Is “Liquidissima” Suitable for Thick Castings?

Recommended Thickness for Liquidissima

“Liquidissima” epoxy resin is engineered for creativity and precision, performing best in castings up to 1 cm thick. Its low viscosity ensures superb flow, making it particularly suited for detailed and intricate moulds such as jewellery, tiny sculptures, and complex craft components. However, for projects that demand deeper layers, using Liquidissima beyond this thickness is not recommended, as even small increases can affect curing, clarity, and overall results.

Choosing the Right Resin for Thicker Castings

If your work requires casting in layers thicker than 1 cm—such as deeper art pieces or larger decorative objects—it’s worth choosing a specialised resin designed for deeper pours. For instance, “Trasparente” Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin is formulated for pours up to 2 cm. This will help achieve better curing and clarity in your final product, avoiding issues like overheating or incomplete hardening common with unsuitable resins for thick layers.

When Using Liquidissima Matters Most

• Fine detail: Perfect for artistic jewellery, embedded objects, and intricate decoration where precise mould filling and clarity are crucial.
• Longer working time: The extended open time allows you to position elements and eliminate air bubbles effectively, resulting in a high-quality, crystal-clear finish.
