Best Resin for Embedding Flowers in Cubes

← Back to How to embed a flower in a resin cube

Preserving flowers in resin cubes is a beautiful way to capture their natural beauty. Choosing the right resin ensures your creation stays clear and vibrant for years to come.

Choosing the Right Resin for Your Cube Size

The ideal resin depends on the thickness of your desired cube. For castings over 2cm, a specialised deep pour resin such as EpoxyTable 5-Five works best, preventing excessive heat and unwanted bubbles. For smaller pieces up to 2cm thick, opt for a multipurpose clear resin like Trasparente.

Practical Tips for Flower Embedding

Dry your flowers thoroughly to avoid moisture in the resin.
Arrange the flower in your mould before pouring to keep its position.
Pour resin in layers for deep cubes, allowing each layer to set partially to reduce bubbles and preserve detail.
Use a suitable mould sized for your project so the resin cures evenly and releases easily.

When Resin Choice Matters Most

Thickness is crucial: using the wrong resin can lead to overheating or a cloudy finish. Deep pour resins are designed for castings up to 5cm, while standard clear resins may only work well up to 2cm. Choosing appropriately helps showcase embedded flowers with clarity and stability.
