Frequently Asked Questions

Countertop resins: working on timber surfaces

Timber surfaces are a popular choice for epoxy countertops due to their stability and natural beauty. When coating wood, always ensure the surface is dust-free, dry, and sealed to prevent excessive resin absorption. Use a resin compatible with your chosen timber to achieve a durable result, such as those offered in the "Stone Effect Collection" kit or "Trasparente" multipurpose resin.

Food safety: certified clear resin for kitchenware

If your project will contact food, a resin with verified food-safe certification is vital. “EpoxyFood” epoxy is specifically certified under EU Regulation No. 10/2011, suitable for coatings with direct contact with snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. Follow all mixing and application guidelines to maintain safety compliance.

Deep layer projects: which resin for large tables?

For thick layers over 2 cm and up to 10 cm, select a specialised deep pour product like "EpoxyTable 5-Five" or “Epoxytable 10-Ten”. These resins minimise heat build-up, provide strong UV resistance, and allow intricate customisation with embedded items and colours.

Bubble-free pours: achieving clear, smooth finishes

Bubbles are a common challenge in epoxy countertops, especially with thicker pours. To achieve a clear, smooth result, select a resin with low viscosity for bubble release, pour slowly, and use heat gently if manufacturer instructions allow. Products like “EpoxyTable 5-Five” and “Epoxytable 10-Ten” are formulated to support bubble-free deep pours.

Eco-conscious use: vegan-friendly and solvent-free options

Many modern epoxy systems are vegan-friendly and free from harmful solvents. “Trasparente”, "Stone Effect Collection", and deep pour EpoxyTable resins all feature cruelty-free, non-toxic formulas suitable for the eco-conscious maker.

Colour options: adding creative pigments

Most multipurpose casting resins, particularly the Trasparente kits, can be customised with compatible pigments or mica powders. Always refer to product guidelines to maintain clarity or comply with food-safety as needed.

Pouring in multiple layers: when is it necessary?

When your project exceeds the maximum recommended thickness for a single pour, multiple layers are advised. Allow sufficient curing time between pours, usually 6–8 hours or as per product instructions, especially with deep pour systems like EpoxyTable 5-Five or 10-Ten.

Project scale: choosing resin for small vs. large surfaces

For small-scale artistic or repair work, multipurpose options like Trasparente are often ideal. For larger surfaces requiring high durability and thickness, use specialised kits designed for tables or countertops to achieve optimal mechanical strength and finish.

Whatever your surface or artistic ambition, these epoxy resin solutions offer strong, durable, and beautiful results for both functional and creative installations. For more inspiration and technical options, explore all countertop kits or see all deep pour resins in our full catalogue.
