaction—minimising the risk of overheating or deforming the material during curing. This makes it highly suitable for large resin tables, river tables, and artistic block projects that require depth and clarity.
Unlike some resins, EpoxyTable 5-Five doesn’t require any cobalt-based accelerators; simply combine the resin and hardener thoroughly using the recommended 100:55 weight ratio for optimal results.


Tips for Successful Thick Resin Pours
To maximise results and minimise issues like bubbles or surface imperfections, always mix slowly and pour incrementally. Allow each layer to cure before adding another if you exceed the 5cm single-pour limit. Work in a temperature-stable, dust-free environment and avoid direct sunlight during curing for a crystal-clear finish. For project inspiration, the EpoxyTable 5-Five deep pour kit is tailored to these demands and comes with detailed instructions.
When Deep Pour Capability Matters
- Creating river tables, large tabletops, or thick decorative slabs
- Maintaining bubble-free, mechanically robust castings
- Projects needing clarity and thickness beyond typical resins
