Preserving flowers in epoxy resin creates lasting keepsakes and stunning decorations. Choosing the right resin ensures your arranged blooms stay vibrant and protected for years to come.
Selecting a Suitable Epoxy Resin for Flowers
Not all resins work equally well for delicate botanical projects. When casting flowers, clarity and a gentle curing process are crucial to avoid damaging petals or trapping bubbles. For deeper flower displays, formulations designed for thicker pours—like EpoxyTable 5-Five—offer both low exotherm and extended working time, reducing the risk of overheating and preserving the intricate details of each bloom.
For smaller arrangements or jewellery, options such as “Trasparente” or “Icrystal” provide outstanding transparency for shallow casts, making them ideal for preserving individual petals or small flowers in clear pendants and coasters.
Step-by-Step Tips for Casting Flowers
- Dry flowers thoroughly before embedding to prevent moisture issues and discolouration.
- Pour in layers if depth exceeds the maximum single-pour thickness (e.g., up to 5cm per layer with EpoxyTable 5-Five), allowing each layer to partially cure for optimal results.
- Slow pouring and bubble removal using a low-viscosity resin can help preserve fine details and achieve a crystal-clear finish.
- Use gloves and follow product instructions for mixing ratios and curing times for the specific resin selected.
When Clarity and Depth Matter Most
Flower preservation projects benefit from resins with high clarity and stability. Thicker or layered arrangements—such as floral displays for tabletops or centrepieces—demand products formulated for deep casting. For projects requiring glass-like transparency and robust protection, deep pour resins ensure petals remain visible and free from yellowing or cloudiness over time.
