Can you put FRESH FLOWERS in RESIN? What happens? 

Same..ruined my while project.. have you figured out a better way?

It’s always good to have a refresher

Miley onDisney thank you for all ways watching

I tried it with a preserved rose last year, but I can't tell how it looks now as I gave it away. But it definitely stayed in perfect condition for the few months I've got to see it after I made it and I plan to do the same thing again. I think it will work long-term, considering it stayed fresh for months after casting. Just take care of the thermal heat during the curing process, I casted a little too much which resulted in a lot of heat. It resulted in the roses red color being sort of "extracted" into the resin (which ultimately gave the sphere a lovely reddish shine, so it wasn't really bad, just beware)

Some days speaking is not my strong point 🙊

Yes you can add sparkle

I think so, my pretty dried pink rose turned brown immediately in the mold! I regret it so much. I’m going to try coating the flower before putting it in the mold next.

@@laami7766 did it work?? i need to do this for an art project final

you could do if you switch to a deep pour resin. Different resin need to be pour at different amounts

For flowers no sadly. Deep pour resin can get a bit hot while setting and can cause the flowers to change colours.

Yes because the resin heats up and basically defrosts them before it cures and flowers burn

Contente de pas me sentir seule des fois j'ai l'impression que les français aiment pas trop s'aventurer dans les vidéos anglophones 🤣🤣

That could be the kind of resin you are using

Use silica sand to dry it

You could use fresh flowers if you want to. However, fresh or natural flowers in resin will rotten overtime. Dry the flower out first for it to last longer!

@@angeliki5135 thank, very good

They would need to be dried 1st. Even tho they are natives they still have Moisture in the petals

You can always see really fine lines. Nothing you can do. But you don’t have to small pours if your not working with flowers

Because the flowers will float to the top and move. Also when pouring lots of resin it can heat up too much and discoloured the flowers

@@sherivegasartist thanks 🙏

Anything you add into resin can not contain moister or water. If the flower is fully dried out then yes

If you are worried about the flowers coming through the 1st layer then I would recommend pouring a layer and letting it set

Honestly I’ve not found that. I’ve tried all different types of spray and nothing has a impact

@@sherivegasartist please can you be more clear as to weather or not you have experienced the flowers turning black … and why did you use the spray in the first place ? Thank you soo very much 👍

What fresh flowers did you use

@@sherivegasartist different very small wildflowers. I found that larger flowers and really "juicy" flowers with large flat petals instantly browned, and some lost color instantly. These SEEMED to work but it sounds like it might not last? I'm worried about that. What do you think? I can't find info anywhere for ones that seemed good for awhile. Most people have them brown or rot instantly.

@jasmimehoover5359 how was your experience with the fresh flowers after 2 years? Please, i'm looking information about this and could't find anything in RU-vid...😢

@clarissauhlendorff4716 They do decompose, some just take longer than others. I still have a few things that look OK, but it was unpredictable which ones. Surprisingly it seems like the UV held up better than the regular resin, with fresh flowers. None of them completely rotted terribly, but I can tell they're not gonna hold up and they lost some color for sure. It's possible that getting 6 months-2 or 3 years out of something could be worth it to you, so that's the risk you're taking, and you decide if it's OK. I would say that's how long they last (given that they're wildflowers, petals, etc, not really juicy fat flowers like roses). Also, to beginners, TAKE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. I did once I knew but given the materials were sold at michaels etc I didn't think it was dangerous in the beginning, but I absolutely can't do it anymore because of the reaction I developed from not wearing a mask, gloves etc

Make art resin top coat

Did you try this? Genuine interest

@@pandazonk no i can't afford to play with resin just for fun

UV cure?

No sorry that’s very different
