Always mix ResinFX resins by weight rather than volume, as the base and hardener have different weights.

It is always recommended to seal the live-edge (River) of your wood before doing your deep pour. This is to alleviate air bubbles coming up through the river whilst the resin is setting. Make sure your wood is dry and has no moisture trapped in it, then apply your sealant. Our TT4.0 table top resin can be watered down (10-15%) with epoxy thinners to make a viscous (watery) resin, but never use deep pour resin.

Depending on the room temperature, heating the epoxy is necessary to thin down the consistency of the resin.Resin that’s too cold is like molasses. And if attempting to mix the parts, no matter how slowly you stir, you’ll trap all sorts of air bubbles. The thicker consistency also makes it hard to fully combine the two parts. Putting the resin and hardener into hot water for 15-30 minutes is a great way to warm the resin(22-26deg). Make sure you dry the resin containers thoroughly before mixing, so that no water contaminates the resin. For smaller amounts, use the microwave on a low setting until resin is warm(not hot). . Be extra vigilant to make sure you have combined the two parts properly.!!

Again this depends on the mass of material and temperature. Deep pour epoxies take much longer to react and curing may take up to 72 hours for the DP4.0 resin. The TT4.0 table top resin is much faster and should be touch-dry in 6 hrs, 24hrs until fully cured(@ 25deg). It is not recommended to use either resin in temperatures less than 17deg.

This is definitely the hardest question to answer due to all the variables. Without going too overboard, when part A and part B are mixed a chemical reaction occurs, crosslinking all the molecules which in turn causes heat. One of the great things about deep pour resin is that it creates heat slowly. But...a thicker and larger area will cause more chemical reaction and therefore produces more heat. Too much heat will cause the resin to exotherm (overheat). Problems caused by overheating include cracks, bubbles, and resin shrinkage. For bigger pours, it is essential to use a fan to blow cool air over the product while it’s setting. Temperature obviously plays a large part in how quickly or slowly the reaction happens, and it’s recommended to pour in temperatures between 18 and 26deg. If it’s a big pour, try to keep the room cool (18deg) for the first 12-24hrs. A low and slow approach is a great way to go.
