Selecting the right epoxy resin depends on the material you are working with and the thickness of your project. This guide will help you match the correct epoxy to your application for reliable results.
Epoxy for Wood, Tables and Artistic Surfaces
When coating or casting wood, tables or mixed-media surfaces, the thickness of the pour is crucial. For thin coatings or delicate castings up to 2cm, a high-clarity multipurpose formula like “Trasparente” provides a glossy, self-levelling finish. For deeper pours (2–5cm) such as river tables or large wood slabs, use a specialised deep pour epoxy such as “EpoxyTable 5-Five”. Projects needing even greater depth, such as substantial art pieces or large tables, require a super-deep pour formula like “Epoxytable 10-Ten”, suitable for layers up to 10cm.
Matching Epoxy to Outdoor and Flooring Projects
For outdoor areas, decorative floors, or permeable surfaces, choose products that include guidance for the surface and intended finish. For example, permeable pebble driveways or garden paths are best created with systems that specify resin types for particular stone colours and offer step-by-step instruction. Select polyurethane-based resin for white aggregates to reduce yellowing and a low-yellowing epoxy for coloured stones. Always check if the surface requires a specific binder for durability and weather resistance.
When This Matters: Surface & Depth Affect Results
Using the correct epoxy resin for your surface helps ensure proper bonding, prevents issues such as bubbles or overheating, and achieves a long-lasting, clear finish. Thicker pours demand resins designed to minimise heat build-up, while thin castings benefit from self-levelling, multipurpose formulas. Choosing wisely saves time and protects your project.
