How thick can I pour E30 resin in one go?

Recommended Pour Thicknesses by Resin Type

• Deep pour formulas: Safe for single pours up to 10cm thick. Ideal when creating river tables or other bulky castings. Epoxytable 10-Ten offers a controlled low-exothermic cure so you don’t risk cracking or yellowing.
• Medium-depth resins: Best used at up to 5cm thickness. This is suitable for most furniture and art projects that need a solid form but not extreme depth.
• Ultra-clear ‘Trasparente’ resin: Designed for layers up to 2cm maximum in one go, making it reliable for smaller items, fine detail work, or jewellery projects.

Why Staged Pouring Matters

Pushing a resin beyond its recommended thickness can result in excessive heat and unwanted effects like bubbles, warping, or a milky finish. For deeper or larger projects, it’s best to pour in stages, especially if the item’s width or length is over 100cm, or if using over 8kg of resin at once. Allow each layer to partially cure (typically 6–8 hours) before proceeding with the next to maintain clarity and structural integrity.

When This Matters Most

The right pour depth is especially important for projects such as river tables, encapsulation castings, and clear surface coatings. Adhering to recommended limits gives you time to work, reduces the risk of defects, and helps ensure a long-lasting result.
