Understanding the thickness limits of EpoxyTable resins is key to achieving flawless results in deep pour applications like tables, river pieces, and large decorative castings. Selecting the right product—and using it within its thickness guidelines—helps avoid issues such as cracking or incomplete curing.
Maximum Safe Pour Thicknesses
EpoxyTable resins have well-defined limits for how thick you can pour each layer. “EpoxyTable 5-Five” is intended for pours up to 5cm thick in one go, making it ideal for furniture, decorative castings, and medium-sized projects. For even thicker applications, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” supports single pours up to 10cm. Exceeding these limits can result in excessive heat build-up, leading to warping, bubbles, or other defects.
Choosing the Right Resin for Your Project
Always match the product to your project’s thickness requirements. For items under 5cm, such as decorative trays or tabletops, “EpoxyTable 5-Five” provides the right balance of curing time and clarity. When your design calls for projects between 5cm and 10cm thick—like deep river tables or large sculpture bases—“Epoxytable 10-Ten” is the safer choice. For pieces exceeding 10cm in thickness, plan to pour in multiple layers, waiting for recommended intervals between each pour.
When Pour Thickness Matters Most
Pay extra attention to pour thickness when working with large, moulded or complex shapes. Projects like copying a resin hood often involve varying depths and might require a combination of strategic layering and correct resin choice to prevent heat-related issues and maintain a smooth finish.
