Deep Cast Clear Casting Resin (CER)
Product Description
Our Clear Epoxy Rigid Casting Resin has been especially formulated for deep casting in one pour making it ideal for resin river tables, also known as resin live edge tables
CER is an un-accelerated clear epoxy casting resin system, which offers a long open time for bubble removal and precise article placement. It also avoids high exothermic reaction and the resulting shrinkage after curing.
- Perfect for resin river tables
- Inbuilt UV inhibitors
- Water clear casting resin
- Mix and pour up to 12 litres or 50mm in one pour
- Decorative castings
- Making paperweights
- Excellent visual properties
This resin can be readily pigmented by the addition of our resi-TINT range of acrylic pigments, resi-TINT metallic powders or resi-METAL metallic pigments.

Mixing
The mixing ratio must be accurately followed to achieve perfect results. It is not possible to change the ratio which would result in the resin not drying properly and lower mechanical properties.
2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by volume provides a hard casting once cured. Pour the hardener first and then the resin. The mixed components should be thoroughly stirred for 3-4 minutes to ensure an even consistency. Epoxy systems tend to heat up in a pot than as a thin film, only mix the amount needed for use within the pot life of the product. The maximum volume that can be poured in one go is 12 litres.

Application
The mixed resin can be tinted with our resi-TINT pigments, resi-METAL or resi-TINT+ Metallic Powders to make your artwork pop. resi-BLAST will add stunning cells and effects, it can then be poured into a mould. The mould can be plastic or made of silicone rubber, moulding can be carried out by gravity or under vacuum. Temperature should be between 18 to 25ºC, humidity level below 70%. A 2:1 mix will provide a hard casting, suitable for manufacture of fancy shapes, decorative items etc. Should a new mix be applied onto cured resin, the contact surface should always be sanded in order to enhance adhesion, but only after 5 days. Once the resin is mixed and poured into the mould gently pass warm air from a heat gun or hairdryer on slowest speed setting, this will assist in removal of any bubbles generated during mixing.
