Single Pour Up to 10cm with Epoxy Resin: Tips and Essentials

Choosing the Right Epoxy Resin

For thick single pours up to 10cm, it’s important to select an epoxy resin designed specifically for deep casting. Traditional resins may overheat or cure unevenly if poured too thick. A product like Epoxytable 10-Ten is formulated with a low exothermic reaction, preventing overheating and ensuring clarity even in thicker layers. Always check the resin’s specifications and do not exceed manufacturer recommendations for single-pour thickness and volume.

Preparation and Pouring Best Practices

Before pouring, ensure your mould or table form is fully sealed and level. Work in a clean, dust-free environment to avoid imperfections. Mix the resin slowly and thoroughly according to the product’s guidelines, as deep pour formulations generally cure more slowly, allowing air bubbles to rise and escape. Pour steadily in one go, rather than in layers, when working within the resin’s recommended maximum thickness per pour. Avoid external heat sources during curing, as excessive heat can cause an uncontrolled reaction even with deep pour formulas.

When Deep Pours Matter

• Large river tables and slab furniture that require a seamless, crystal-clear resin fill
• Thick decorative castings, such as artistic centrepieces, where a single uniform layer is needed
• Projects where layered pours are impractical or may leave visible lines
