Epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer that is mixed with a hardener to create a strong, durable finish. Deep pour epoxy resin, as the name suggests, is a type of epoxy resin used for thick pours of 1/4 inch to several inches deep. It's ideal for creating custom-sized countertops, bar tops, and river tables. It can be poured over any material - wood, stone, metal, and concrete.
