Our two-part clear casting epoxy resin system is specifically formulated for preserving flowers in resin, making it perfect for wedding flower preservation, dried flower wedding bouquets, and other memorable flower resin projects. Designed for pours between 1/2" and 2" in small to medium molds, Liquid Cast Preservation Epoxy Resin offers incredible clarity and a high-gloss finish. With its easy-to-use 1:1 mixing ratio by volume and low viscosity of 1,800 cP, this resin flower preservation solution provides excellent air release for bubble-free casting. Ideal for preserving real flowers in projects such as bookends, charcuterie boards, automotive shift knobs, wine stoppers, paperweights, and more, Liquid Cast Preservation Epoxy Resin ensures your wedding floral preservation and other flower resin projects are both beautiful and long-lasting. Please note that Liquid Cast Preservation Epoxy Resin is not intended for use with small jewelry items, shallow pours, or as a coating system. Pours under 1/2" may remain flexible. To prevent yellowing, cracking, shrinkage, and minimize bubbles, pouring in layers is recommended.

Prepare for Mixing { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-f81e0cd6-6c24-46a4-8b96-19088ad45f72" } } Gather your epoxy resin, mixing supplies, and personal protective equipment. We recommend at the very least using nitrile gloves, safety glasses, clothing to protect from spills. Be sure to use epoxy resin in a well-ventilated room or use an air-purifying respirator. Step 2. Calculate Coverage Area { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-82aee253-f0f2-412e-93d7-7fa9a7df0285" } } Using a tape measure, measure the length, width, and depth of your mold and then input this information into the Epoxy Resin Coverage Calculator to determine how much epoxy resin you will need to fill the mold. Step 3. Pour Epoxy Resin into a Mixing Container { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-7081f74b-9df1-4dfa-add2-cbd15cffc4f6" } } Measure your desired amount of epoxy resin at a 1:1 ratio by volume into a graduated mixing cup. Pour the resin first, allow it a moment to settle, and then follow up with an equal amount of hardener. Step 4. Mix Thoroughly for Four Minutes { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-3dcfe5d3-0278-4df4-9311-edb999a3a849" } } Mix the two parts together for a total of four minutes. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the container while mixing so that there is no un-mixed epoxy resin. Aggressive mixing can introduce excessive air, stir slowly but thoroughly. Continue to stir until the epoxy resin no longer has ribbons and returns to clear. Step 5. Pour into Mold { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-73ba8dd5-5d41-4c8b-9a4c-f0c255511891" } } Pour the epoxy resin slowly into your mold in 1/4" increments. To minimize trapped air in your project pour in 1/4" increments, allow 1-2 minutes for air to surface, sweep your torch or heat gun over the surface to pop any bubbles, and repeat until you reach your desired depth. Liquid Cast Deep Pour Epoxy Resin is not meant for shallow pours under 1/2" unless poured in layers. If poured under 1/2" the epoxy resin could remain flexible (depending on the mass and volume of the pour). In most cases we recommend pouring at 1/2" to 1" to ensure the epoxy resin does not overheat during the curing process. It is better to start small and add layers as necessary than pour too much at once. Larger pours should be poured in smaller layers to prevent air entrapment and overheating. Step 6. Use a Torch or Heat Gun to Remove Trapped Air { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-047c9684-83e2-4617-87fe-0ff91cccd1ce" } } Quickly sweep a propane torch or heat gun across the surface being sure to keep the flame 6-8 inches away from the surface. Do not overheat the epoxy resin or hold the heat in one spot for too long. We recommend heating the epoxy resin only during the working time, do not apply heat once the working time has passed. After eliminating bubbles allow the epoxy resin time to cure in the appropriate environment (listed in Technical Data below). Ensure that you are working in a well-ventilated room or using an air-purifying respirator. Questions? Check out our FAQ. Not finding what you need? Email [email protected] for project support.
