Deep Pour
Deep pour epoxy resin – also called casting resin or “liquid glass” – is formulated to cure slowly with low heat, so you can pour thick layers without cracking, yellowing or excess bubbles. It's the go-to resin for river tables, live-edge slabs, large moulds and embedding objects.
Choosing a deep pour resin
- Maximum pour depth – each product lists its maximum depth per pour. Pour thicker projects in layers.
- Mix ratio – most deep pour resins are mixed by weight (2:1 or 3:1). Use digital scales for accuracy.
- Food contact – for serving boards and charcuterie boards, choose an FDA approved deep pour.
- Kit size – calculate the volume of your mould or table with our epoxy calculator.
Deep pour FAQ
How long does deep pour resin take to cure?
Typically several days for a full cure, depending on depth and room temperature. Keep your workspace around 20–25 °C – cold NZ winters slow curing and can cause cloudiness.
Can I use deep pour resin for coating?
It's not ideal. For a hard, glossy top coat use a table top resin.
