Which Resin Should I Use for Shallow vs Deep Fills?

Resins for Shallow Fills (Up to 2cm)

For projects with layers or pours up to 2cm thick, a standard clear epoxy such as “Trasparente” Multipurpose Epoxy Resin is recommended. It delivers an ultra-clear finish ideal for jewellery, small craft items, or art pieces where detail and a smooth surface are important. Apply in thin layers to avoid overheating and ensure a flawless, glossy finish.

Deeper Pours: 2cm to 10cm

Pours between 2cm and 5cm require a specialised deep-pour resin such as EpoxyTable 5-Five. This formula is designed for castings like tabletops and thick decorative pieces, reducing the chance of bubbles and heat build-up. For even greater depths up to 10cm, such as river tables or large blocks, use Epoxytable 10-Ten for a controlled cure and long-lasting clarity.

• 2cm–5cm: EpoxyTable 5-Five
• Up to 10cm: Epoxytable 10-Ten

Practical Tips for Successful Fills

Always pour within the recommended depth range for your chosen resin. Thicker pours may require casting in multiple stages to prevent heat issues and ensure proper curing. Measure carefully, mix slowly to minimise bubbles, and allow sufficient curing time. For rapid, smaller jobs, a fast-curing product such as IWhite may be suitable, but always check compatibility and intended use.
