You will find that our 2:1 Deep Pour Resin to be a step above the other products in the market place of New Zealand with one hundred percent clarity. Ocean Cast 100 can be poured to 100mm deep in your river table project however I do advise that for beginners to the art of resin crafting to settle for a layer 50mm to 60mm deep until they understand the boundaries of our product combined with room temperatures. Optimum temp ranges from 18c to 27c but can be cured in rooms up to 35c that will cure faster, but curing faster is not always the best practice. 

Ocean Cast 100 for Casting

When you are casting in moulds either with or without a resin pressure pot you can pour larger

volumes. For example we recently poured a casting for a gentleman that he was going to turn on his lathe to a depth of 250mm with a diameter of 600mm that had a chunk of wood in the centre. When you are encapsulating wood in large volumes of resin the wood will absorb a fair amount of heat from the exothermic reaction that occurs during the natural curing process.

With castings of large volumes I have another outer box that is water tight, or you could use a large plastic container to put your casting in so it is surrounded by water and ice.
