← Back to How do you catalyse cast synthetic resin?

Casting resin projects beyond standard thicknesses—such as river tables or artistic blocks—requires careful planning and the right materials. Learn how to achieve clear, consistent super-deep pours up to 10cm for impressive results.
Selecting the Right Resin for Deep Pours
For projects requiring depths up to 10cm, it’s essential to use a resin formulated specifically for deep casting. Standard art or jewellery resins are not suitable, as they can generate excess heat (exotherm), risking cracks or yellowing. “Epoxytable 10-Ten” deep pour resin is engineered to handle super-thick applications due to its very low exothermic reaction and extended working time, resulting in clear, bubble-free pours.
Essential Techniques for Successful Super-Deep Pouring
- Measure and mix accurately: Follow the recommended resin-to-hardener ratios, mixing thoroughly to ensure a complete cure.
- Avoid rushing: Pour steadily in a single layer up to 10cm, unless your project requires multiple pours for added safety or complexity.
- Temperature control: Work in a well-ventilated space, ideally between 18–25°C, to help prevent bubbles and improper curing.
- Allow time to cure: Super-deep pours take longer to fully harden. Avoid handling the project too soon to ensure clarity and structural strength.
When Super-Deep Pouring Matters
Choosing a resin designed for 10cm deep pours is crucial for large castings, thick river tables, and artwork with embedded objects. The correct product helps prevent overheating and delivers a flawless, long-lasting finish.
