The Best Choice for Deep Pouring

For resin art, river tables, or creative furniture builds requiring thick, crystal-clear castings, using the right deep pour resin is essential for great results and hassle-free application.

What Makes a Resin Suitable for Deep Pouring?

Deep pour resins are specifically formulated with a low exothermic reaction to handle thicker castings—usually between 2cm and 5cm in a single pour. These resins cure slowly, which helps prevent bubbles and cracking that can occur with standard formulations. A product such as EpoxyTable 5-Five is ideal for such projects, offering both UV stability and exceptional clarity for artworks, tabletops, or encapsulations.

Tips for Successful Deep Pour Castings

  • Layering for Extra Depth: For pours exceeding 5cm, cast in layers, allowing each layer to partially cure (typically 6–8 hours) before applying the next.
  • Mixing Properly: Adhere to the recommended resin-to-hardener ratio to ensure full curing and prevent sticky finishes.
  • Bubble Prevention: Deep pour formulations with low viscosity allow bubbles to escape more easily; gently warming the surface with a heat gun can further encourage bubble release.

When This Matters

Choosing a proper deep pour resin is crucial for large castings like river tables, creative joinery, and thick decorative objects. This prevents defects and delivers lasting strength and clarity.
