If you’re planning your first river table, understanding the different epoxy resins included in your kit is key. The right resin choice will ensure a seamless casting and a clear finish.
Epoxy Resin Options Included
The River-Table kit provides two main epoxy resin types, tailored to your specific project requirements. You’ll find a transparent casting resin suitable for pours up to 2 cm thick, and a deep pour Epoxytable-5 resin designed for layers up to 5 cm thick in a single application. Both options help avoid excess heat build-up and reduce bubbles, resulting in a smooth, clear finish for your river table.
How to Choose Between 2 cm and 5 cm Pour Resins
- Shallow Projects (up to 2 cm): The transparent casting resin is ideal for thinner tables or detailed inlays, providing clarity without the risk of overheating.
- Deep Pour Applications (up to 5 cm): Select the Epoxytable-5 resin for thicker river table designs, allowing you to create a substantial pour in one go with greater ease.
Always ensure you’re pouring within the recommended limits to achieve the best results.
When Resin Type Matters Most
Choosing the correct resin thickness is particularly important for larger or deeper tables, or when embedding objects. Using a resin designed for your intended layer depth helps prevent problems like hazing, yellowing, or cracking.
