Embedding flowers in resin is a popular way to preserve natural beauty for keepsakes and decorative pieces. But before you begin, it’s important to understand the safety considerations involved in working with resins.
Understanding Resin Safety
The selection of epoxy resins at ResinPro is carefully formulated to be non-toxic and solvent-free when used as directed. While these resins are suitable for crafting projects such as flower embedding, they must be handled with care. Always wear gloves to protect your skin and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid lingering fumes. Even non-toxic resins can cause irritation if mishandled, so taking these basic precautions helps ensure a safe experience.


Best Practices for Safe Flower Embedding
- Personal Protection: Use nitrile or latex gloves throughout your project. Safety goggles are recommended when mixing resin.
- Workspace Setup: Ensure your work area is airy and, if possible, use a fan to circulate fresh air. Cover surfaces to prevent accidental spills.
- Mixing and Pouring: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions provided with your resin kit. Avoid direct contact with uncured resin and clean any spills promptly.
Choosing the Right Resin
The specific resin you choose depends on the thickness and style of your project. For smaller castings up to 2cm, “Trasparente” Clear Epoxy Resin is ideal, offering a non-toxic formula and ultra-clear finish. For deeper pours, products like “EpoxyTable 5-Five” or “Icrystal” can be considered—each suited to different casting thicknesses and also engineered for user safety.

When This Matters
Safe handling of resin is essential for anyone embedding natural flowers—whether you’re making jewellery, tabletops, or display pieces. This ensures both the beauty of your project and your own wellbeing.
