Step 2: Mix and Pour the Epoxy Resin

Measure the required quantity of resin and hardener, following the manufacturer’s recommended ratio exactly to ensure a proper cure. Mix resin thoroughly according to instructions, slowly folding the components to prevent bubbles. For small, shallow projects such as pendants or coasters, “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin for Casting – Up to 2cm is ideal due to its clarity and self-levelling properties. Always wear gloves and work in a dust-free environment for the best result.

Step 4: Finishing and Curing

Once your final resin layer is poured and flowers are fully embedded, cover the mould to prevent dust contamination. Let the piece cure undisturbed for the full recommended time. Allow ample curing time for lasting clarity—patience is key for excellent results. When fully hardened, remove the piece from the mould and lightly sand any edges if needed. Your resin-embedded flowers are now preserved, ready to become jewellery, ornaments, or showpieces.

Tips, Common Mistakes, and Troubleshooting

Avoid moisture to prevent blooming or cloudiness—ensure flowers and moulds are bone dry before use. Always measure and mix resin precisely, as inaccurate ratios lead to tackiness or soft spots. Remove bubbles as you pour, since trapped air can mar clarity. If pouring in layers, stick to depth guidelines for your chosen resin type to avoid overheating. Dust, humidity and hasty demoulding are frequent pitfalls—take your time and cover projects while curing for optimum appearance.
