Which Resin for Super-Deep Encapsulation of Wood?

← Back to What moisture content should the wood have before encapsulating it in resin?

For spectacular river tables and statement wood pieces, super-deep resin encapsulation offers clarity and structural stability. The right epoxy is crucial for safely casting layers several centimetres thick without compromising the finish or durability.

Choosing the Right Deep Pour Epoxy Resin

If your project involves pouring resin deeper than standard craft applications, specific deep-pour formulations are vital. For pours up to 5cm, EpoxyTable 5-Five offers a low-exotherm reaction, minimising the risk of cracking or yellowing. For extra-deep encapsulation, such as large table slabs requiring up to 10cm in a single pour, Epoxytable 10-Ten is formulated to handle the extra bulk with ease.

Working with Large Slabs and Multiple Pours

When casting very large slabs or pieces, it’s usually safer to pour in layers, especially for resin exceeding manufacturer guidance per layer. Allow full curing between each pour to avoid overheating and potential defects. Both recommended resins have extended working times, which is helpful when working with complex or oversized projects.

When Super-Deep Encapsulation Matters

• Ideal for eye-catching river tables and one-of-a-kind furniture.
• Required when encapsulating thick wood slabs or creating large resin art pieces where visual clarity and a bubble-free finish are essential.
