Comparison Guide
This is one of the highest-value decision pages on the site. Users often know how much epoxy they need before they know which category of resin will actually survive the pour.
Direct Answer
Use deep pour epoxy for thick casting work where heat management and layer depth matter. Use table top epoxy for thin flood coats and finish layers where leveling and surface clarity matter more than mass volume.
