The Deep Pour Epoxy For Large Castings, Slab Pours, and Flower Preservation

TotalBoat Fathom is simply the best and deepest deep pour resin kit for thick pour applications – pour single layers up to 3″ deep in prepared molds. Pour live edge slabs and river tables up to 2″ deep per layer. The thicker layer is possible because of the low amount of heat Fathom generates and the extremely slow cure time. But the beautiful results will be worth the wait! Especially with projects created using step pours, because each layer of epoxy will meld seamlessly to produce a final piece that’s completely clear, without visible lines or cloudiness.

Extra long working time is ideal for large or complex epoxy pours

Once you mix Fathom’s resin and hardener components, you have anywhere from 4-6 hours to pour the crystal-clear formula. This extended working time allows you to easily pour, embed objects, pop any trapped air bubbles, and make other adjustments as needed without the stress of racing against the clock. Ideal for art projects, preserving flowers and mementos, and woodworking projects where aesthetics and control over the process matter.

The working time depends on the volume of mixed epoxy you’re using, as well as the temperature of the air in your workspace – the ideal application temperature range is 60-80°F.

Use tints to change Fathom from clear to any color you want

Fathom is crystal-clear right out of the bottle, with a minimal blue tint to prevent yellowing, but you can easily personalize this clear liquid with mica powder, alcohol ink pigments, universal tints, and opaque pigment dispersions. Just mix the resin and hardener first, then mix in your epoxy-safe colorants.

Step Pouring Fathom

For best results when applying additional layers of Fathom after the first pour, it’s important to note the following:

• When your project involves pouring multiple layers of Fathom, it is extremely important to wait until the previous layer has cooled sufficiently, to prevent surface distortion, yellowing, or other negative effects of excessive heat while the epoxy is curing.
• Conservatively, the safest interval to wait is a minimum of 36 hours for Fathom to cure before applying more, regardless of pour depth and ambient temperature.
• For applications when it’s important to have the shortest interval for multiple pours, wait at least 24 hours, then use an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature at the center of the epoxy mass, where the highest temperature will be recorded.
• Wait until the previous layer has dropped below 85°F, and the previous epoxy pour has firmed up enough that it will not distort when liquid epoxy is poured on it.
• Always follow the maximum pour depth based on the volume of Fathom. Once all layers are complete, the epoxy resin will be fully cured in 5-7 days.

Should I use TotalBoat ThickSet or Fathom epoxy for my project – what’s the difference?

TotalBoat ThickSet and Fathom epoxies are both deep epoxies. But, if you are pouring deeper than an inch per layer, you want Fathom!
