Does the Price Vary Between Table and Jewellery Resins?

Why Deeper Pour Resins for Tables Usually Cost More

Resins formulated for deep pours, such as those used in resin tables or river tables, are engineered to allow large volumes to cure clearly without overheating. These typically enable pouring layers between 2-10cm in one go, and require careful chemistry to prevent issues like cracking or bubbling. As a result, products like “EpoxyTable 5-Five” command a higher price per litre than resins intended for smaller crafts.

Jewellery and Small Project Resins: Designed for Detail

Jewellery and small casting projects need resins optimised for thin layers—typically 1-2cm or less. These formulations, such as “Icrystal” and “Trasparente”, cure quickly, are easier to measure out, and are generally packaged in smaller, more affordable quantities. For detailed work, they offer crystal clarity and simplicity without the complex engineering of deep pour resins.

Choosing the Right Resin for Your Project

• For deep tables and large river pours (2cm–10cm): opt for specialised deep-pour resins.
• For jewellery, coasters, or art up to 2cm thick: general casting or jewellery resins are more cost-effective.
• Always check the recommended maximum pour depth—using a table resin for tiny items can be wasteful, while a jewellery resin in a thick pour could overheat or remain tacky.
