Is Epoxy Resin Suitable for Including Decor or Flowers?

← Back to How to cast your dream table with epoxy resin

Including decorative items such as flowers or small objects in epoxy resin is a popular way to customise tables and art. Careful preparation and the right resin ensures clear, long-lasting results.

Choosing Epoxy Resin for Embedding Decor

Not all resins are equally suited for thick pours or embedding items. For projects that involve including flowers, shells, or other decorative elements inside your table or artwork, it’s advisable to use a deep pour resin. Look for a resin that offers excellent clarity, low exothermic reaction to prevent overheating, and a generous working time. EpoxyTable 5-Five is one such product designed for thick castings up to 5cm, helping you secure decorative elements without clouding or trapping bubbles.

Tips for Successfully Embedding Flowers and Decor

To achieve professional results, it’s important to prepare your decorative items before embedding. Ensure flowers or botanicals are thoroughly dried to prevent discolouration or moisture issues. Arrange your items in place and pour resin gradually to avoid trapping air. If embedding very delicate or lightweight objects, consider pouring in layers, letting each layer partially cure so your decor stays precisely where you want it within the resin.

Use dried, moisture-free decorations
Pour resin in stages for large or intricate designs
Work in a dust-free, stable temperature area for best clarity

When Embedding Objects Makes a Difference

Adding objects or flowers within resin brings a unique, personal touch to your tabletops or artworks. This technique matters most when you want to preserve meaningful items or create a one-of-a-kind centrepiece that becomes a conversation starter.
