Flower Preservation Class

Grab the resin you need to finish your beautiful dried flowers-  Apex Resin 

We recommend our Apex Resin Deep Cast for flower preservation.

Additional Information: 

Continue to preserve the memories of your flowers by embedding them into your Apex resin within a 12 week time frame.

Remember, your Blooming silica can be re-used, over and over by simply heating it in the oven after each use.  Simply re-generate between each use by heating in an oven (between 100 degrees C and 120 degrees C) for 2 hours (in a non-food use tray). 

The process can be sped up by using a microwave on high for 1 minute, and leaving to cool for an hour, although we would still recommend leaving the flowers for at least a week before embedding them in resin.

Information on silica dust: Many building products including concrete, tiles, cement products and clay bricks contain silica, as does sand, rocks and granite. Silica dust is usually created when these building products are cut, drilled or otherwise worked on to release fine particles. This form of silica ‘dust’ can be considered harmful to the lungs with prolonged use (in large quantities, over many years). We advise you to wear a mask when using silica and to avoid pouring large amounts in one go. 

Some flowers will alter in colour when dried in silica - please keep a journal of which ones do

There have been known to be some flowers that just struggle to dry successful in silica - these include Agapanthus, Lisianthus and Gerbra
