Deep Pour Epoxy Resin Liquid Glass 1.5 Gallon Kit, 2-4 inch Super Clear Amazing Flow Casting Resin Kit, High Temp Heat UV Resistant Food Safe Epoxy, Bubble Free Low Viscosity Cast Coat Stone Wood

This was my first attempt with a deep pour epoxy and my experience with a test run went extremely well. I followed the directions carefully and made my pour in a small room that I was able to control the temperature with a little space heater set to 75 degrees. I used mica pigment powder that was mixed into the epoxy after the transfer to the second container. The pigments held very well, however I did notice the darker pigments fell lower to the bottom of the mold - not sure if it's because most of this color I poured first and then had the lighter blue pigments poured on top of it, but I did do some mixing with a stick and it seemed to settle again - so further testing is needed. Aside from that, the colors still turned out beautifully - I had just under 24 hours of setup time where the epoxy was still liquid enough to mix and move around as needed. between 24 and 36 hours, the epoxy had turned very gooey and tacky and by 48 hours it was solid enough to remove the mold from. At 72 hours, the epoxy was fully hard and stable. I made a small test pour of 4 inches by 10 inches by 1.25 inches with small boards of wood angled across the mold with the epoxy. I sanded everything up to 2000 grit and it felt like glass - my girlfriend didn't believe i didn't have a finish coat on it, it was so smooth and shiny. Overall wonderful epoxy, I will be purchasing again for use in much larger projects in the coming months.

Great product for thick castings with Epoxy. Picture is of a lamp I made with it. Doing a lot of woodworking with epoxy and want to do 1-3 inches at a time in a single pour. This was ~1.5 inches thick and 3 inches wide/depth. I did one even larger than that that was about 2.5x3x3 at the largest area. Bubbles come out super easily with a heat gun. Only time i had issues was with very porous wood. I typically seal coat porous areas but i was working with Walnut and it was a nice hard/clean cut wood so i didn't seal it. Since it's a open grain wood it had more bubbles come out that i had hoped, just make sure to seal the surfaces of open grain woods. I recommend a faster cure one for the seal coat, and pour once the seal coat has gelled but not fully cured. You want the epoxies to react with each other during cure for a better bond, unless you let it cure and sand the seal coat if it's a flat piece.It's stiff enough after ~72 hours at ~67-70F to demold and sand. Can still be a little squishy at 48 hours but is definitely gelled. Long cure time, but that's likely the reason you can cast up to 4 inches thick with this stuff. I was able to keep some in the freezer for a week and still use it which is awesome for topping off pours or hitting an area you missed earlier.Would not recommend for thin parts like coasters/petri dishes due to the long cure time. Use a faster curing product as those are thin, but if you need thick 2-4 inch pours this works great.

I’ve used epoxy resins before. This is by far the easiest to use resin I’ve used. It doesn’t have a bad small. It’s thin (but not too thin to cause a giant mess) and takes a long time to cure, so there’s plenty of time to address imperfections. The few bubbles that are left after pouring are easily removed with a torch. It cures crystal clear with a high gloss finish. I cannot recommend this stuff enough.

I absolutely love and recommend this resin especially for beginners and anyone that doesn't want to feel rushed the second they finish mixing up a batch. This stuff is water consistency even at room temps so it flows wonderfully into cracks and crevices without needing and help. The work time on this is longer than you probably need it to be but I love that. Other resins get super hot and start to cure like right away so you don't really have time to do anything but pour but this stuff only gets mildly warm. The clarity on this resin is really incredible and lives up to it's name for sure. I strayed and bought some "total boat" brand resin and it got so hot inside of 5 mins of mixing, that it nearly melted a red party cup and the stuff is just loaded with bubbles and puts off fumes like crazy. I will never buy another brand or style of resin as far as I'm concerned, this is as good as it gets. The one and only complaint is that with as long as this stuff takes to cure you will have trouble with things like glitter settling to the bottom of your molds. The way to avoid this is to wait to add glitter until this stuff gels up a little bit at the beginning of a cure. If you're just using inks or mica powders then this stuff doesn't need any extra attention and can be added right when you've mixed A and B up.

I'm new to the use of epoxy resins so I know there will be a learning curve. I've read lots of 'advice' from other users etc and overall I've had good success and outcomes, however still have some bubbles and 'imperfections' in my results often. My sense is it's 'user error' verses product. I do find that overall the appearance is crystal clear and it provides a gorgeous finish. I will update as I get into it more seriously and hopefully experience will be a good teacher.
