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! Simple 3 parts resin to 1 part hardener mix ratio 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 16 oz. of epoxy) up to 1 inch deep. Long working time lets you experiment & have fun! Cured epoxy is BPA-free, safer for food contact.
Choose Kit size: 1.3 QT, 1.3 GAL, 4 GAL or 8 GAL.
Note: ThickSet Epoxy is also available in a 55 gallon kit. Please contact us for pricing.

NOTE: For convenience dispensing smaller amounts of ThickSet, try our new calibrated 3:1 Epoxy Pumps. No guessing, no mess, and a perfect cure every time!
Stir for 2-3 minutes to mix thoroughly. Pour into a clean mixing cup and stir for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour slowly, to minimize air bubbles. Use a spreader to help level out the layer. The maximum single-pour depth is 1" 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!
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 more of a 'casting' epoxy designed for thicker pours.
TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy Advantages
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"-1" deep when pouring into large areas or molds, and up to 2" deep when pouring into small molds.
TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy Advantages
The maximum single-layer depth for TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy is 1/8"-1/4".

First time buying from Total Boat. I called them and explained the project I was working on and this is what they recommended. I was filling cracks and knot holes in a cedar slab. Loved the pumps on the jugs and the product worked great. Will definitely be a returning customer.

I am a first time epoxy user and spent several months researching which epoxy was the best. It came down to Total Boat epoxy and one other brand. I decided on total boat because of how long they have been in the game. I'm glad I went with Total Boat Thickset! My project turn out amazing. Easy to use. Make sure you mix your epoxy and it will set how it is supposed to!

Great first experience when I bought this resin. It comes out crystal clear and it is great quality. I had a couple of questions about this particular resin and when I called total boats customer service, the man who answered the phone was very helpful. Great customer service and great products.

I was told that our friend has been learning a new craft and running low on your product. I learned your company was out of the size needed. The gal I talked to assured me it would be in stock on time. She was so helpful and what a great experience.

Have used this a couple of times and am very happy with it. Works as promised drying time is acceptable and dries crystal clear. My suggestion and I highly recommend is to use a vacuum chamber, especially since it is a thick pour. Would recommend this and there other products as everything I have used has worked perfectly as long as instructions are followed. Nice to get a product that does what it says.

My first order of total boat arrived to my house completed spilled and saturated the entire box. I reached out to customer service and they sent me a replacement order immediately. After receiving the replacement, I used the epoxy for a custom order for a friend where I poured it into a large silicone mold with photos inside. I was able to pour around an inch at a time, and although the curing time is longer than I'm used to, it came out flawlessly! No bubbles, just clean perfection. This really is the best deep pour expose I've worked with.

I used Total Boat Thickset to make 15 charcuterie boards for I used Total Boat Thickset to make 15 charcuterie boards for Christmas gifts this year. It is easy to work with and my projects look amazing! I would highly recommend this--especially for charcuterie boards and especially for beginners like me.

This is the second time using this product, and I'm filling holes and checks in sinker cypress with it. When mixed with the "metallic" color packets it is really striking. My pours have been about 3/4" thick, done at the end of my workday. Plenty of working time. When I return to the shop the next day I can dent it with my fingernail, so I can make another pour without sanding to reach the desired thickness.
