Greater thermal mass in the container. The chemical reaction of combining the resin and hardener creates heat, which in turn cures the epoxy faster, which creates more heat, and so on, kind of a vicious circle....It's the same thing that happens with epoxy or any other two part resin system used in composites (fiberglass, carbon graphite, kevlar, etc).
