ClearWater Deep Pour Epoxy -High-thickness resin

ClearWater Deep Pour is a high-quality transparent epoxy resin designed for deep casting: it allows pouring up to 12 cm in a single pass without risk of excessive overheating. With high UV yellowing resistance, excellent flowability and minimal heat generation during curing, it is the natural choice for large-format river tables, encapsulations and high-volume artistic projects.

Technical specifications

What it is used for

ClearWater Deep Pour is designed for projects requiring deep castings in a single pass, where conventional epoxy resins would fall short or generate too much heat. Its crystal-clear transparency and UV resistance make it ideal for both decorative and functional applications:

• Large-format river tables with wood, stone or natural element inclusions
• Encapsulation of objects, decorative elements and electronics
• Sculptural and volumetric art, including large-depth three-dimensional pieces
• Recreation of water or ice effects in scale models and dioramas
• Jewellery and gemstones in high-depth silicone moulds
• Craft and large-scale resin accessory production
• Countertops, decorative panels and mould-cast surfaces

How to use it

1. Prepare the environment: work in a space with a minimum temperature of 20 °C and low humidity. Lower temperatures slow down curing and may affect clarity.
2. Prepare the mould or formwork: use silicone moulds, sealed wood or laminates that do not contain inhibiting substances. Apply Release agent 34D if the mould is not naturally non-stick.
3. Weigh the components: mix in a ratio of 100 parts component A to 30 parts component B, always by weight. Use a precision scale.
4. Mix slowly: stir with a spatula or low-speed mixer for at least 3–4 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the container thoroughly. Avoid incorporating air.
5. Add pigments if needed: incorporate epoxy-compatible dyes or additives before pouring, mixing until fully homogenised.
6. Pour into the mould: cast in a continuous and controlled manner. The maximum depth per casting is 12 cm. Do not exceed this in a single pass.
7. Remove bubbles: gently pass a heat gun or torch at a distance over the surface to break any surface bubbles. Do not apply excessive heat.
8. Cure undisturbed: leave the piece without moving it for at least 24 hours at 20 °C or above. For optimal curing, keep the environment stable.
9. Demould and finish: once cured, the resin is completely safe. You can sand, polish or apply a surface finish such as Top Coat Epofer EX201+E202 for extra gloss and protection.

Usage tips

Temperature control: key to clarity

The ambient temperature and the temperature of the components themselves directly affects the result. Below 18 °C, viscosity increases, mixing becomes more difficult and the cure may be incomplete or cloudy. If you work in a cold workshop, warm up components A and B in a warm water bath (40–50 °C) for 10–15 minutes before mixing. This improves flowability and helps eliminate bubbles.

Castings deeper than 12 cm: work in layers

If your project requires more than 12 cm of depth, divide the casting into multiple layers. Wait for each layer to have gelled (but not fully cured — around 12–16 hours depending on temperature) before pouring the next one. This ensures good adhesion between layers and prevents the build-up of exothermic heat that could yellow or crack the piece.

Pre-sealing wood for river tables

If you are going to form-cast natural wood for a river table, apply a thin coat of diluted epoxy resin or an Epoxy Top Coat over the wood before the main casting. This prevents air or moisture trapped in the wood's pores from generating bubbles in the resin body during curing. Allow this sealing coat to dry before assembling the formwork and pouring ClearWater Deep Pour.
