Epoxy resin is a two-part material made by mixing resin with a hardener. Once mixed, it cures into a hard, durable surface.
In woodworking, epoxy resin is commonly used for river tables, filling cracks and voids, coating timber, resin art and casting projects.
What is epoxy resin used for in woodworking?
Epoxy resin is used to fill cracks and voids in timber, create river tables, coat timber surfaces and add resin features to furniture.
Different epoxy resins are made for different pour depths, so it is important to match the resin to the project.
What is the difference between casting resin and coating resin?
Coating resin is designed for thin layers over timber, artwork and table tops. Casting resin cures more slowly and is designed for deeper pours such as river tables and large timber voids.
Using the wrong resin for a deep pour can cause excessive heat, cracking or curing problems.
What is the best epoxy resin for a river table?
Use a deep pour casting epoxy for river tables. Deep pour resin cures more slowly, which helps control the heat generated in thicker pours.
The maximum pour depth varies between products, so always check the manufacturer’s specifications before pouring.
What is the best epoxy resin for table tops?
For a clear surface coating on a timber table top, use a coating or flood coat epoxy resin. These resins are designed to create a hard, smooth finish in thin layers.
For a table with deep resin sections or large voids, use a casting or deep pour epoxy instead.
