The Magic of Epoxy Resin

The Magic of Epoxy Resin: Preserve Your Flowers Forever with Sal’s Forever Flowers

Have you ever wished you could capture a special moment forever? Whether it’s a wedding bouquet, a sentimental gift, or a beautiful bloom from your garden, preserving flowers in epoxy resin allows you to keep their beauty intact for a lifetime. At Sal’s Forever Flowers, we specialise in turning your precious floral memories into stunning, long-lasting keepsakes.

In this guide, we’ll explore:
– What epoxy resin is and how it works
– The difference between epoxy resin vs. UV resin
– How to use resin for flower preservation
– Why Sal’s Forever Flowers is the best choice for professional resin preservation

Let’s dive in!


What Is Epoxy Resin?

Epoxy resin is a two-part liquid solution (resin + hardener) that, when mixed, undergoes a chemical reaction to form a hard, crystal-clear, and durable plastic-like material. It’s widely used in:

  • Art & crafts (jewellery, coasters, paperweights)
  • Home décor (preserving flowers, geodes, custom tabletops)
  • Industrial applications (coatings, adhesives, repairs)

For flower preservation, epoxy resin is the gold standard because it:
✔ Encases flowers in a glass-like finish
✔ Prevents decay, yellowing, and wilting
✔ Enhances colours while maintaining natural textures


Epoxy Resin vs. UV Resin: Which Is Better for Flower Preservation?

If you’ve researched resin crafts, you may have come across UV resin as an alternative. Here’s how they compare:

Feature Epoxy Resin UV Resin
Curing Time 24-72 hours Minutes (with UV light)
Clarity High (thick pours stay crystal clear) Can yellow over time
Durability Extremely strong More brittle, prone to cracks
Best For Large projects (flower preservation, tabletops) Small crafts (jewellery, quick fixes)
Cost Affordable for large projects Expensive for big pieces

Why Epoxy Resin Wins for Flower Preservation:

  • Deep pours without bubbles or warping
  • Superior long-term clarity & strength
  • Better for encapsulating delicate flowers

At Sal’s Forever Flowers, we use only high-quality epoxy resin to ensure your blooms stay flawless for decades.


How to Preserve Flowers in Epoxy Resin (DIY Guide)

Want to try resin flower preservation at home? Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:

1. Choose & Dry Your Flowers

  • Pick fresh, dry flowers (or let them air-dry for 1-2 weeks).
  • Avoid overly moist blooms (they can rot inside resin).

2. Prepare Your Workspace

  • Work in a well-ventilated area (resin fumes can be strong and resin is toxic).
  • Wear gloves & a mask for safety.

3. Mix the Resin

  • Follow the 1:1 ratio (or as per instructions).
  • Stir slowly to avoid bubbles.

4. Pour a Base Layer

  • Add a thin layer to your mold.
  • Let it sit for 15-30 mins (to prevent flowers from sinking).

5. Arrange Flowers & Seal

  • Place flowers gently into the resin.
  • Pour the remaining resin in layers (to avoid overheating).

6. Let It Cure

  • Wait 24-48 hours before demolding.
  • Sand & polish if needed.

Pro Tip: For flawless results, professional preservation (like ours at Sal’s Forever Flowers) ensures no bubbles, discoloration, or imperfections!
