This video is what inspired me to work with flowers ❤

[@albertquintero6624]

I loved this video and I really need your help with floating large items in epoxy…My wife has passed and I I want to create a large glasslike epoxy piece with her personal and most favorite belongings inside of it to like some of her favorite things inside of it like her perfume bottles, some of her high end makeup, her quite large designer hand bag, her sunglasses and several pictures. I feel this would be the perfect way to preserve her items and honor my best friend and my wife and I know you are the only person in the whole world that can help me make this a reality…PLEASE HELP ME Honor Her In The BEST Way I Know She Would Love!!!

[@MileyonDisney]

Hello. A few months ago, I won some Let's Resin resin in your giveaway. I've been using your silicone kit for making molds for a long time, but never tried your resin. I was amazed at how good it is. For bubble-free results, I usually use a 3:1 resin. But your 1:1 resin is incredibly bubble-free! I've tried many different brands, and had a few that I used more than others, but once I tried Let's Resin, I haven't been using anything else. The difference is CRAZY! Thanks again for hipping me to your resin. Oh - and your preserved flowers project is beautiful!

[@LETSRESIN]

Thanks so much for sharing your working experience with our resin.So glad to know that! Enjoy crafting!!🤗💕

[@KirstenLeafromItaly]

That is beautiful! I am currently working on a square memorial like that with roses from my dad’s funeral and a pyramid from my grandma’s. I have silica now but I didn’t when I dried those flowers. Did the traditional and hung them upside down until they were dry. They still maintained their color, mostly. I use the blue silica that changes to pink when they are spent. And I am also using Let’s Resin brand resin. It’s my favorite. I used it to dip the flowers in to seal them. They look like candied roses now. 😂 thanks for the tips in this video! ❤❤❤

[@LETSRESIN]

You're very welcome! we're glad the tips in the video were helpful for you🥰🥰❤

[@calivibes_84]

Wow I’m here for the same reason (my dad’s flowers) just a month later. I’m sorry for your loss. 😔 Hope you are happy with your project. How did it turn out?

[@KirstenLeafromItaly]

@@calivibes_84 thank you for your condolences. I’m so sorry for your loss as well. Losing a parent, especially one you’re close to, is difficult. He died right before thanksgiving and I’m still trying to process it. I haven’t completed them yet. They are multiple layer projects that take days to complete. I will post them in a video here when iam done

[@calivibes_84]

@@KirstenLeafromItaly Aw man the holidays must have been hard I’m sorry 🙁 Oh ok I’ll have to follow you to see how it turns out! I feel like the more I learn about this the more likely I am to just pay someone to do it. It’s a lot! 😬

[@MsFlagWaver]

I searched out videos for the same reason. We just had my mom’s funeral a week ago and i have so many beautiful flowers. I took the sprays apart and put them in vases but now I want to preserve as many as I can.

Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. I have watched quite a few of your tutorials. In one of them you used something to mix the resin together. Where do you purchase the plastic ( looks like a beater) mixer that mixes the resin?

[@ujuo2350]

Beautiful work. Can you reuse the silica gel?

[@fayetowlson-mann2615]

With roses I hold one in my hand, pour silica over the top and shake it to get the gel between the petals. If the centre is too tight you can remove the petals with tweezers

What’s the brand of silica gel you recommend to keep the color

[@saffu827]

Can we use d gel again and again for others

[@ViewtifulVash]

Don't you need to scuff up the final layer after applying the sticker for the resin to properly bond since it has become fully hard at that point? Also since it is fully hard do you need a layer line on the side now since it wasn't poured when the resin was still in it's tacky phase?

[@cristinateodora11]

can we use the silicagel like that for the cat litter ?

Thank you for that I always wanted to know own how to dry fresh flowers. For resin. They remain fresh forever? In the resin.

[@LETSRESIN]

Yay but It is normal for flowers to fade in resin over time. 🥲

[@lalithasubramaniam2677]

Very beautiful. Should we. Have to add layers after allowing drying time to the previous layer? How much dring time for each layer?

[@LETSRESIN]

Yes, correct. Sometimes need to wait for 8-10 hours for curing

[@jesusislord102]

Wonderful video, thank you! I plan to do this with my wedding flowers next year but we go on our honey moon for 3 weeks straight after the wedding. Will the flowers be ok in the silica gel for 3 weeks?

[@thehivetopeka]

Your flowers will be fine in the silica gel. It takes several weeks for the flowers to dry in silica. I have been preserving for years. You will love the outcome.

[@parulkukreja6042]

Must say very well explained and its beautiful ❤ How do you cure the air bubble Did you use vaccum chmaber

[@izzymalik6575]

Please can you do a video explain how much resin A and Resin B harder you need for different moulds? Do you wait 24hrs once it’s dried to do another layer on other products designs?

[@LETSRESIN]

Hey there, thank you for your comment. For your first question, you can use water to measure and the amount is vary from different molds. For the second question, we wait until the resin completely cured and them do another designs. 😊

[@Ea_139]

Yes!😌 you can reactivate it in the oven or microwave:) I can't think of the exact times and temperature but you can look it up in Google. 🙂

[@ViktoriyaPaige]

For how long do you cure it between each layer? Beautiful work!

[@LETSRESIN]

Around 6-8 hours until the resin gets into gel phase.😊

[@ViktoriyaPaige]

Thank u! I’ve been hesitating 😅

[@samirabakhashwain5446]

What if we do not have deep pour in the area we live in, can we use the 3:1 type of resin ? For 8cm pour for example , should we do in layers ?

[@LETSRESIN]

You can contact the resin supplier and ask for some advice. 😊

[@chescadayalo]

Can i reuse the silica gel? Also how do you prevent resin from having bubbles?

[@LETSRESIN]

Yes the times you can reuse depend on the silica gel's quality. Using resin to fill in the gaps of the flowers first and pouring in layers can greatly decrease the bubbles. Also, a self-degassing resin is also important! 😊😉

[@luxcib9433]

Just purchased this resin! It’s on its way.. How long do you leave between each layer to let it cure?

I had kept the flowers just like this, but colour of my red roses changed. Can u help?

[@ricoest6213]

Interesting🤔 can you reuse the silica gel???

[@rechellethackray]

You can reuse the silica gel. Once those little orange balls within the mix start changing to a much darker orange or even to a greenish color, it means it has too much moisture within the silica and needs to be refreshed. You then put your oven on low approx 100 degrees Celsius, then in a baking paper-lined metal tray, pour your silica gel evenly onto this, around 2-3cm at most in height, and bake until your balls turn the original light orange again. Let cool briefly then put straight back into an air-tight container. Then you can repeat that method over and over.
