How to use River Resin Deep Cast Epoxy
1
Prepare
Warm the resin and hardener before use for maximum clarity. Pre-seal natural wood edges with Solid Cast 606 Clear Casting Epoxy Resin to stop air bubbles rising from the timber.
2
Measure 2:1
Measure 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume into a straight-sided container, or an open pail for batches of up to 16 litres.
3
Mix
Blend with a paint mixer on a drill at slow speed for several minutes until the mix is evenly clear.
4
Pour
Pour from a few centimetres above the cavity and let the resin flow along it. After 5 minutes, top up if needed.
5
Cure
Cure at a constant 25 °C (minimum 20 °C). It is touch dry in around two days, when a second pour can go on top, and needs a further two days before sanding.
6
Sand and finish
Cut back with a belt sander at 80 grit, then an orbital sander from 80 through to 320 grit. For more clarity, wet sand at 500, 800 and 1500, then finish with wood oil or polish.
Pour between 15 mm and 50 mm per pour. This keeps the exotherm reaction at a safe temperature.
Cure times
| Thickness | Cure at 23 °C | Cure at 40 °C |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 mm | 4–5 days | 22–26 hrs |
| 5 mm | 2 days | 16–20 hrs |
| 50 mm | 1.5–2 days | 12–16 hrs |
