Product Details
TotalBoat ThickSet Clear Casting Epoxy is a deep pour resin system ideal for thick casting, embedding & molding projects. Water-clear, 2-part formula makes DIY projects easy—just measure, mix, and pour! A simple 1:1 mix ratio of resin and hardener creates a deep, glass-like finish on bars, counters, and tables, highlighting the surface itself or the creative objects you've embedded, such as shells, bottle caps & photos.
ThickSet lets you pour deeper single layers than traditional tabletop epoxy. For large pours (river tables or slabs), pour single layers up to 1/2 inch deep. Pour small castings (using less than 10 oz. of epoxy) up to 2 inches deep. Long working time lets you experiment & have fun! Cured epoxy is BPA-free and safer for food contact.
Choose Kit size: 2-Quart, 1-Gallon, 2-Gallon, and 4-Gallon.

Info & Guides
Easy Instructions for TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy
1 - MEASURE
Pour 1 part resin and 1 part hardener by volume into a clean mixing cup (DO NOT mix more than 1 total gallon of material at a time).
2 - MIX
Stir for 2-3 minutes to mix thoroughly. Pour into a clean mixing cup and stir for another 2-3 minutes.
3 - POUR
Pour slowly, to minimize air bubbles. Use a spreader to help level out the layer. The maximum single-pour depth is 1/2" for large pours, and 2" for casting in small molds**.
Step pouring additional layers: Wait until the previous layer is cool, but still soft enough to indent with a fingernail, and pour the next layer of ThickSet directly on top.
IMPORTANT!
- **Environmental conditions are extremely important to the quality of the cure, and to achieving the best clarity and surface finish. Depending on the overall mass of epoxy being poured at a single time, the depth at which it is poured, and the ambient temperature, excessive heat may build up from the reaction, causing potential yellowing, cracks, or other shrinkage. Helping to dissipate the heat may help promote the best results. For the epoxy to cure fully, the ambient temperature must be between 65°F and 75°F. When pouring for larger projects, such as slabs or tables, do not exceed a pour depth of 1/2 in. to prevent yellowing or excessive heat from the cure.
- Multiple step pours are recommended, rather than one thick coat, which will generate excessive heat, distorting the surface.
- Do not place items hotter than 120°F on the cured surface.
- UV-resistant formula. If the item will be used extensively outdoors, we recommend coating with a UV-filtering varnish for maximum protection.
Should I Use TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy or TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy?
Both of these epoxies give you beautiful results for crystal-clear coating, casting, embedding or encapsulating projects. However, TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy is more of a 'coating' epoxy, and TotalBoat ThickSet epoxy is a versatile formula that can be used for thicker coatings and casting deeper molds
TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy Advantages
- Requires fewer pours to achieve final thickness of 1/2" and more
- Reduces possibility of banding (ability to see individual layers)
- Gives you longer working time at room temperature
Designed for thick casting, ThickSet allows you to do deeper single-layer pours than you can do with TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy. For example, you can pour a single layer of TotalBoat ThickSet 1/2" deep when pouring into large areas or molds, and up to 2" deep when pouring into small molds.
TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy Advantages
- Faster cure time for coating and shallow-depth embedding projects
- Higher viscosity and longer working time
- Beautifully thin layers at 1/8" - 1/4" thick
For deeper pours, should I use TotalBoat ThickSet or Fathom epoxy - what's the difference?
TotalBoat ThickSet and Fathom epoxies are both crystal clear resin systems that can be poured deeper than traditional epoxy, and both are ideal for castings, river tables, and slab pours, but if you want to do really deep pours, use Fathom because you can pour it in thicker single layers than ThickSet. The table below contains more information to help you decide which deep pour formula is right for your project.| ThickSet | Fathom | |
| Best Used For | Smaller scale castings and pours; ideal for castings using less than 10 fl. oz. per pour | Larger scale projects and castings using greater than 1/2 gallon of mixed epoxy |
| Advantages | Shorter demold time, shorter recoat time | Deepest pour depth per layer, longer working time, fewer pours, easier mix ratio |
| Max Pour Depth Per Layer | 2" for smaller castings using less than 10 oz. of epoxy; 1/2" for river tables, slab pours, live edge tables | 3" for larger castings, and up to 2" deep for river tables, slab pours, and live edge tables |
| Working Time | 30 minutes | 4-6 hours |
| Recoat Time | 4 hours | 24-36 hours |
| Demold Time | 24 hours | 48-72+ hours |
| Full Cure Time | 3-5 days | 5-10 days |
| Mix Ratio by Volume | 1:1 | 2:1 |

Great Epoxy
9 months ago
This epoxy is easy to mix with very few bubbles. Most bubbles that there are, burst on their own, or I can easily pop them. It cures crystal clear and dries hard. I get great results using on my 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch pours in molds.

First Time working with Epoxy
10 months ago
I have some fine Oak to work with but some of the boards have some wood knot holes and a long crack in the board. The knot hole was my first time working with Epoxy, but I am looking forward to work with the other problems with some of the wood to make them a focus instead of using them in the wood stove.

ThickSet Clear Epoxy
a year ago
I'm a big fan of the High Performance Epoxy but recently poured some small 1/32"" deep letters in White Ash made with a CNC and even though I sealed before pouring, I had a heck of time with micro bubbles. I decided to try the Thickset because it was less viscous but was worried that it wouldn't set up in the 1mm wide by 1/32"" deep engraved letters. It worked perfectly with the Black Diamond mica powders. Even with mixtures of only a few grams it set up in 36 hours with no micro bubbles. Great product. I know it says ThickSet but don't be afraid to pour it shallow.

1 - 10 of 14 Questions
Q: For the thickset clear casting epoxy, how hot does it need to get before moving in the accent color so it doesn't all just mix colors together?
2 years ago1 Answer
A: Thank you for your question. Because thickset has a low viscosity, the tint can sometimes settle out or blend easily. You have to wait for it to thicken substantially to keep pigment in suspense and prevent bleeding into other colors.

Q: Will this epoxy work with Acrylic paint as a pigment? What is the max ratio of Pigment to epoxy recommended
2 years ago1 Answer
A: Yes. There is no recommended ratio as it depends on the aesthetic quality you are trying to achieve however the pigment should probably not exceed 10% of the total solution. Add the tint after the epoxy is fully mixed. Always try a test piece out before applying to your final project.

Q: I recently did a pour with table top in a 6x6 pyramid and it came out very hazy, not crystal clear. I did it in 3 layers waiting about 8 hours in between. So I tried it again and this time I had a yellow hue on one side of pour as well as being hazy, but not as bad as first one. I did do the second one in all one pour. Any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong?
2 years ago4 Answers
A: TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy cures to an extremely clear epoxy material. If ThickSet has been improperly stored, or poured thicker than directed on the instructions and it generates excessive heat, the cured material may form a yellow cast.

Q: I am building a dining table 42'' wide by 72'' length with reclaimed Hemlock. Would this epoxy be my choice to fill in cracks and imperfections? Also for the size of the table would you know how much epoxy I will need to complete the pour?
3 years ago1 Answer
A: This epoxy great for this. It is completely up to how much wood makes up the table. If it's a ""River"" type table it will take more. I did a 30"" round with lots of gaps and it was a gallon plus. If it's a solid top with cracks and grooves, much less. But there will be a bit of loss that soaks into the wood. Half gallon plus or minus? Also, don't pour anything over 1.5-1.75 thick. Hope this helps.

Q: Hello, Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe... Wanted to know if you ship international ( Barbados)... Thanks for your help
4 years ago1 Answer
A: Hi! We do ship internationally, Hazards such as ThickSet would need to go Ocean Cargo however which can be expensive. We would ship to a U.S. based freight forwarder that you would coordinate for transportation to Barbados. For non-hazardous products, we can ship by air and commonly use USPS.

Q: I'm making a table from an oak log slice ( approx 3"" thick) Can I use this to fill in the checks? They are stabilized with inset Dutchmen. Would the Tabletop epoxy be more efficient?
5 years ago2 Answers
A: Yes you can. It's clear and gets harder as your table top. The problem is to fill 3 inches epoxy takes long time to cure or gets completely hard, may be 4-5 days. Good luck.

Q: Hello, I purchased this product with the intention of covering a small RV floor. The design I am looking for wants a black painted background applied before I start pouring epoxy and adding additional tints mixed with the epoxy. What is the best type of paint (acrylic, epoxy enamal, latex, oil) to apply to my preped surface with before I pour the epoxy. Thanks
5 years ago1 Answer
A: Depending on the what the substrate is your best bet is most likely an epoxy primer followed by a two-part paint which can then be overcoated with epoxy. Make sure the paint is completely cured. Sanding may be necessary and the bond to the substrate will only be as good as the paint which could cause problems somewhere down the road. Epoxy can be applied over latex and acrylic paint but it will not stick to oil based paint. Whatever paint you choose I recommend trying a test panel first. Thickset may not be the best epoxy to use. You would be better off using a more flexible epoxy such as TotalBoat High Performance 2:1.

Q: Is there any way around the $12.50 shipping charge for a $20 pigment order? I can get free shipping for the Epoxy kit alone, but when I add on the pigment packets (1 package of 10) to the same order, the shipping charge comes in at $12.50. Even if I put in the pigment order alone, the shipping charge is $12.50. It seems kind of strange to me, especially when it doesn't seem like it would be that bulky and heavy but it sure increases the overall cost for the pigment.
5 years ago1 Answer
A: Shipping is calculated at UPS retail pricing. $12.50 is the minimum amount UPS charges to make the 3 day trip from from RI to MN. You may have better luck if you phone your order in.
