Best Uses

This deep pour resin is designed for thick castings and projects that benefit from longer working time and minimal exotherm. It performs beautifully for:

  • Flower preservation and botanical keepsakes
  • Deep molds and embedded objects
  • River tables, wood inlays, and furniture castings
  • Layered resin artwork and large pour blocks
  • Functional décor and sculptural castings

Need a faster recoat or a glossy surface finish after a deep pour? Use Artist Resin as a high-gloss topcoat. For production speed on surface layers, see Fast Set Epoxy.

CCDIY Pro Tips

Mix equal parts of Part A and Part B by volume. Stir slowly for 3–5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of your cup to ensure a complete blend. Pour in layers up to 2 inches thick, allowing each layer to set before adding the next. Work at room temperature for best flow and clarity, and avoid mixing less than 2 oz total to maintain the proper chemical ratio.

Plan accurately with our Resin Calculator. Seal porous surfaces with Quick Coat to reduce trapped air before a deep pour. Explore pigments, tools, and accessories in Casting Resin Supplies to complete your setup.

Working Time and Cure

  • Working Time: approximately 60–90 minutes at 75°F (24°C)
  • Recoat Window Between Layers: about 8–10 hours
  • Full Cure: approximately 72 hours at room temperature
  • Recommended Maximum Pour Depth: up to 2 inches per layer

This slow-curing cast resin supports large volumes with reduced heat, excellent clarity, and minimal shrinkage for professional results.

How to Use Culture Cast Casting Resin 

Step 1: Prep Your Workspace

Set up in a clean, level area at room temperature. If you’re working with flowers or wood, make sure they’re sealed to prevent trapped air. (Quick Coat works great for this.)

Step 2: Measure Your Resin 1:1 by Volume

Pour equal parts of Part A and Part B into your mixing cup. Accuracy matters as the Culture Cast is designed for predictable results when mixed correctly.

Step 3: Mix Slowly for 3–5 Minutes

Stir gently, scraping the sides and bottom as you go. Slow mixing keeps air from whipping into the resin and ensures a smooth, even cure.

Step 4: Pour in Layers Up to 2 Inches

Pour your first layer and let the resin naturally release bubbles. For thicker projects, work in multiple layers, allowing 8–10 hours between pours.

Step 5: Position Botanicals or Objects (If Using)

Take your time, your long working window gives you freedom to adjust petals, embed keepsakes, or perfect design details without pressure.

Step 6: Let the Resin Cure Fully

Culture Cast takes about:

  • 60–90 minutes open time

  • 8–10 hours for the next layer

  • 72 hours for a full, hard cure

Allowing full cure ensures the highest clarity and strength.

Step 7: Finish, Sand, or Topcoat as Desired

Once the resin reaches full hardness, you can sand the edges, polish the surface, or add a glossy topcoat using Artist Resin if you want a flawless finish.
