If you love adding real blooms to your resin pieces, it’s essential to understand whether sealing flowers is necessary before embedding them in epoxy resin. Proper preparation directly impacts both the look and longevity of your finished project.
Why Consider Sealing Flowers for Resin?
Natural flowers contain moisture and organic oils that can cause issues like browning, fading, or bubbles when they come into contact with resin. Sealing flowers or, even better, using fully dried and prepped flowers helps preserve their natural colour and structure, making your resin art last longer and look more vibrant.
How to Prepare Flowers for Resin Pouring
It’s recommended to start with flowers that are already dried and pressed if you want crisp, lasting results. Products like Natural Dried Flowers for Art Projects and Epoxy Resin Casting are prepared for immediate use, which means you don’t need to seal them further before pouring resin.
- Choose blooms that are fully dried and free of moisture.
- If drying your own, consider lightly brushing with a clear-drying sealer for extra colour protection.
- Arrange your dried flowers in the mould and pour resin in layers to ensure proper coverage.
When This Matters Most
If your project uses fresh flowers or blooms dried at home that still seem flexible or damp, sealing is especially important to avoid disappointment. However, with professionally prepared dried flowers, you can skip this step and move straight to creating your resin art.
