Placing flowers in the casting
Placing flowers in the casting is a common practice in the epoxy resins and silicone sector to create customized decorative objects. Before pouring the material into the mold, it is possible to delicately arrange the flowers inside to achieve a unique aesthetic effect. It is important to ensure that the flowers are completely dry to prevent them from releasing moisture into the resin or silicone. Additionally, it is advisable to position them so that they are fully immersed in the material to ensure even distribution and secure adhesion. This technique is particularly valued in the DIY sector for crafting jewelry, ornaments, and personalized artistic objects.
