Factors to Consider
Depth per Pour Limitations: While the resin supports up to 2" pours for smaller molds and 1/2" for larger slabs, projects requiring deeper or thicker layers may need multiple pours or alternative products such as TotalBoat Fathom epoxy.
Curing Time and Working Window: The fast cure formula balances ease of use with a sufficiently long working time; users should plan accordingly to avoid premature setting or bubbles during mixing and pouring.
Surface Preparation Needs: Achieving the signature high-gloss, glass-like finish depends heavily on proper surface preparation; substrates like wood, concrete, or metal should be clean and adequately primed to prevent adhesion issues.
Colorant Compatibility: While the resin mixes well with mica powders, alcohol inks, pigments, and epoxy-safe dyes, not all additives are compatible, so users should verify this to avoid curing problems or discoloration.
Durability vs. Outdoor Exposure: The UV-resistant formula enhances protection against yellowing and cracking but extended harsh outdoor conditions may still impact long-term clarity and finish.
Offering a gallon kit at a competitive price of $74.99, TotalBoat Thickset provides solid value for those undertaking medium-scale projects requiring deep pours and crystal-clear finishes without frequent re-purchasing.
The resin supports deep pours up to 2 inches, self-levels for a glossy finish, mixes in an easy 1:1 ratio, and resists heat, scratches, and UV damage, making it well-suited for casting, river tables, and artistic applications.
Users benefit from straightforward mixing and pouring, with a reliable cure that avoids shrinkage or cracking; its durable finish enhances project aesthetics and longevity, improving satisfaction among DIY crafters and professionals alike.
FAQ
Can I pour this epoxy resin thicker than 2 inches in a single layer for deep casting projects?
This resin supports pours up to 2 inches per layer for smaller molds and up to 1/2 inch for larger slabs or river tables. For pours thicker than 2 inches in a single layer, consider using TotalBoat Fathom epoxy resin designed for deeper pours.
How long does the epoxy take to cure fully and become usable?
The epoxy features a fast cure formula but allows a long working time to self-level and release bubbles. Full cure typically occurs within 24-48 hours, depending on temperature and layer thickness.
Is this epoxy resin safe to tint with colorants, and which types work best?
Yes, it mixes easily with a 1:1 ratio and is compatible with mica powders, alcohol inks, and epoxy-safe pigments. Avoid using non-epoxy-safe dyes to prevent curing or finish issues.
Will this resin yellow or crack over time when exposed to sunlight?
The formula is UV-resistant and designed to resist yellowing and cracking, maintaining clarity and durability with normal daily exposure, though prolonged harsh outdoor conditions may affect long-term appearance.
Can this resin be used on surfaces other than wood, like stone or concrete?
Yes, it self-levels on various surfaces including wood, concrete, stone, ceramic, and metal, creating a high-gloss finish ideal for coating counters, art, and decorative inlays.
