TotalBoat Fathom Deep Pour Epoxy Resin 6 Gallon Kit - Deep Clear Pours

In this review of the TotalBoat Fathom Deep Pour Epoxy Resin 6 Gallon Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is designed for makers who need confident single-layer pours up to 2-3 in and crave glass-like clarity. The reviewer found it particularly well suited to river tables, flower preservation, and large silicone castings because of its low viscosity, long working time, and strong UV resistance. For woodworkers and artists who want bubble-free, crystal-clear results without multiple thin layers, this kit delivers professional-looking finishes when mixed and cured under recommended conditions.

Key Features

• Deep pour capability: Allows 2-3 in pours per layer for silicone molds and smaller castings and up to 2 in per layer for large live edge tables, reducing layering and seams.
• Crystal-clear high gloss: Produces brilliant clarity with a high-gloss finish that resists yellowing and keeps embedded objects looking vivid over time.
• Low-viscosity formula: Easy to mix and pour, the thinner resin flows into details and accepts alcohol inks, pigments, and mica for custom effects.
• Extended working time: A 4-6 hour working window gives time to position embedded items and remove bubbles before the slow cure begins.
• UV and damage resistance: Formulated to resist UV, heat, scratches, stains, and moisture so finished pieces remain durable and attractive.
• DIY friendly kit: A 2:1 mixing ratio and demold in 48-72 hours with full cure in 5-7 days make planning and finishing predictable.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at hobbyists and professional woodworkers who build river tables, resin countertops, sculptures, and deep castings where single-layer depth matters. It is also a good fit for crafters preserving flowers and making larger molds who need long working time and low-viscosity flow.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need very fast cures for immediate handling, or creators requiring pours deeper than 3 in per layer for large structural fills; for those jobs multiple pours or specialty structural resins would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent clarity and high-gloss finish that highlights wood grain and preserved items.
• Low viscosity and self-leveling behavior make mixing and embedding small objects straightforward.
• Long 4-6 hour working time allows careful placement and bubble removal before curing begins.
• UV resistance and durability reduce yellowing and protect pieces from stains and scratches.

Cons

• Slow cure means you must wait 48-72 hours to demold and 5-7 days for full cure, which extends project timelines.
• Requires maintaining workspace temperature of about 65-80F for consistent results, which may need climate control.
