How do I know which resin thickness to choose?

Understanding Maximum Pour Thickness

Each resin formula is designed for a maximum thickness per single pour, usually ranging between 1.5cm and 2cm. For example, “Icrystal” epoxy resin supports up to 1.5cm per layer, which is ideal for coatings, glossy art pieces and jewellery. Projects needing a deeper pour—such as embedded items or thicker castings—may benefit from a product like “Trasparente” epoxy resin that allows up to 2cm per application.

How to Match Resin to Your Project

• For fine layers, coatings, and surface art: Resins with a lower maximum thickness, such as 1.5cm, are both easy to manage and cure reliably with a crystal-clear finish.
• For casting thicker pieces or combining layers: Choose a resin designed for up to 2cm per pour. Multiple layers can also be built up by pouring in stages once the previous layer is stable.
• Looking for an all-in-one solution? Consider a resin kit like the “Trasparente” Epoxy Resin Kit, which comes complete with mica colour powder and mixing tools for instant creativity.

When Resin Thickness Selection Matters

Choosing the right thickness makes a real difference for table coatings, decorative artwork, and any casting or layering projects where clarity and cure reliability are important. Avoid exceeding a product’s recommended thickness in a single pour, as it can cause overheating or an uneven finish.
