What resin should be injected for delaminated boards?
A comprehensive guide to selecting the right injection resin
Delaminated boards, whether found in floors, furniture, or boat hulls, compromise structural integrity and aesthetics. Using the right injection resin is crucial for long-lasting repairs. This guide details the most effective resins offered by ResinPro for restoring and reinforcing wooden and composite boards, helping you choose the best solution for your specific needs.
How Resin Injection Repairs Delaminated Boards
Injection resin works by penetrating the gaps within layered boards, bonding and reinforcing the material from within. The result is a stronger, more durable composite that resists future moisture intrusion and delamination. Selecting a resin suitable for your application ensures a professional finish and reliable, lasting results.

ResinPro Application Tips for Successful Board Repairs
Always clean and dry the delaminated area before resin injection. Gradually fill gaps, ensuring the resin fully penetrates for optimal bonding. Avoid exceeding recommended layer thickness: 2cm for Trasparente, 1.5cm for Icrystal. For eco-conscious wood repair, choose EpoxyWood; for clarity and versatility, select One-2-One, Trasparente, or Icrystal depending on repair needs.
Applications and Tips for Use
Preparing delaminated boards for resin injection is straightforward: ensure surfaces are clean, thoroughly dried, and sanded to aid adhesion. Inject your chosen resin into gaps or layers using a syringe or suitable applicator. For EpoxyWood, pay special attention to achieving full penetration—its unique formula makes it effective for both minor splits and extensive delamination in wood.
For artistic or visible repairs, both Trasparente and Icrystal provide a smooth, glass-like result. Remember to follow manufacturer’s guidelines on layer thickness to avoid overheating or impaired curing.

EpoxyWood is ideal for deep wood restoration; Trasparente and Icrystal provide clear, hard finishes for visible or surface repairs; One-2-One offers easy handling for crafts and smaller projects.
Is EpoxyWood suitable for external delaminated boards?
Yes. EpoxyWood is formulated to seal and reinforce dry wooden surfaces for effective restoration, even on boards exposed to external conditions. Always apply to surfaces that are well prepared and dry for optimal adhesion and durability.
What maximum thickness can I inject with these resins for board repair?
Trasparente supports up to 2cm per layer, while Icrystal allows up to 1.5cm. Inject additional layers after the previous one has cured if greater thickness is needed. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for best results.
Are these resins safe for indoor restoration applications?
Yes. Icrystal and One-2-One are non-toxic and low-odour, designed for comfortable indoor use. Still, ensure basic ventilation and safety precautions as with any resin system.
