Fresh flowers will rot in resin. What to do? The best way to retain the color and shape of flowers, so they appear fresh, is to dry them in silica gel. Silica gel is not a gel at all, it is a desiccant that adsorbs and holds water vapor. There are many different types and sizes of silica gel. Choose the silica gel that resembles sand instead of beads, as the sand is more gentle on delicate petals.

Flowers float in resin! What to do? ⠀
⠀
I have found the best solution is to anchor the flowers down with an initial thin layer of resin. Use just enough resin to set the flowers in place. Let that layer of resin cure for at least 12 hours. The subsequent layers of resin can be poured without fear that the flowers will move all over the place. ⠀
