If you have never performed a deep pour before, then there are a few tips to know. Whether you are working with timber slabs, or other projects along the Sunshine Coast, you must choose the right product.
Therefore, do the preparation correctly, and carry out the steps in the right order.
Choosing the Best Epoxy Resin for your Deep Pour.
The first step is getting the right epoxy resin for the deep pour. To find the right one, you will need to know the depth of the pour. As well as knowing the look you want to achieve, and the time it will take to cure.
For projects that require thick layers, deep pour epoxy resin is the best choice. Consequently, your deep pour will consist of several inches that reduces the chance of cracking or increasing heat.
Preparation of the Epoxy Resin
You have the epoxy Barnes Resin products ready from our shop, now you must clean and prep the project. It is important to remove any dust, dirt, or debris that could compromise epoxy pour. Plus, use plastic sheeting and drop cloths to catch any spills that might occur.
Mix & Pour onto Timber Slabs
Now you are ready to measure and mix the resin with the hardener. Be sure to follow the instructions listed on the epoxy resin to get the right ratio.
A digital scale can be used to ensure perfect balance. Be sure to mix thoroughly for the best results. Especially for timber slabs that may have great depth. If you are carrying out a pour on bulk timber slabs it is very important to get the ratios right.
Timber Slabs Warehouse can supply bulk and wholesale timber slabs for any project.
You will need to control the heat that builds within the epoxy resin as it cures. Too much heat will cause the resin to crack once it hardens. The room in which you are doing the pouring should be between 21 and 24 Celsius.
Epoxy Resin Deep Pour
Pour the epoxy resin in thin layers and let each layer cure before adding the next one. If you are engaging in a deep pour, consider purchasing heat-resistant epoxy resin for the job.
To avoid bubbles, pour the epoxy resin evenly and slowly. This allows the resin to level itself which releases the air bubbles. Apply heat with a heat gun or handheld torch which will help the bubbles reach the surface.
However, keep the source of the heat moving so that it does not scorch the resin. If you still have bubbles trapped below the surface, use a toothpick to pop them.
Take Your Time to carry out the Deep Pour
Perhaps the best advice is to be patient. Rushing the deep pour process may lead to an inconsistent finish, uneven curing, or debris is trapped in the epoxy. By letting each layer fully cure, you increase the chances of a successful pour.
Consider adding pigments or other additives such as metallic flakes, glitter, or even dried flowers for a more creative approach. Mix the pigments into the resin before you pour to get the best effect. Remember that for more artistic projects, a little creativity can go a long way.
